McCorruption on parade
The Wash state Republican convention was here in Spokane last week. Manchurian Candidate McCain's forces ruled with an iron hand, using all sorts of parliamentary tricks to ruthlessly hammer down any conservative or nationalist ideas that dared to pop up.
For full online coverage go to TVW, where you'll see a box containing the various segments. If you're reading this later after the box goes away, here are the five segments.
It was clear that a majority of the county delegates were strongly unhappy with Manchurian Candidate McCain. There was a constant near-mutinous tone of protest, and even a walkout at one point, which didn't seem to bother the General Secretary of the state Party; he simply forged ahead.
This is, of course, the same state party that stopped counting caucus votes when it looked like the votes might favor Huckabee. Not that counting them would have mattered in the long run, since we now know that Huckabee wasn't really a candidate but only a sort of gadget or contraption designed by Manchurian Candidate McCain to eliminate Romney from the race.
