The people I met whom the Romney campaign sent into Northern Virginia from Boston were kids. They’d admit that they didn’t know the area. But the Romney door knocking volunteers were pretty determined. And the only guy I’d seen around the area registering Obama voters was sitting at a table across the street from Whole Foods. The Obama GOTV didn’t make an impression on me AT ALL until I showed up to poll watch on election day.
My experience was echoed by other poll watchers who called WMAL, a major DC radio station. They saw people who could not state their own address being “helped” by the poll workers. Is it 1234 Elm Street? They too believed people were being bussed in. They were registered or gave names of those who were registered.
In VA, we have to report it to the state board of elections, which will decide whether it wants to ask the AG to investigate. He can’t do it on his own initiative. I’m going to report my experience.
Though your questions don’t really apply to the dart I threw at you, I’ll answer ‘em anyway...
Question #1: No, but interesting that you point out my FR sign-up date under this callsign, as if seniority here means anything. As a military retiree, I was previously a little too busy down-range nuking gay whales for Jesus to bother with FR... but even as a non-registered FReeper creeper, I don’t recall having read any of your sage political campaign advice here BEFORE the election. You’re still avoiding my point that you’re just Monday morning quarterbacking...
Question #2: See above and previous post.
Question #3: See above/previous post.
Question #4: ditto.
As to welcome to FR... Meh. Too little, too late by all of us here to stop the Commie train this time around, if not forever...
I was glad to see that even Mr. Robinson came around and saw that the lesser of two evils really was the lesser of two evils:

God help us, especially since 6 Nov 2012, to remain a free republic...
Wishing you and all here at FR a Merry Christmas.
