We are way better prepared this time around than we were in either 2000 or 2004. Look at how the Macomb County, Michigan GOP chairmen James Carabelli had his head handed to him after he suggested he would use foreclosure lists to challenge people’s right to vote in the presidential election. It’s a world-class beat-down that is so emphatic that the man is now denying he ever suggested such a thing in the first place. The Obama campaign used it’s 12:30 conference call with reporters to call this dude out personally, but they need not have worried. James Carabelli is now a national disgrace and a national emblem of Republican values: lose your home, lose your vote.
