Reader comments about this quote:
I understand that there are powerful or intelligent or insightful or inspiring people behind the scenes that help identify talent. I have heard it said that Abner Mikva, who is one of the above, identified and may have put a bug in Barak's ears, even though Barak had to do the work, and had to beat out in effect about 12 candidates from each party to get where he is today. In this latest election the parties nation wide did the nominating.

He not only did the nominating but probably the counting as well. Democrats made vote stealing an art form.

As long as we have the so-called 'two party system' (which is in fact merely a one-party monopoly), we will never get a good choice. Of all the brilliant people in this country, why do we have to choose between what the GOP and Demos give us? These parties can do whatever they want to select their 'nominees' as we have seen better than ever in the last few years. And the press is all too willing to ignore any other alternatives. Thumbs down for Boss Tweed and the graft he stood for.

Who did the nominating this time? George Soros? And who's pulling the strings of the next White House puppet?
 -- Ken, Allyn, WA		 
Especially when you get to nominate the contenders for both parties. I fear that the ever escalating vote fraud by the left has gotten to the point that we are incapable of getting it corrected. It has been bad for a long time but the fraud this time was so bad that calling it an election is a joke.
