The Gals at WVWV Do It Yet Again

The jackbooted feminists at Women's Voice Women's Vote have done it yet again: Another mass mailing after the voter registration deadline in yet another state that sews confusion.

This latest incident in West Virginia, coming as it does after the advocacy group was called out in North Carolina for its overt voter suprression efforts, raises a really big question:

Are the people running this campaign just a bunch of dumb clucks? Or are they sly foxes who treat their targets like dumb clucks?

I would have to go with the latter view given the pedigrees of WVWV president Page Gardner and her staff.

Now there is no hard evidence that Page and her pals are turning dirty tricks at the behest of the Hillary Clinton campaign although the advocacy group is chockablock with Clintonistas. (There also are some Obama supporters.) It's just in state after state the group seems to target voters in areas more likely to go for Obama.

John Podesta, a WVWVboard member and former Clinton White House chief of staff, described what happened in North Carolina as "a mistake of judgment and execution, and not an attempt to disenfranchise voters." The stock response to complaints in that state and at least eight others from Gardner, who worked for the 1992 Bill Clinton campaign, has been to apologize for the "confusion."

It was the Facing South blog that broke the story and has ridden it aggressively, while the mainstream media has paid scant attention.

That is unfortunate because a bunch of wee bloggers are not going to force Gardner to resign, and she clearly needs to be shown the door after her obfuscations, including her responses -- and telling non-responses -- in this interview.
