This video of Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, a Democrat, was released today by the Minnesota GOP. Knowing that this guy is in charge of counting their votes should cause Minnesotans to lose some sleep. Something tells we that we are going to be talking about Mr. Ritchie's antics a lot as this recount moves forward.

This is going to be an interesting ride |
|
and a vocal intonation that comes off as prissy.
Bad combination. |
|
|
in the Senate???? Franken will actually be a bigger joke than Obama should he win the election. And that's a tough one to beat. |
|
|
So, ya got nuthin' on him. He stumbles a bit, but he's no Bush. Now we know what he sounds like. There's a month to wait for results, so nuthin to see here yet. |
|
|
And we "dumb" Americans have gotten used to this kind of short-term memory loss on the part of both the media and government illuminati who practice their sound bites in their sleep, evidently. |
|
MN Sec. of State??? Was he elected?
We are in such deep sh*t in this country. |

at body temperature.
"The referee in Minnesota’s hotly contested Senate race must act in a nonpartisan fashion, yet Ritchie came to office through a nationwide partisan strategy. He was elected in 2006 as part of a national campaign to ensure that Democrats could wield influence in precisely the sort of hair’s breadth race we now have here."
"Ritchie gained office with the help of the Secretary of State Project (SOS), an independent 527 group co-founded by former MoveOn.org leader James Rucker. SOS is based in San Francisco, and is funded in part by ultra-liberal kingmakers such as George Soros."
"Secretary of state positions are a “new front” in the “battle for political control,” the paper explained, because they are “the obscure but vital state offices that determine who votes and how those votes are counted.”
“National Democratic groups are pouring resources” into secretary of state races in key swing states, in order to enhance their control in future tight elections, said the paper. Minnesota was one of the top six states targeted."
"...SOS co-founder Becky Bond took credit for his victory."
“Thanks to SoS Project donors, Minnesota’s Mark Ritchie — a true champion for democracy — was able to defeat a two-term incumbent republican [sic] by less than five points,” she wrote on the SOS website. “We helped close the gap and make the difference with cable television ads targeting women and seniors.”"
“I want to thank the Secretary of State Project and its thousands of grass roots donors for helping to push my campaign over the top,” Ritchie wrote."
"Along with Ritchie, SOS-supported secretary of state candidates won in Ohio, Iowa, New Mexico and Nevada in 2006. “Dollar for dollar, our model was one of the most effective political investments in the cycle,” Bond wrote."
