Put NPR reporter Nina Totenberg on the side of Democrats who blame Governor Jeb Bush for the latest Florida election fiasco and not the local Democratic political officials in the two overwhelming Democratic counties Broward and Miami-Dade who, as in 2000, are unable to count the ballots of their voters.
On Inside Washington over the weekend, she asserted:
“Both sides are blaming each other. The Democratic large counties where they have these problems are blaming, and the entire Democratic Party is blaming Governor Bush and he's blaming the county executives. But the fact of the matter is that voting is for a governor what snow removal is for a mayor. And if he couldn't do it last time, he had to do it this time. And he didn't do it and I suspect that he'll be re-elected, but the Democrats are right to sock him with it.”
