It's not about the Clintons or Obama...
Yes, I do think the reelection of the Clintons as a dynasty alternating with the Bushes is the Nightmare Scenario. So what!

Here is what matters about the NH controversy:

1) Manipulable machines should never be counting our votes. All results should be subject to a full hand count.

2) The first question in New Hampshire is whether the machines provided a clean count of the actual votes on paper.

3) If the count wasn't clean, there are several possible explanations, including:

a) A third party (such as the Republicans, or Diebold/Premiere) wished to manipulate the primary results on behalf of a particular narrative for 2008.

b) Glitch in the memory cards.

I think both of those scenarios are far likelier than c), someone on the Clinton side fixed the election. And this although I dislike the Clintons.

2. None of the above, the count comes back clean, proving why we need paper, HR811
gets reintroduced gets passed, and we are still stuck with the secret vote counting machines.


My two cents for what it is worth.

:)
