In a primary, Kucinich might have spoiled Obama's victory and put Hillary at #1.

[LoZoccolo]

I still like Hillary, but a lot of people who like Kucinich don't, and they should think about Kucinich's role in this primary season when it finally comes down to the vote totals. If Iowa was a primary rather than a caucus, things might have been different.

1. Oh, goody...more nonsense.

Well done.

:thumbsup:

[Lyric]

4. You mean like this nonsense?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3946030

Lotta nonsense going around here tonight.

[LoZoccolo]

7. Nonsense like...

...the fact that Kucinich told people to vote for Obama?

[flvegan]

8. No, he didn't.

Spin like that, go work for Fox.

It was a second choice. Seems others did the same.

Score one for Oasis.

[LoZoccolo]

10. Sure but there were no first choices for him.

He got 0%. And I think he knew that he wouldn't get much because he got 1.3% last time! Or maybe he can tell us which precincts he was certain to get 15% before the caucus.

[flvegan]

12. When a state fucks you, it fucks you.

No debate, a caucus on tv that fucking forgets to mention where your supporters should stand?

Yeah, okay. Score one for Oasis.

[LoZoccolo]

16. I missed that one.

So there was a caucus where they didn't tell Kucinich supporters where they should stand, and none of them bothered to ask? lol

[rucky]

2. C'mon, say it. You know you want to say it.

[LoZoccolo]

3. OK, I'll say it.

EVERYTHING SHOULD TASTE LIKE BACON!

[AlCzervik]

5. omg!!

i just stopped eating meat a week ago and bacon was my favorite thing and now i see there is bacon salt, awesome!

[sandnsea]

9. So, does that really

make everything taste like bacon???

First I have to get my head out of the gutter - and then say I'm serious because we can't eat bacon anymore and turkey bacon doesn't really get it.

[LoZoccolo]

11. I don't know, lol.

Someone just gave me that URL tonight so I wanna try it myself!

[regnaD kciN]

6. Kucinich spoiling Iowa and giving it to Hillary? It MIGHT have happened...

...and Hawkeyes MIGHT fly out my butt!

:eyes:

(I've been wanting to use that line ever since working on the Wayne's World computer game... ;-) )

[Blue-Jay]

13. Nothing you just posted made any sense.

Score one for Oasis, I guess.

[cyclezealot]

14. Does not the DNC award delegates based on percentages

. Edwards , O'Bama will still get their just deserts. A win for Hillary by one percentage point, just awards Hillary , maybe one more delegete. Vote for who you want. Edwards or O'Bama will not get our enthusiatic support of primary vote until they improve their health care positions. Our vote and money will stay with Kucinich.

[Blue-Jay]

15. "O'Bama"? Is he Irish or are you being obtuse?

[sniffa]

17. Nader, Kucinich and Bloomberg walk into a thread

:boring:

[LoZoccolo]

23. You forgot Chavez. n/t

[stimbox]

28. Bloomberg's not running.

But since when do facts have anything to do with LoZoculo's flamebait threads...

[burythehatchet]

18. My aunt could have been born with a dick

but then she'd be my uncle, I suppose.

[LoZoccolo]

20. Well, maybe we'll see the Kucinich spoiler effect in New Hampshire then. n/t

[redqueen]

19. A primary rather than a caucus?

You've gotta be kidding me.

[LoZoccolo]

21. I do not see what is so incredible about my speculation.

Kucinich's votes got subsumed by his inviability and absorbed into totals for other candidates. Kucinich himself instructed them to vote for a specific candidate, Obama.

[redqueen]

22. The incredible thing is that you seem to think they are separate and distinct things.

I'm stunned... really.

[LoZoccolo]

24. Yes, in some sense.

I do not recall gathering in a room and standing in groups, and candidates being eliminated on the basis of inviability here in Illinois however.

[redqueen]

25. Do you not have precinct conventions in Illinois?

I always go back for mine. Hardly anyone does though...

[LordJFT]

26. Sorry Kucinich would not have gotten 9%

and even then you'd have to assume all those votes went to obama in the second round, which certainly would be unlikely from kucinich's independent minded supporters

[Occam Bandage]

27. How? He came in with less than 1% of the vote. That wouldn't make up the gap.

[bullwinkle428]

29. NO! 7 votes out of 555 in my precinct in Johnson (mega-blue) County

as opposed to Obama's 267 votes and Hillary's 112. I don't think he would have done significantly better in the conservative western counties!
