The electors of the Electoral College are all political hacks. They get the job based on party loyalty. No way that they abandon Obama. If technically freed to vote their conscience, they would vote for Obama anyway.

That is the reality of the situation.

My question is simply this: Is Petraeus going to paint a picture of a lawless president who uses mob tactics to topple military careers and get ambassadors killed just to save his own job? If so, how does one shame an Elector into not endorsing that tactic as the way to win the White House?

How do we shame anyone who thinks they can publicly endorse a blackmailer and career ruiner for president?

This is all predecated on Patraeus testifying that Obama was behind it all, or was so incompetent and disengaged that he let others run the White House for him while he played figurehead, and then hid from the consequences until after the election.

The testimony has to be so bad that even Democrats won't be willing to certify the election to such a bastard.

If Petraeus doesn't go there and instead backs up everything that Obama said, then this idea is all washed up.

“The electors ... are all political hacks.” True. But please keep in mind they will all have some moments of fame as members of the last Electoral College. If you think that we'll have elections in 2016, I have a bridge in Brooklyn...
