Time To MAKE A NOISE --- Message to Barack Obama DO NOT CONCEED 'TIL THE VOTES ARE COUNTED

[althecat]

..... come on ... lets say it loud and clear. I am sick to death of this shit.

:bounce:

[DS1]

1. Nobody is conceding anything

Why would you even think that?

[billbuckhead]

2. Wouldn't that be kind of "sour grapes" to a supposed double digit winner

Obama lost the expectations game badly tonite, get over it. Don't dwell on it.

[althecat]

5. There is no shame in finding out for certain who won this election ---- I DO NOT TRUST DIEBOLD....

Recounting this race would be

1. Possible (for 30%+ of the vote in the next election it will BE IMPOSSIBLE).

If the count is spot on. Great.

A recount will among other things serve as a reminder to those who might be inclined to steal an election that they CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. At the moment - after Ohio - they have every reason to think that they can get away with this sort of thing.

To willfully close your mind to the possibility of vote fraud in the current circumstances is grossly irresponsible - and to be clear - naieve and luddite.

Goodnight.

[Tuesday_Morning]

19. Sour grapes?

that's naive...

Listen - with Diebold counting a high percentage of the votes and a big swing from recent polls, anyone with any sense of recent election history should question this election. I don't care if it's your candidate that won or lost. It's smart to be skeptical of any election with these qualities.

I wanted democracy to win tonight...not a particular candidate.

[yourout]

3. Counted and Audited.

[Dnesh]

4. 3 big college counties not in yet

[althecat]

6. The numbers are out by miles from the polls.... "US Pollsters Fail Again" should be headline...

.. tomorrow.

[7 of 11]

7. What is happening is that the Hilary supporters are out in force

The sat it out and stayed home in Iowa but no more.

Wait till Super-Duper Tuesday and we almost certainly will see who represents our party.
I have nothing against Obama but one thing. WHAT ARE HIS CREDENTIALS? Two years in the Senate and pretty speeches? The Texan for hell has left this nation in pretty bad shape and we cant afford someone with such a weak resume right now. With all the repukes out in fantasy land( like always*sigh*) We need someone with Hillary's connections and strengths to lead us out of the NEOCON dark ages once more.


HOWEVER, I would love to see Obama as VP or SEC-of-State so he can get some experience at world affairs. He would make an awesome President some day

[althecat]

9. Welcome to DU....

Why not count the votes?

Why trust a computer company who we know have lied to us about the security of their voting systems?

[avaistheone1]

16. I am seeing Hillary with more presidential potential

She is one strong woman.

....and I am an Edwards supporter.

[althecat]

8. Does Hillary Clinton's cousin work for Associated Press :)

[RufusTFirefly]

12. Haha. Good one. n/t

[mod mom]

10. There's an excellent activist network there. Watch this:

[1776Forever]

11. Agreed!!!!!!! Me thinks something stinks in N.H.!!!!!

Come on - Exit polls said (like Kerry) that Obama was 4 points ahead!!!!!!

Diebold strikes again????????????:dilemma:

[rodeodance]

13. O. is on cspan 1 now Congratulating Hil.

[KaryninMiami]

14. I am fine with either of them winning but it sure is odd that EVERY POLL was wrong

It's very strange.

[althecat]

15. YES WE CAN!..... Obama doesn't need a recount - All he needs to do is talk!

WOW...

[althecat]

17. Yes that is a concession :) ... be nice to have a recount mind.....

[JMDEM]

18. Obama needs a recount. Sorry... nt.

[marlakay]

20. I wonder how many kids voted?

in the past you could never count on the young ones to actually show up...it will be interesting to see what happened in NH.

21. Secret vote counting in NH Primary - "Scoop" Coverage K*R

In General Discussion - "Scoop" – ALL Diebold, All the Time – It's the NH Primary

Here's something to keep in mind, whichever primary you're looking at. Democracy has been
outsourced to electronic voting firms who provide the machines, service them, and sometimes, as in
NH, count a large portion of the votes. It's time to take democracy back and open up voting and
vote counting for all citizens to see.

Introduction: The more things stay the same, the worse they smell

Washington, D.C.

Tomorrow's New Hampshire primary represents a major turning point in the presidential primaries. We've got the rising star of Obama, the stunned Clinton camp, and the populist efforts of the fast moving Democrat, John Edwards, just off a 9% increase in the national polls. At this juncture, the Republican race is less compelling unless you happen to be John McCain or Mitt Romney.

Does Obama's highly favorable corporate media image stack up against reality? Is this the end of Hillary, or at least the beginning of the end? Can Edwards kick in the door with a strong showing and demand coverage? Will Ron Paul embarrass Giuliani by edging him out for fourth?

We'll never know for sure.
