As much as I despise CFR, this doesn't even come close to being predictable -- for the simple reason that we've always assumed that a presidential candidate wouldn't dare engage in massive fraud in plain sight. So now it's happened, and it's the same technique that ACORN uses -- flood the zone with paperwork (in ACORN's case, thousands of new registrations dumped on state/country voter registrars at the last minute) and overwhelm the system.
When irregularities emerge, claim that well, you know, it's not intentional fraud, it's just the sheer volume of enthusiastic participation, and it can't be helped. The flaccid FEC doesn't want to touch it if they can't prove that it was done intentionally, which would take hard proof from an Obama insider, and we know that won't happen. Of course the CC processing company is also complicit in suspending "security requirements" -- such as a valid name and address -- but there were probably no laws broken, just extemely questionable ethics, but ethics no longer carry any significance for Obama or the Democratic Party.
In past years, the media would have been the first line of attack on these scams, but not this year: they're fully complicit in looking the other way.
FEC caint do anything...there is no QUORUM...0bambi placed a hold on any new appointments.
