The mood at Patti Ruben’s MoveOn house party on the third Sunday in November was cheerier than some might expect. Six years after its inception as an opposition movement to Bill Clinton’s impeachment, MoveOn.org, the vaunted Internet-based political group that, through its 527 and PAC, fought Bush’s re-election with everything from bake sales to homebrew television ads, had convened a nationwide conference of gatherings, networked via Web site, to collectively assess its future. It was not necessarily an auspicious moment: After a spring, summer and fall of energetic fund-raising, mobilizing and lavish media attention that supposedly had right-wingers quaking in their Nikes, the fearsome MoveOn, like so many newer organizations rising from the Bush-hating masses, had seemed to wither in the face of a perceived referendum on the liberal way of life. But not everyone was buying the mandate: "If a few thousand votes had gone the other way in Ohio," MoveOn executive director Eli Pariser told the house parties’ participants during the Web cast, "the media would all be talking about how brilliant our efforts were."

1. Democratic Party Nationwide Ran "An Amazing-Ballot Security Operation"!?!?

"I don’t think I’ll ever run another campaign without going to court to get an impoundment order before Election Day," Rosen declares. He claims that the DEMOCRATIC PARTY NATIONWIDE RAN WHAT HE CALLS "AN AMAZING BALLOT-SECURITY OPERATION" whose results have only begun to trickle in, and WHEN THEIR FINDINGS ARE REVEALED, THEY WON'T NEED COMPLEX SPREADSHEETS or shady stories of foreign financiers.
