BREAKING: Electoral College Dirty Tricks Finished. Lack of Funds, Support Blamed

[courtesy of The California Majority Report]

The Los Angeles Times has learned that the electoral college "reform" funded by out of state Republican donors has been dropped due to a lack of cash and support. Says the Times:

"In an exclusive report to appear on this website late tonight and in Friday's print editions, The Times' Dan Morain reports that the proposal to change the winner-take-all electoral vote allocation to one by congressional
district is virtually dead with the resignation of key supporters, internal disputes and a lack of funds.

The reality is hundreds of thousands of signatures must be gathered by the end of November to get the measure on the June 2008 ballot.""

Thank you everyone who worked on defeating this initiative. Our (likely) success here is a good example of the Party and the grassroots working together effectively. Our early action allows our donors to invest their money in critical campaigns and not for a costly and unnecessary initiative battle.
