Is it possible that the election was a Fix last night?

[Greenwood]

I am not saying it happened but it looks very suspicious.

[MethuenProgressive]

1. Yes, the only way Obama ended up with that many votes had to be he cheated.

What?

[LostinVA]

3. This made me laugh!

Did you see my thread on here?

[elixir]

13. Zomby had the whole thing wrong, he didn't include undecideds which comprised a large %

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. Zogby=Zomby

I am so glad it's catching on...

[LostinVA]

2. Just get over and go play somehwhere else

Obama won Iowa. HRC won NH. That's it.

[ccpup]

4. nope

she won it fair and square according to the Exit Polls. The women -- who had abandoned her in Iowa -- voted for her in droves and the under 30 vote -- key to both Obama's win in Iowa and his surge in the post-Iowa Polls -- didn't show up in the large numbers they thought they would.

5. This thread showed up quicker than I expected.

:rofl:

[cali]

6. no.

She won. Live with it. And check out the exit polls.

[goldcanyonaz]

7. No, the voters decided the want a President, not a Messiah.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

8. I don't think so

I think her campaign underestimated Obama's strength though

[ecstatic]

9. Clinton was always predicted to win NH

Obama's win in Iowa was shocking. The polls did shift briefly in his favor, but probably including a lot of unreliable voters also. Why is everyone acting to shocked at Clinton's victory?

[Greenwood]

10. Same reason we were shocked with Bush's "victory"....

No one was saying it was foolish to say Bush stole the elction?

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. Bush won in 2004

2000 wasn't "fixed" by voting machines but by process.

[alcibiades_mystery]

11. No, goddamnit

For fuck's sake. They aren't fixed. Sometimes, you just FUCKING LOSE ELECTIONS.

[flpoljunkie]

14. No. Let's move on!

[boston bean]

15. Again, hate to say it, but FOX News Exit Polling called it for Hillary 39-37. nt

[calico1]

16. Yes!

I hear Karl Rove is working for her now!


:P

[TechBear_Seattle]

17. Primaries are much easier to fix than caucuses

I'm not levelling accusations, just pointing out the obvious. :hi:

[ShortnFiery]

18. I watched the results like a hawk: All precints were homogeneously reporting to keep HRC 2-3 pts up

THAT, in and of itself, I find *interesting.* :shrug:

[goldcanyonaz]

21. Caucuses are easier to bully others into switching sides. You can vote your heart in a primary.

[TechBear_Seattle]

23. But will that vote be accurately reported?

Yes, you can be bullied in a caucus. But the actual results are relatively transparent, as the entire caucus process is open to the public. Even without consideration of blackbox voting machines, actual elections are not open to that kind of scrutiny.

19. This is bullshit - please read Skinner's thread about the so-call "fix"

25. Here, this helps.....

[BigDDem]

22. Is it possible I'm out of tin foil?

[RichGirl]

24. This is beyong ridiculous.

Understand...the youth loves big crowds and excitement, but not standing in long lines. Obama can't put all his hope on them unless he can change the voting system and we all vote on our cell phones.

Last night they held out hope because the college towns hadn't come in. Obama had been there that very day and got huge crowds. I would be very interested in knowing how many in that huge crowd is actually registered to vote.

[fishwax]

26. it wasn't fixed n/t
