Republican Dirty Tricks Come into the Twenty-first Century

Salon is reporting on one dirty trick used by the Republicans in the recent mid-term campaign.  By posting a flattering photo of a Democratic candidate, and using Google ads to place web sites at the top of Google searches, Republicans were able to solicit and gain donations to help defeat the Democratic candidate.

What happened last Tuesday can hardly be called a legitimate election with low voter turn-out, huge sums of Republican money, negative advertising -- and Republican dirty tricks.  Salon is also beginning to address the issue of legitimacy.  On their web site you will find an article on the subject.  I'll try to post the direct link later.

Why Salon calls this "minor" is beyond me, but there is the otherwise excellent article:
