I like the way you put that. Too much going on for something not to be going on. I think that is what I am feeling. Just if someone could scratch that itch on my poor brain, and tell me how and why everything was on the up and up. . . .

I think everyone else is in bed. And darn it, I can’t answer your question except to say that a lot of us thought that there was way too much going on for something not to be going on. But voter fraud has been around since before my day and I’m getting older.

Hey Cameron, and everyone else.
About voting fraud;
I am very sad by the prospect. I can’t quite express my sadness. However, I am not sure it has really been an issue. I just wish that those in the know would address our concerns.

I am still stuck on the California primaries. 1. how the exit polls disagreed SO MUCH with the tally. 2. How the returns showed Romney down 20% with 35% returns in, and then the final results showed him ‘only’ down by 8. If someone could just explain this to me I would feel so much better. Since nobody on this site has said to me, “Yea Cave, that seems impossible!” or “yea that is hard to believe!” I am the only one here sweating it. Maybe you all can give some plausible explanations. Please! I am nuts about it!

Something I haven’t heard talked about is how the commitment from Super Delegates might be reinforced for Clinton after tonights results.

This could create a cycle of momentum for her:
Super delegates firm up her –> the people see this as momentum –> the people support her more –>the super delegates feel more comfortable supporting her. (You know momentum is a pitiful replacement for thought but it is a reality)

I see “Change” a commin.

BTW did anyone notice what percentage of returns were in before they called it for Clinton in Ohio? I am Very curious.

I think that is the best news this election cycle. I can live with Hillary but I think if Obama wins, I may have to plug my nose and root for McCain. It will be a tough call in that case.
Go Hill-Billy!

Hillary took both Ohio and Texas. I agree that you can never count out a Clinton. Their resources run deep in many ways. Strange days.

Huckabee is out

IRVING, Texas – Mike Huckabee bowed to reality Tuesday and out of the Republican presidential race. “We kept the faith,” he told his end-of-the-road rally Tuesday after John McCain clinched the nomination. “I’d rather lose an election than lose the principles that got me into politics in the first place.”

The genial conservative went out as he had campaigned all along, with a quip: “It’s time for us to hit the reset button.”

Huckabee won the leadoff Iowa caucuses, making him a sudden but short-lived sensation, and then seven other states: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, West Virginia, Louisiana and Kansas. Meantime, McCain piled up big victories on his way to winning the prize on Tuesday night.

The writing was on the wall for weeks, but the former Arkansas governor hung on until McCain secured the necessary delegates.

Now it is 50% Clinton to 48 in Texas. I also read about voting irregularities in Ohio. You guys have me all paranoid about voting fraud now.
