Here's what will happen if Obama tries to talk about "delegates" and "voting irregularities"
Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 08:40 PM by Proud2BAmurkin
Real voters don't care about "delegates."

What's more, the MSM won't have any patience for it either. Something happened in NH with the MSM. Clinton picked up a huge amount of cred with the MSM as a campaigner. They learned not to "underestimate" and I heard just about all of them say it.


What that means is they perceive Clinton as the "winner" right now and if they hear Obama resorting to cutesy "delegate" BS it will piss them off. Some of them might report the cutesy BS but they will do it rolling their eyes.

As for the voters out there, when they hear "delegate" BS and whines about "voter irregularities" especially when they are seeing such a strong racial division, they will be pissed off at Obama too.

The Clintons can mend racial fences if they need to after the primary but Obama won't be able to mend his dignity if he becomes known as a "mean" ("likable enough") sore loserman.

You're welcome for my concern.

1. Our electoral system is broken
and none or scarcely few of our reps care to fix it.

It's totally pathetic.

2. So election fraud is just a nuisance issue.
You and Kerry. I bet you like him a lot. If I vote, I want my vote to be counted accurately. And if I register properly, I want to be permitted to vote.

3. Actually, the media loves drama. Obama just cant get stuck sounding like sore loser.
But being honest about dirty tricks is vital.
