The Reps don't seem to be interested in a fair election; it looks to me
that they only want to do whatever they can to sabotage the process,
because they don't like the outcome. Do they even realize that their
behaviour is making them look pathetic?
Don't be naive. Both sides want to win. Both will do anything (hopefully
within some legal limits)to achieve victory. If the results were reversed the
same arguements would have been made by the opposite groups. The dems are
slicker - they have better lawyers - but the reps are more dogged.
