addressed to his “colleagues” — all editors and writers for the Left’s leading blogs

The list of recipients is a file called “Nathan Henderson-James”. Presumably that’s a long list of potential donors. The bloggers are on a “CC” list — which means it’s for their information without being addressed to them. It is natural to guess that Henderson-James was hoping for some good blogger press from bloggers who had in the past been sympathetic to ACORN.

The most straightforward way to read this email is very complimentary to ACORN. They are dedicated to their goal of registering new voters.

If MM had any actual dirt on ACORN, she would post it.

Las Cruces is a good place to investigate. 10,000 registrations? And there were problems with ACORN there.

Las Cruces was the place where an entire voting box full of ballots was found in the trunk of a poll worker’s car!

Is it normal to send an email to yourself and BCC: the other recipients? Or is the name on the TO: line actually a distribution list named after the owner?
I’ll bet the latter is the correct answer and the names on that distribution list would raise more than a few eyebrows.

I’ve one it before. Only when I need to send the same not quite “confidnetial” message to numerous specific people on a one time basis and have no need to create a DL.

New Mexico is a swing state in close presidential elections.

2004:
Bush – 376,930
Kerry – 370,942

2008:
Obama – 472,422
McCain – 346,832

Curious numbers…

What would be curious is the actual numbers of registered voters in New Mexico?? Any of the 472+ part of the illegal or cemetary vote???

Interesting how the email states:

“We are now collecting between 40,000 and 50,000 per week, all of which are processed through ourquality contol program, scanned and submitted to election officals within 10 days of completion.”

“…a thourouhg training program for managers, careful national supervision…”

Does this not counter the argument that ACORN has tried to make in the cases against them that it was a few bad apples acting outside their control…after all they said they had “carfeul national supervision”.

IIRC they tried this excuse in Nevada (as well as every other state where they were caught) until their offices were raided. I believe they had a couple of “regional” officials/managers/directors that were being thrown under the bus by their national officials as being out of control.

Yes. MS Outlook (don’t know about others) won’t allow you to send an email just to addresses in the BCC line. If you send it to yourself, all others can be in the BCC line and not know who else received the email.

Why aren’t the Republicans all over this??

Push harder. Pbo is killing all of us and he needs to know we are on to his massive ruses – from his religion to his disdain for all that is good about America.

I think he has no clue that in any other s***bag country, he would just be an illegitimate mulatto with no hope of ever rising out of his destitute station in life. Instead, with forged documents, he has become the most powerful socialist on earth, about to bankrupt – both financially and morally – the greatest nation on earth.

I fly Dimmitt’s Flag at my house, and will proudly proclaim “WOLVERINES” if challenged. Civility is the order of the day, but when it breaks down – as it has with John Yoo – one must be prepared to defend life and property. It is the American way.

Who am I? I am Spartacus. We all must be to get through this.
