On NH fraud... question (sincere, not leading)
If fraud did indeed occur, wouldn't one of the non-first place candiates ask for a re-count-- or at least bring the discussion forward? If not, why not?

Wouldn't the lower-tier candidates be the first ones to advertise fraud if they thought it had occurred?

Seems to me that if no one else, Kucinich and/or Edwards would have, at the very least made mention of it within the past twenty hours? Have they and I simply missed it?

I would imagine that a person victimized by fraud would be the first person to stand up and say, "Hey!!! Something's fishy here, and it ain't my tuna sandwich..."

But I haven't seen that.


I'm not saying there was, nor was not fraud in this instance. But I am wondering why the personae dramatis have said nothing if it did indeed happen

About to walk out of the office for the evening. Will check back in the a.m.

BTW-- I'll vote for any of the candidates in the general election-- we've got a strong bunch right now and I'm confident that whoever wins the primary will win the White House, too.

1. Look at the response the people who even criticize the process are getting on here today
--and we're the informed ones, who know about all the state and local races that have been affected by the lack of transparency in the process.

3. Did you perhaps notice that the two top candidates got 9 delegates EACH?
In what sad fantasy do Obama's supporters believe they are entitled to more? Aside from their discounting of a woman's right to vote for a woman?

4. I still haven't made up my mind on this matter,
But I'd think they wouldn't speak up for fear of being ridiculed.

5. I cannot believe there was fraud.
However, in Iowa, I believe there was lots of, if not fraud, downright dirty tactics used - both by the MSM and by Republicans in Democratic clothing. I heard it on the news: "Obama was lots of people's second choice, but HIllary was hardly anybody's second choice."

Now, another thing: Why is is "Obama," but "Hillary?" We call her by her first name, but we use his surname? How sexist is that?

8. We call Clinton Hillary
because that's what she calls herself. Her yard signs, backdrops etc. say Hillary. I don't think it's an insult, I believe it's her choice. She uses Hillary to distinguish herself from Bill. There's nothing wrong with it as it is her choice.

9. OK, but I really don't like the hatred I'm hearing here.
I am supporting Hillary Clinton, but I don't hate any of the other candidates. I would vote for any of them if they are chosen the nominee. Why is there so much vitriol?

6. Four and eight years in...
...and with credible evidence, no major player has rung that bell.You never do it within hours and as an Edwards supporter, I don't see much "there" there....there does appear to be an optiscan discrepency that should be checked. But every candidate gets only one credibility.

This is DU. This is no place for logic and reasoning.
