While even conservative oservers are marveling at the non-liberal appointments to his cabinet, Obama’s pick at DOJ, Eric Holder sneaks a little under the radar. The Holder selection is currently is getting uneven traction due to his troubling involvement in the Marc Rich pardon in the wanning days of Clinton years. Word is that a whispering count is underway in the senate to gauge support and its probable that even some Dem senators might not support Holder.

But while MSM is only writing about Holder’s Marc Rich problem and his puzzling views on firearms, one subject is going unnoticed. Its Holder’s views and previous associations with voting issues.

Prior to the 2004 election, much focus was given to the states of Ohio and Florida as was this year. George Bush won both states that year and retained the White House. Yet it was clear that we were probably seeing the early efforts of ACORN and other quasi groups in both registering voters and making fraudulent votes. It is here where Holder’s past should also be questioned.

In an October 2004 Fox News Sunday broadcast the subject was broached and this NY Sun article is telling of Holder’s partisan views on voting:

“If every vote is allowed to be cast and every vote is counted, John Kerry will be president within a day of that election.”

Really?

Holder hasn’t been taken to task on this one yet. Republicans are pretty sensitive to potential fraud of which Holder’s position clearly indicates he is well, unsensitive to. Holder’s obvious ambivalence to voter fraud that favors a Democrat is enough to disqualify him as Attorney General.

Has it already been forgotten Obama’s involvement with ACORN? Is it in Eric Holder he finds a kindred spirit?

Obama certainly is aware of Holder’s efforts for Democrats in the last election cycle so it might that among the reasonable cabinet appointees Hokder is his stealth candidate – the one he truly needs to carry out some of his true leftist leanings and his attempts to build lasting influence.

The nomination of Hillary Clinton at State has sucked up alll the oxygen this week. Obama’s other choices will require no political capital. Holder certainly will and Obama might be willing to use it here as it is through the Department of Justice where he and his kindred spirits of the left can gain the most.
