That is the "primary" where the organizers admitted that, for the online voting, they had no way of determining whether someone voted more than once. The organizers said they simply "trusted" the voter not to vote twice.
No wonder a Chicago Democrat won!

What's happened to Allison Payne? Haven't seen her for quite a while.

Has anyone noticed that BHO is dropping his Rs at the end of his words and highlighting his aahs?--"Whethaah we will vote for change and hope"--(or more fakery) Oprah seems to do this on occasion, too. Also, BHO's wife has been known to throw in a few "ain't" s at convenient times. Bad examples, and cute tries at subliminal pandering. It does nothing for me. I don't want to be hearing negatively contrived speech from Harvard grads for the next four years. GWB continues to be the only one of his siblings (or parents) to speak Texan. Yes. Right. Ugh. Please, no more personal fabrications or BS.

Jack,
Did you want to explain why Obama won the other 10 most recent contests?
Must be fraud, huh.

The great Obama, neophyte extraordinare, has caught lightning in a bottle. In the words of Susan Sarandon in 'Thelma and Louise': "This Thing has just sort of sno-balled".
THIS can only happen in America. Well, maybe France.

Is it me, or does it look like Cindy McCain's face has a permanent smile?
