CNN is trying really hard to cast doubt on Lake county results...
They keep saying that there are questions on the results... that the Clinton camp is going to ask questions... Do they honestly believe that the ENTIRE county including Hillary areas... are all somehow in the tank for Obama...



CNN earlier started talking about 2290 delegats needed for the nomination right after Lenny Davis said that it was "the NEW number."

Why don't they just endorse her already?

17. But that doesn't explain why
they didn't report the election day votes as they came in. And why should Lake Cty. be over 6+ hours behind everyone else? Other counties have absentee votes, too.

3. I hate CNN, but the more they can keep the competition
between Hillary and Obama alive, the more viewers they get.

It's also easier to pick on Dems than Repubs. I don't think they want to have to criticize McCain.

4. I think that the pundits were looking forward to an all-expense paid
trip to Puerto Rico in June.

6. CNN was going for Hillary
Their horse has lost so they get less access now in the Obama presidency.

8. CNN Reverend Wright has been Rev Wright shilling for Hillary Rev Wright for weeks
The Clinton Noise Network has zero credibility in this race. They are so committed to Hillary it's embarrassing.

12. Fox did cast some doubts on Lake County
Bob Beckle basically accused the mayor of rigging the vote.

15. To save themselves from being shown as overeager
Didn't they make that first (way too) early call for Clinton?

16. Where was that concern in NH??
Remeber.. all of the polls showed him up by 10%... but I don't recall CNN thinking that Obama votes were mis counted there.

It amuses me to see Clinton supporters really think that CNN is "against" her. The corporate media realizes that Clinton is there only democratic shot.. Obama will not pander to their interests.

19. what are the age demographics there?
msnbc said that Obama had a majority for every age breakdown before it hit 54. So if the county also has more younger voters, that would indicate it would go for Obama.

and it's not just Lake Co. it's also Monroe Co. - IU - and Notre Dame - whose county I forget.

20. Hammon mayor says reported by 7:30.
Says Clinton won Hammond by 500+ votes. But the county hasn't reported any of them to the media yet. That's odd.

24. Especially since
this county could be the deal-breaker for Indiana & thereby, the entire primary. The delay is suspicious because it gives people time to rig the election results. The whole rest of the state is in now, so they know exactly how many votes Obama needs to overtake Clinton's lead & take the state. Not that that's happening here, but the inexplicable delay does at least raise questions.It's STILL stuck at 28%. That's fishy.

25. 500? Thats all...
there are 80,000 people in Hammond and it is a "white working class" city, so this is pretty good for Obama, right?

26. I have no idea
John King said that Hammond was expected to go for Obama, like Gary, because it's industrial & on the border with Chicago. I'd say, if Clinton won Hammond, then that definitely means she did well in the southern part of the county. Yet those votes aren't being released - just Gary.
