Randi talking about how Hillary is instructing her..

[skooooo]

..followers to control the caucus by making sure they are doing the counting, being the secretary and running the caucus. She says they are basically out to cheat. Be aware Obama supporters in Texas!!!

I trust Randi.

[Saturday]

1. I don't. She's a big mouth.

[Yes We Did]

5. I read the exerps myself. She's not lying. I'll see if I can find them.

[LulaMay]

23. I like her alright, but she's biased, as was eident on the Air America cruise. They all are...

and not in touch with the rest of America, especially women.

[cenacle]

36. she's in touch with me...

Randi and Rachel Maddow and Thom Hartmann, David Bender, Sam Seder, I admire them and agree with each of them on many, many issues. They are well-prepared, conduct good interviews with relevant people. I've loved AAR for three years now, no matter the bashing it gets from time to time.

The only person I've heard recently on AAR recently whom I didn't care much for was Rosanne Barr. Found her ideas pretty shallow and uninteresting.

[Major Hogwash]

40. She's in touch with me, too. So is Rachel Maddow.

Two smart women who won't back down.

[OwnedByFerrets]

42. They arent in touch with America because

they dont agree with YOU? Maybe look in a mirror and see who isnt in touch with America.

[NightWatcher]

2. there are more Obama people on the ground in Texas

they know how to run a caucus.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. There was a thread having something to do with this yesterday...

wasn't there? Somebody who was some campaign official caught somebody in the act of doing something dishonest...

[JimGinPA]

6. I Think A TV Station Got Ahold Of A Clinton Memo nt

[babylonsister]

7. Here's a link to what's going on:

14. Here's another one...

Just so they can't come after your source

http://www.americablog.com/2008/03/clinton-campaign-finally-develops.html

[Lucinda]

9. Yes. Hillarys campaign told her people to do what they could to make sure the caucus was fair.

Which is a damn good idea.

[skooooo]

11. doesn't sound like that to me...

Sounds like she's trying to monopolize the process through her supporters.

[Lucinda]

20. I read the info yesterday. It's exactly what she said.

And she did say they should try and lead the caucus. Which is perfectly okiedokie.

[skooooo]

21. ...and count the delegates...and be the secretary...

Yeah, sounds like she's really concerned with a fair caucus.

[Lucinda]

26. You do undertand that Obamas people have been doing the same in the other caucus states right?

It's suddenly a baaaaad thing now that Hillary's finally getting more organized?

[skooooo]

28. Link??

Or are you just talking out of your buttocks?

[Divernan]

34. Link? LINK!!! Clintonistas never need no stinkin link!

Just the fact that they say something makes it so.

[Divernan]

32. Not fair. Clinton told them to demand to take over without being elected

chair. That is a violation of Texas caucus rules.

And in Ohio, Clinton has paid people to picket an Obama office with NAFTA signs.

Field Report
Submitted by Jerid on Tue, 03/04/2008 - 11:24am.
I just got back from a quick drive down the Euclid corrider (Cleveland), around Chester, the midtown area, etc. stopping by polling locations. The biggest thing that struck me is that there's not too much visibility going on in Cleveland. Now given, it's hard to get people to stand in the on/off freezing rain, but still. Not too much going on.

At a polling location on Chester I ran into a couple of people handing out lit about Obama, a little farther down Chester I found two folks holding the big Obama body sized signs. I did not see any Clinton visibility - or really yard signs for that matter - but hey, this region may have been ceded.

Compare that to what I'm hearing is going on in Franklin County (Columbus). The rain didn't hit Columbus proper, so visibility in the center of the state right now is HUGE. Also, I heard last night at one point about 500 people an hour were circulating through the Franklin County BoE (we haven't seen that sort of early vote in Cleveland at all). There were also claims that the Clinton campaign has been paying folks to picket outside the Obama office with NAFTA signs. The source claimed they looked like out of work union types.

[anigbrowl]

27. Fair = 'Hillary wins' in your book

Her campaign is trying to gain control, not ensure a fair result.

[Divernan]

35. That would be the Karl Rove Dirty Tricks Campaign Playbook.

[Rick Myers]

4. Yesterday I saw some excerpts from a document HRC was circulating

Sorry, I don't recall the link, but the text was identical to what Randi is saying.

[Yes We Did]

10. Yes, it's pretty simple; if you are outnumbered, that means you lose.

[fascisthunter]

8. Unless Randi has Proof of such a Thing, I Would Hope She Wouldn't

just spout something like this, especially during a primary. Some times I think Randi can be fast and loose with her words.

[skooooo]

15. plenty of proof of this document

Just open your eyes!

[Yes We Did]

19. yeah, here is another link for you, just in case the first two weren't enough.

http://www.americablog.com/2008/03/clinton-campaign-finally-develops.html

[fascisthunter]

22. before you judge me, can I see some of this "proof"

I am being sincere with you.

[jgraz]

12. Hillary would never try to steal the election

As far as I know.

[skooooo]

17. I take your word that Hillary wouldn't try to steal the election...

:rofl:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

18. LOL. got me.

[Major Hogwash]

13. They're already bickering in Ohio over the voting machines.

Go back to paper!
May be an old fashioned way to do it, but there was a paper trial to verify it later.

[mopinko]

29. i believe they have the option of a paper ballot.

not sure if that is available throughout the state, but i recall reading that.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

16. doesn't she know that this kind of stuff

is PRECISELY why Obama has more delegates? and why people are getting so tired of BushClintonBushClinton?

[JuniperLea]

24. Interesting... because I've heard Randi suggest people do just those things

To make sure their votes are counted.

I call bullshit.

Randi is losing it... so is Stephanie Miller... they don't remember their own words.

[SKKY]

25. How many Caucus' has Clinton won???

Yea, I'm not worried about the Caucus piece of this very confusing pie.

[RiverStone]

30. not allowed!

My understanding through caucus participation is during roll calls, counting of hands, addition, whatever --- there is a representative from both camps at the table at ALL times. One person does not do it; there must be equal representation from both camps even if the vote is very lopsided.

In other words, both camps count the vote.

That was implicit in Washington state caucus rules anyway.

[billyoc]

31. Randi's always on the cutting edge

of the stories from 3 days ago. :eyes:

[starchimes]

33. Well I plan to be at a TX caucus tonight. I will try and report

back tomorrow on what I see. I am not a huge supporter of either candidate (former Edwards supporter). I voted for Hillary this morning. I would rather see things done fairly and if that means she loses, so be it. I am so sick of the games, I just want to see an honest vote count.

[madrchsod]

37. there`s been obama people on the ground weeks before hillary

figured out that she`s going to lose the delegate count in texas

[2rth2pwr]

38. Randi drinking her Ketel Bloody Mary's again? nt

[JackBeck]

39. You've told me all I need to know. n/t

[powergirl]

41. This is true in Texas

I have seen the emails from her campaign. I am an Obama supporter and the instructions that Clinton is giving her supporters is wrong and illegal. Caucus leaders in Texas are determined by a vote of those who attend the the caucus. I think she forgot about that voting part. It's really unfair to her supporters b/c if they act that way, it will cause chaos on the system and make her campaign look bad.
