Keep them dogies movin'

Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up

Count 'em out, ride 'em in,
Ride 'em in, count 'em out,
Count 'em out, ride 'em in
Rawhide!

PK's source in DC allerted us to this breaking story out of Ohio: It seems that GOP camp officials who resigned over questions about absentee ballot applications have been sent to work for BC'04 in Ohio, according to an internal GOP memo.

GOP GOTV chair Larry Russell resigned along with five others this week, and the Division of Criminal Invstigation is conducting a probe. SD GOP Chair Randy Frederick said the party had a "zero-tolerance policy," but the GOP memo says they will now "lead the ground operations" in Cleveland for BC'04. SD GOP Exec. Dir. Jason Glodt said he would not comment on the internal communication, but confirmed that it was authentic.

Ex-Univ. of SD prof Alan Clem: "My impression is, there were some young Republicans in the last few years who got a little cocky, upset some people. I supose (Russell) is persona non grata in this state" (Woster/Kranz, Sioux Falls Argus Leader, 10/15)

I'm wondering if some of them were sent down to Toledo where the local Kerry/Edwards office was burglarized and computers with highly sensative data were stolen, ala Watergate.

Looks like Karl Rove has been very busy. He can't rely on the President's brother to deliver all of these other states like he can in Florida. So, the goon squad is getting shuffled from state to state.
