Comments about Hillary Clinton In Pennsylvania:It’s All Too Late “Being here this morning is a gift,“Hillary Clinton says to the small band of supporters,several hundred strong,gathered under the Saturday morning sun at Good Will Fire Company No. 2,Station 52 in West Chester, Pennsylvania.The Senator is late for her first event of the day; her voice is hoarse.But like the day she is bright and calm.Gone are the faux smiles and waves,the slight brittleness,that have been part of her stage entrance so many times on the campaign trail.But it’s too late.

We all know it’s coming, but are unsure just when the media will spring it on us that Obama has ruined his chances for win and the only candidate that should be entrusted to the title of nominee is McHillary.
Remember how the media chewed Dean up and spit him out when they felt compelled to turn once again to the wishes of the well oiled wheels of the corporations.

The electricty? That’s a dead giveaway to the cheat.

So no, Hillary did not win Pennsylvania either, and we’ll probably never know what the real count is.

Good idea on the way to get the National Guard home.
I was thinking we’d need a UN monitor like they’ve had to call out for Zimbabwe elections. (among others).

But then, we’ve needed UN intervention long before this.

The electricity…man oh man…simple shades of Florida 2000, and Ohio 2004, and 9/11 as well.

>I wonder what the actual count was.  Brad Blog has a long list of voter problems from the primary.  Some disturbing “highlights” from the Brad Blog site:

“I was able to cast my vote for Obama after waiting 1 and 1/2 hours. During that time at least 100 voters left without voting…..possibly not to return.

“I immediately called every News channel I could get through to. Persons who answered at the stations informed me that my ward was not the only one with broken machines and ‘Paper ballots (as an alternative) without Obama’s name on it. These provisional ballots did have Hiliary’s [sic] name on them.”
***

“Moskala says they’ve used the voting machines several times in the past and haven’t had any previous problems.

She believes the electricity to the facility may have triggered the outage.

“We did have a problem with the electricity for a minute. It must have gone off and on – and maybe that triggered what the problem ended up being.”
***

“Palmer Township resident Ritann Tosto wants to warn voters to read the fine print beneath the delegate candidates’ names. Tosto, 59, said she assumed the delegates listed beneath Sen. Barack Obama’s name were his supporters, and the delegates beneath Sen. Hillary Clinton’s name were hers.

That’s not the case, she reports after voting at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church.”
***

“they say, “provisional ballots” are only to be handed out if…

Both voting machines in a division break down. If at least one machine is operable, the official policy of the Philadelphia Board of Elections is that voters must use that machine rather than be given a provisional ballot.”
***

“3:54pm ET: Voter-service phone lines jammed across state. From NY Times…”
***

“The most commonly reported problem so far today, accounting for approximately 30% of call volume on the hotline, has been equipment malfunction at the polls. There have also been reports of voter intimidation, rule violations at polling places and registration issues.”

>This fiasco was NO accident.

Hang in there Obama, the people are on your side.  We just may have to bring our National Guard home so we can have a FAIR ELECTION!

Start writing letters folks, make some phone calls.
