1. creatively lame? How about just lame?
I don't associate those two qualities together.

10. Of course, you would know all about that...
I always respect someone's opinion of NH people when they're talking to me from Mexico! Are you a former NH native? If not, what gives you the experience to know about NH people?

13. "creatively lame excuse"
I think you missed the criteria :hi:

It is in no way my opinion of New Hampshire or its people. So stop jumping.

22. OK. Try to follow this now...
Edited on Thu Jan-10-08 04:32 PM by zanne
If you live in a certain place, say a state, all of your life, you have a much better idea of what the people are like. If you live across the country from said state, or even in another country, you really don't have any dependable criteria. You've lived in NH for one year. Whoop dee doo. I've lived here for 55 years. All over the state. Therefore, I know that I'm more familiar with the character of the people of NH than than you are. That's right, I said "more than you are". Do you understand now? Don't diss my state. It's one of the best.

3. I didn't see too many Obama supporters making lame excuses.
Most of us took it on the chin. There were a couple who made multiple posts with silly charges, but they were a tiny but vocal minority.

9. I think you're right about that
In very many cases, we've been misidentified, as well. Certainly with the vote fraud issue, which has not been led by Obama supporters.

4. Hillary got out more people on election day.
I think that all the polls showing Obama being 10% above Hillary encouraged some Obama supporters to stay home, thinking that their vote wasn't needed. Politics is a dirty game and whoever wins or loses a state will have some genuine reasons for winning or losing, but also some behind-the-scenes dirty tricks taking place.

5. the Clintons fixed the election
to election Clinton and McCain.

I only wish the Dems controlled the process enough to fix the election.
I don't want them to fix it.
I just want them in control of it

6. Other: Republican operatives distributied free marijuana to College Democrats.
However, we can exploit this model to suppress the rural Republican vote by distributing free crystal meth during the General Elections.

8. I don't think it's fair to blame Obama supporters for that garbage. That was the tinfoil junkies.

12. I agree. Most of the people screaming 'fraud' seem to be the type who think that
Obama is a 'corporatist' candidate.

14. Accusing democrats in New Hampshire of racism that did not vote for Obama is not only lame...
Edited on Thu Jan-10-08 12:39 PM by Maribelle
it is a disgraceful insult to the heritage of the residents of New Hampshire, many of whom are direct descendants of those that actively supported the underground railroad to help slaves escape, that gave their lives fighting the deeply racist southern hypocrites, that devoted much of their free time from their personal lives to wage a political battle for civil rights for women and men of all color and sexual orientation.

Sometimes I cannot believe the gall of Obama supporters, truly. Obama supporters should be spitting in the face of the members of the MSM that are suggesting this egregious situation.

15. Machine Politics Trumped Hope Because of Tightened Schedule
My guess is that the Clintons had the stronger organization for turnout and the constricted schedule didn't allow Obama to fully reduce her numbers to compensate.

And Obama's a drug dealing fairy tale, but all's fair in love and war. Just don't be surprised at a backlash.

18. As for methodology/objectivity, this poll fails with flying colors
I don't claim to be an expert, but I have an MA in Sociology.

I'm sure that as long as something is justifying the lying, you can find lots of credentials to cheerlead it on -- like the blue-ribbon whitewash (bluewash) commission on the Persian Gulf War Syndrome that tried to palm it off as psychosomatic. (Not to mention the bluewash Warren Commission ....)
