Reply #45: It seems she's not attuned to the "attack the messenger" culture.

I've not weighed in on this soap opera, and I'll continue to desist ... except to say: the PTB, the media, and the political right continue to succeed in shifting the discussion from the message (fraud-prone balloting) to the messenger (Bev, in this case). I get the impression that Bev has not, like most others have not, been able to mute the personal attacks and plague of disinformation - and has let it detrimentally affect her demeanor. I really don't know who wouldn't.

I tire of the "People Magazine" culture. The fact remains that the Trojan Horse of technology has been brought inside walls of our democracy. As long as people focus on personalities instead of issues, we've lost.
