Something that seems to be largely ignored by our “liberul” MSM is the Norm Coleman / Al Franken senate race. Why? I don’t get what isn’t there to go all ga-ga over.
It is a never ending saga over there and it seems, to me, that Coleman can sink low enough. It seems that all the sleazy accusations that the GOP throws out around election time, are exactly what they, the Coleman team get caught doing time and again.
Wahhhh, voter fraud. Coleman’s team is found to have been tampering with witnesses.
Wahhhh, absentee ballots don’t get counted. Coleman doesn’t want the ballots counted
Now the latest in the Coleman is saying that Franken hacked into his database of donors and is scaring them into not donating…
“It is obviously an attack on this campaign,” said Coleman. “But beyond that, just in terms of the campaign we’re involved in a very expensive legal proceeding. Online fundraising is a very critical element of that, and clearly the theft of this information, the publication of this information undermines that. But this is more about my campaign or the ability to fund a legal effort or campaign. We do so much online. Politics today relies on online fundraising, and unfortunately we find ourselves in a situation where the level of trust and confidentially in that information is severely undermined.”
But of course, it is going to be Colemans fault because well, they are idiots over there and all the money in the world isn’t going to buy this election:
Professor David Schultz, who teaches election law at Hamline University, tells TPM via e-mail that the Coleman campaign could be in serious legal trouble, assuming this was the product of their own negligence:
His campaign potentially violated state law by not promptly notifying card holders of the disclosure of their card info. Assume the campaign did suffer a breach in security, his campaign faces fines under state law and it is possible a card holder could sue the campaign for any damages. It would be hard for the donors to sue Coleman personally and prevail.
Coleman’s spokesman has not responded to an e-mailed request for comment on Schultz’s analysis.
But, you wont see this stuff in the news. God, how awesome will it be when Franken gets seated and the dems have 60…
