McCain's reaction to the Georgia Crisis might be the most dramatic, inappropriate and pathetic example ever of a candidate for president acting like he's already president.

Where the fuck does he get off telling the current commander-in-chief where and how to deploy the military in a war zone!

Its really outrageous.  Too bad we don't have a media.

This is a pretty natural fear to have after 2000. However, if there is actually a recount, or some other kind of rules dispute around the election, it is more likely to be resolved in the Democrats' favor. That is because, of the 15 most important states according to our Tipping Point metric, the Secretary of State is a Democrat in 11 of them, and the governor is a Democrat in 12 of them. The tally follows below the jump.

<pre>State SOS Governor
Ohio Democrat Democrat
Michigan Republican Democrat
Virginia Democrat Democrat
Iowa Democrat Democrat
New Mexico Democrat Democrat
New Hampshire Democrat Democrat
Florida Republican Republican
Pennsylvania Democrat Democrat
Nevada Democrat Republican
Indiana Republican Republican
Montana Republican Democrat
Oregon Democrat Democrat
New Jersey Democrat Democrat
Wisconsin Democrat Democrat</pre>

You're forgetting the second part of 2000 (none / 0)
it wasn't only Harris, it was also the Dems cringing when the Repugs started to call them the worst names and accusing them of misdoings

I'm not that hopefull that these Dems would have the backbone to stand up against Repug lies when they start screaming foul and fraude, which will undoubtely be echoed by the media
