buckets,

I think that Nguyen came awfully close to harassment. His only saving grace is that he’s a private citizen, not an incumbent official. If an elected official sent a letter implicitly threatening prosecution/deportation if a person votes, that’s a clear cut case of voter intimidation. You have to be really careful what you send people in the mail.

Did you see that second link? Right on cue, I saw that one and immediately thought of you. That is simply mind boggling. I think that the Obama campaign has jumped the shark.

I know that they’re setting the stage for the recount phase of this election. (Thank you, Al Gore! He will rival Richard Nixon in the hall of shame.) Obviously they did this on Friday to avoid publicity, but this will fire up Republicans like nothing else. It is absolutely surreal, and does indeed make your original point.
