Those Pesky E-Mails

It seems to me that there are some dots that need to be connected. First, Rove relied heavily on non-governmental e-mail accounts to avoid federal public records requirements. Then, Gov. Palin was found to be using personal e-mail accounts to avoid state public records requirements. Now, Gov. Blunt has been caught using non-governmental e-mail accounts, you quessed it, to avoid state public records requirements. It seems to me that a pattern is being unveiled. How many other Republican Governors may be attempting to circumvent public records acts? Where did they get the idea? It makes me wonder if there are some legal memoranda or RNC training seminar materials floating around that have promoted the idea of setting up shadow e-mail accounts for the purpose of circumventing public records acts on the federal and state level.

As pointed out so far the McCain campaign seems to be willing to flat out lie. The mainstream media is picking up on this, but this point needs to be driven home more forcefully. Something that may be building. Sarah Palin has mobilized the Christian Right who historically were lukewarm about McCain. The Obama campaign needs to refocus attention back on McCain and sow seeds of doubt in the Christian Right about McCain. How about an ad citing the commandment about false witness?
