Nevada Fallout: Obama Camp Wants Review Of Alleged Vote Suppression

NBC:

"In a sign of just how fractious the Democratic race has become, the Obama campaign said it will ask the Nevada Democratic Party to review reports that Clinton caucus organizers had sought to block entry to certain caucus sites a half-hour before they closed. But the campaign said it is not contesting Clinton's victory and wants only to prevent such confusion in future caucuses."

So what's behind the Obama folks pushing this issue of intimidation in Nevada? Could it be about sending a message to black voters in S.C. that the Clintons were behind suppressing vote?

I hope this is thoroughly investigated by the Nevada Dem Party and the DNC. If the Republicans tried these shenanigans in November, you can bet the entire Democratic Party would be screaming bloody murder. Quite a few Dems are still upset at Kerry for not challenging the shenanigans in Ohio in 2004. When you feel the partisan urge to scream "sore loser" remember Kerry, Ohio and 2004. Think about the Bush fliers that warned Latinos that they could be deported if they try to vote. Think what you would do if and when the Republicans try to do this kind of stuff on November 4th.

The way Barack Obama is getting upset over his loss in Nevada, his camp may need a stand by ambulance to rush him to the nearest hospital in case of heart attack if Hillary Clinton beats him in South Carolina.
He is showing that he is such a bad loser and not a good manager of crisis.

Lest we forget the eligible African American Democratic voters in South Carolina are roughly 49% and not all of them will vote en-masse for Barack Obama.

The White American voters, Hispanics, and others may cast more votes for Hillary Clinton.

Obama should be voted for on merit and not on his color.

The fact is Senator Barack Obama was never raised as an African American, because his White American mother brought him up as a single mother in the absence of his African father who was not an African American and who was not an American citizen. Therefore, he cannot fully share the African American experience in flesh and blood and spirit.
He was not brought up in the African American community.

He is more bi-racial American than an African American and he is only what I term, a "political African American".

What voter suppression? Over 100,000 people voted in the democratic caucus. That's 10 times the total of 2004.

Could it be that the Obama Camp isn't a bunch of pushovers like our last Nominees and candidates!? Shocking! Unacceptable! Our candidates are supposed to -accept- voter suppression as inevitable! Or, you know, conduct voter suppression itself.

Sick.
