Here is the latest installment of the state Republican convention soap opera, Days of Our Hacks. The convention delegates nominated Establishment candidate, Charlie Baker. I have mentioned him here. Well, the delegates might think they nominated Baker because the Tea Party candidate Mark Fisher had only gotten 14.765%, not the 15% required to get his name on the ballot for the September primary. But as I heard yesterday on the Howie Carr Show, it seems that Tea Partier Fisher alleges election shenanigans and has filed a lawsuit in Superior Court against the state Republican Party and is challenging their official convention vote count. (Oh no, not another “hanging chads” all over again!)

Is Charlie Baker taking after Willard Romney? Baker’s campaign already has enough problems in these elections. He’s Charlie Baker. He’s a Republican in Massachusetts.

So Tea Partier Mark Fisher stated on the radio yesterday that he actually did get the required 15% of the delegate votes. Fisher challenges the Party apparatchiks’ decision to count “blank” votes and wants to know why more blanks were counted after the roll call when the scamsters went into their treasured smoke-filled rooms. He complains that the cigar-chompers were blocking his every challenge throughout the roll call votes. Supposedly, based on the roll call itself before the alleged “changes” took place, Fisher contends that he had received 15.16% of the delegates’ votes. On his Facebook page, Fisher posted a YouTube video of the actual vote counting roll call at the convention. Fisher also claimed that some of his votes were later counted as “Baker” votes, and he mentioned that such claims by delegates were made “under oath.”

Now, I’m not promoting Fisher’s candidacy, as I just like to see as many candidates as possible take each other to court with as many lawsuits as possible, and ordering more vote counting and recounting, and candidates arguing and ripping each other to pieces, it’s just very entertaining. Because in the end it doesn’t matter. Democracy is the God that failed, after all.

The Republican nominee will probably face the presumed Democrat nominee Martha Coakley, the one who in a previous campaign stood by and watched as her campaign flunky pushed and knocked over a reporter. But, in Hackachusetts the campaigns for State power merely reflect what the State is all about: cheating, stealing, and pushing others around.
