Now that a Dem triad of Exec-House-Senate is pending this guy recommends that the outgoing Republicans torpedo the next administration by launching a series of probes. The idea being that Obama couldn't cancel them in January for political reasons. And the probes - such as voter fraud - would be more damaging to Dems than Reps. What an awful idea. It would poison every department involved and all the remaining Republican congress members could be written off in the future as mean and adversarial.

The outgoing Republicans should be following Bush's lead (this being one of the few times following Bush's lead is a good idea). Prepare for the transition by giving the next set of hands a plan for what you would have done, BUT let them take credit for it. Unfortunately Bush has a strong motivation to do this because he can't be reelected but the Reps in congress have a strong incentive to not do this because their best bet of being re-elected is to have the Dem congress fail.

Did I mention a ballot initiative in my ward was to have the state reps chosen by lottery? I voted yes. Robbed of the re-election motive Politics would be a cleaner game; we'd only be left with corruption, stupidity, and vice.
