Veteran GOP consultants David Gilliard and Ed Rollins have teamed up to revive the recently deflated 2008 ballot measure that would change the way California allocates its presidential votes in the Electoral College. Their hope is to have the initiative on the ballot by June and, if passed, to take effect in November's presidential election.
After declaring themselves out of money and short on petition signatures, the movement declared itself dead, at least as far as next years elections are concerned. But the entry of Gilliard and Rollins has apparently revived things.
Gilliard and Rollins are huge players in the Republican Party and could raise the necessary money to get this thing on the ballot. The Democratic Party better be ready to go to war over this and not pussy-foot around like they did in Florida in 2000.
The Republicans see the early polling and know they are likely to lose the White House next year so, as they always do to retain what little power they have, they fuck around and bend laws to benefit their hold on that power.
It reeks of desperation and is about as unpatriotic as you can get.
