Obama being Accused of CHEATING ??

Obama has cheated his way through the caucuses? Perhaps.

I wanted to post here a 'bulletin' from a 'friend' at my 'myspace':

"I'm compiling a series of news reports that back this up.
Isn't it strange that in most of the caucuses, where Hillary Clinton was leading in the polls up until election day by healthy margins, she's beaten by Barack Obama by 5-10 points? Interesting, isn't it?
The media, whom have fallen in love with the half-term Senator from Illinois, chalk this up to a superior ground game. However, I find it interesting that there are several discrepancies that indicate that Obama has cheated his way through the caucus system.
Caucuses tend toward Obama, but primaries tend toward Hillary, Has anyone wondered why this is? How could one "impartial" system favor one candidate over the other, and vice-versa?
I believe I have the answer to that question.

It started in Scranton, with a friend of a friend of mine, Roger. Roger worked the Scranton office for the Obama campaign. During the parade on Saint Patrick's Day Weekend, he wanted a clean, friendly approach to the people of Northeast Pennsylvania. Instead, some folks, whom only identified themselves as "working for the Obama campaign" swooped in, usurped him, and took over, instructing supporters to "get in the face" of Clinton supporters, to "intimidate, insult, and keep them from the polls at all costs.
The actions of Obama supporters in Scranton were reported on by the local Tom Corbett radio show.
Roger found this interesting, and started asking questions from the higher ups from the Obama campaign. His claims were dismissed, and those that came in, despite carrying official recognition, were denied ever having been there in the first place.
I spoke to someone this weekend -- let's just say, he's extremely knowledgeable about this presidential race -- that found it funny that, in the state of Wisconsin for example, Hillary gets more votes than all of the Republicans on the opposing ticket combined, but is still beat by Barack Obama.
He found it funny that, when the numbers are crunched, Obama gets more caucus votes than there are registered Democrats in the state.
He found it funny that it was reported that similar or identical names were provided on registration rolls in eight Obama-won states, over, and over, and over again, and always in separate precincts.
He found it interesting that Obama got his usual "surge" of roughly 800 voters in each caucus he has won.
Reports of money missing from the Obama campaign, the same amount before each primary, are attributed to "bus trips". That, I agree with.
However, there is an answer, and as I said, I'm 50% done with compiling the necessary information needed to go to the press with it:
Barack Obama has been shipping people in to each primary: Not to campaign, not to surrogate, not to organize campaign offices, not to phone bank, and not to canvass.
But to vote.
The same people have been voting in each caucus in each state. Busses. 20 of them. With roughly, 40 people each. What's 40 x 20= 800.

The same thing was tried in Scranton, with voters from (most likely Philadelphia) other areas trying to register to vote in Northeast Pennsylvania. They're voting more than once, and quite literally, cheating Democrats out of their choice for the primary contest.
Don't get me wrong here, I know how this probably sounds: I'm always the one to call conspiracy theorists for what they are: nut jobs. I'm the practical one. I never, in my wildest dreams, thought that this could occur today.

Pennsylvania has very strict voting registration laws, and for this very reason, which is why Obama has generally ignored the state, so he can chalk this up to "oh, the Hillary victory was expected." But in states with very lax voting laws -- the very states he's won so far -- he's succeeded in wide margins where Clinton led only hours before.
Folks, the math just doesn't add up.

I'll finish my report, and I'll submit it to local and state press. The empirical evidence is there, and I'm positive there are those that will come to me and say how crazy all of this is. I only ask them to examine the election results I've seen so far, voter registration amounts, and then to add the numbers themselves.
Math is absolute. When you crunch numbers, you get what you get. Obama's numbers simply don't add up."

FIRST HAND ACCOUNT:::

I can verify first hand, as I was there in Texas, of rampant voter fraud by the Obama campaign. There were so many illegal acts committed it is hard to list them all, but I will try. I have sent my report into Hillary's legal team, as well as Howard Dean, who does not seem to be interested. I learned there is absolutely nothing Democratic about a caucus.

Anyway, I was a volunteer in Houston, and even during the day we were running from precinct to precinct trying to put a stop to the cheating. Groups of Obama supporters were traveling to precincts trying to get voters to sign up on caucus sheets even before the caucus, so they could be slipped into the pile at the caucus. We dispatched volunteer attorneys and others to try and stop this wherever it was reported

It would be wonderful if all this gets to the press and soon. In Indiana Obama supporters have started the Indiana Truth Squad to make sure no one debunks Obama.

I heard this kind of thing from before Iowa. Somebody on a Hillary blog said she had a friend in Iowa who said Obama was busing in 800-1,000 people from Chicago to caucus in Iowa.

Also, I've long heard these stories about intimidation by Obama supporters to turn Hillary supporters away. When Bill Clinton reported this in Nevada, nobody believed him.

It is most certain that voter fraud is happening at Caucuses. Caucuses are not government-run elections. They are run by party hacks who know how to use the 'rules' to their advantage. Basically, anyone who comes to a caucus and looks of voting age can vote. Voter registration rolls are nonexistent, counting of votes is done by participants and stuffing of ballots is quite possible.

Last night I took a walk around my neighborhood, around 8pm. Everywhere I saw lights on -- in stores, shops, restaurants, bars. Lights on at night means people are working in those stores, shops, restaurants and bars. People are driving taxi cabs, buses, subways. People clean your office after you get off from work. People work in the hospitals. You see them when you go visit a friend in the hospital when you get off from work. People work in the theatres. They take your ticket stub and sell you popcorn after you get off from work. None of these people--bartenders, bus drivers, nurses, cashiers, cleaning staff--none of them can vote in a caucus between 7-9 pm because they are working.
