MoveOn comes through for Hillary

By Michael J. Smith on Friday September 1, 2006 05:28 PM

Predictable denouement of the rigged MoveOn endorsement poll, Tasini vs. the Infernal Hill:

From: "Eli Pariser, MoveOn.org Political Action" help@list.moveon.org>

Subject: No U.S. Senate endorsement
Dear MoveOn member in New York,
We wanted to let you know, MoveOn won't be making an endorsement in the U.S. Senate Democratic primary. In voting over the last day, neither Hillary Rodham Clinton nor Jonathan Tasini garnered the two- thirds support from MoveOn members necessary for an endorsement. The margin in our online vote was 56 percent for Clinton and 44 percent for Tasini.
The MoveOn election effort in New York and across the country will stay focused on beating vulnerable Republican incumbents in House races—working to end one-party Republican rule in Washington.

Predictable? I'm shocked it was so close.

Good point, Peter. Even with a stacked deck, the Ogress had rather a narrow escape, considering.

That is moderately surprising. Soros will be pissed.
