On FOX tonight, Bob Beckel told a story from his campaign days. On election night, the city of Gary had not called in any vote totals. He called the mayor and said “Mr. Mayor, when are you going to call in your numbers?”

The mayor responded, “As soon as you tell me how many votes you need.”

I have no trouble whatsoever believing this story.

See my post, # 40,above. I thought I may have misinterpreted Beckel. He basically related a story of a federal crime committed by a corrupt democratic mayor and he was absolutely nonchalant about it.

Beckel's attitude about voter fraud and criminal conduct was very revealing and is common among democrats. They shrug it off like it is no big deal.

The mayor responded, “As soon as you tell me how many votes you need.”...exactly what Mayor Daly of Chicago said in 1960 after all the downstate Illinois vote had come in giving Nixon a lead which would have given him the state and the election - new generation, same old 'rats......
