Arkansas Didn't Mean To Go Unanimous For Obama

According to Rebecca Gwatney from the Arkansas delegation, the last line of the state's roll call speech was cut off by the Secretary. Instead of casting all 47 votes for Barack Obama, they only meant to cast 37, with 8 votes for Hillary Clinton. (Two of the state's 47 delegates were absent.) When the chair announced all 47 votes for Obama, many delegates from other states rose to cheer the state for their unanimous statement, which now appears to have only been a clerical mistake.

"It's no big deal," one Arkansas delegate told the Huffington Post.

I know what you mean, there was O hovering above the crowd on a griffin using Zeus's ring to hurl a lighting bolts a dissenters. When will people wake up and see the trewff.

That doesn't sound accidental to me.

That's what I thought I heard too. But after reading this article... I thought I must have mis-heard or something. Thanks Twin for clearing that up!

"It's no big deal,"

Of course not because Obama will be the nominee and it all end in less than one hour from now.

Is that why Illinois passed?

[ApolloniaCreed]

No. they probably passed so they can be the state to put him over the top...

[VcKrc]

California passed too, what's that all about?

[dkuz09]

Can anyone explain why California and Illinois passed? Do they not want their votes counted at all, or are they waiting for something? I'm not familiar with this whole roll-call thing.

[VOTER]

Illinois will likely be the state to bring Obama the NOMINATION.

It is his home state.
