Mr. Small ..... Mr. I'll put the democratic voter registrations in a dumpster Guy ......
worked for this guy, Nathan Sproul. (think Ohio 2004)
and guess who has the same mailing address as Mr. Sproul?
As sharp-eyed BRAD BLOG commenter "Citizen92" noticed in those newly released documents, the "Key takeaway from this is that Strategic Allied Consulting has a business address of 45 North Hill Drive, Suite 100, Warrenton, VA."
"Who else has a business address at 45 North Hill Drive?," Citizen92 asked rhetorically, "American Crossroads, Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie's 527 group."

(70,552 posts)Not only is this the right and legal thing to do but it would tie up Rove for the
rest of the campaign.
But I have no doubt that Rove still has people inside the DoJ.

(70,552 posts)..... they dressed up as "America Coming Together" people but
called themselves "Move America Forward" and registered voters
but if you were black or a student or a Democrat when you went to
vote @ your precinct you found that you were not listed as a registered
voter. During the 2004 Ohio recount Sproul and associates were paid
millions for their "help" during the recount which was as dirty as the
election.
The idea that the Romney and the Republicans do not or did not know
what they were getting when they hired Sproul is laughable.

(3,186 posts)Sproul, the young lady registering Romney voters in Colorado, now this guy.
How many more does there have to be before a major, nationwide investigation of the Republican party begins?
Is this going to be like all of the other Republican corruption scandals where bit players take the fall, or will somebody actually do their job, rather than turn a blind eye to the bigger picture?
