Denver Post blows TX caucuses story

Here:

Another group plans to air a documentary called "The Audacity of Democracy," which highlights voter confusion during the 2008 Democratic primaries.

Bzzzt! Wrong.

The documentary (trailer here) isn't about "voter confusion" at all.

What it is about -- among other things -- is election fraud in the TX caucuses, perpetrated by the Obama campaign (some of the affidavits here).

Not that there's a story here.

NOTE Again, I think the producers would be smart to present the unadorned interviews with the TX caucus people, and get rid of the filler and fluff. This is a justice issue.

WAY more than caucuses

Voter confusion was the result of not the cause of the TX caucus debacle. There is much more to the story that caucuses though. It's about what happened to the blogosphere and the country at large. It is about marketing, religion and selling out as well as the skullduggery to engineer Obama's "win" in the primaries and caucuses.

But anyone who sees the trailer will know that the Post is full of it.

BTW, if anyone is interested in helping the movie get made, they can make a donation at PUMAPac . This is not a PUMA movie. We're just helping it get made. The filmakers are independents who find the whole 2008 election cycle very interesting for a myriad of reasons.

I say again, again, again

Cut all the crap out of the documentary.

The interviews are pure gold. That's the stuff, straight up. Anything else dulls the knife edge.

The dancing kid: Cut. It's as if there were clips of Florida beach, er, female rabbits interspersed with a documentary on Bush v. Gore, which really is what's going on here. Anything snarky about Obama, cut. Anything that can twisted into "bitter," cut. Etc. etc. etc.

The only thing you need is an explanation of "Why are packets important" and you're good to go. People aren't stupid. They'll get it immediately.

dancing kid

the dancing kid a a loser, it will just repell. The interviews and documentation of intimidation is what will work. Especially follow up any legal action that was taken.

Next year is the gubenatorial election in Texas, I will be interested to see how the fall out of this plays out in the Texas gubenatorial nomination.

Brad had one day to cut 40 hours of footage into

a fundraising piece for Murphy. it was supposed to be three minutes long but telling a story in three minutes when you only have hours to do it is tough. We put it up on YouTube because he wanted to experiment with doing high resolution uploads and that's what he had handy. We told Darragh we'd take it down immediately if she preferred but that we only thought we'd get 15 or 20 views in the next couple days. then it started taking off - much to our astonishment. We hadn't announced it anywhere.

Brad uploaded it at 2am on Saturday morning. Around noon, I was looking at it and was astonished to see that we had 59 views. I refreshed thinking my eyes were deceiving and we had 69 views. Stunned, I refreshed again and we were up to 79. There is clearly an audience for this. Six days later and we're up over 18k in views. CNN showed a clip on their story today about disaffected Clinton supporters.

Lambert - yes, you will get straight up interviews. This is a very, very rough cut and it's astonishing the amount of attention it has received. Brad doesn't want anyone thinking this is his idea of a polished piece. Please watch The Watermelon trailer for an example of real editing. :)

Now, I have to go read this story. I had no idea this was out there.

I'm not being critical... Well, I am...

but I hope in a constructive way. Anything that detracts from the TX interviews is bad, IMNSHO. These are ordinary folks who know the process ...

Again, this is a justice issue, way beyond candidates or party. After FL 2000, and OH 2004, this is happening in our house? WTF?

The piece will be densely informative for the reasons

you address. But a few hours of cutting into that much footage doesn't give you the time to pull that together That's where the work comes in. We're going to be shooting for several months after the convention, and the finished piece won't be done until next summer or so. In the meantime, we will have a good piece to show in Denver and hopefully, will knock a few socks off in the process.

My position is that Obama's primary campaign is election theft 2.0 - with 1 and 1.5 being 2000 and 2004. If he's the nominee, we're choosing between two Republicans.

Not just our house, my damn backyard, Lambert

and as you may recall, I was one of those tough old broads hanging in way too late Tuesday night to keep it from happening in my own damn precinct.

It's either the money or the corruption. I don't know which.

The county convention here would sour me for life on politics if I remembered it very often; I still have a sore place on my leg from those damn antique unsafe child-size seats. The bruises didn't show for nearly a week, and then it's a good damn thing I wear buckaroo (aka waddie tall-top) boots, 'cause my leg looked like the fireworks in Beijing for nearly a month.

Yeah, blood-blisters suck, especially when they run down your calf sideways.
