Where’s the Outrage: History of Mississippi Primary
AP: “Obama was favored to win in Tuesday’s nominating race in Mississippi, a southern state where blacks-who have carried him to wins previously-make up a majority of the Democratic voters.”
The Field: “Although the overall Mississippi statewide vote is likely to deliver about 58 percent on Tuesday to Obama to 41 for Clinton – a landslide victory with a margin of 17 points – the proportional representation math in Mississippi – given the racial gerrymandering its four congressional districts – works to Clinton’s favor.”
Liberal Journal: “Honestly, I’ve been hit with serious horserace fatigue the past couple of days. But there is a primary tomorrow, and there has been some bogus stuff from the Hillary camp, so here goes.”

Major Political Scandal!!!
Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very fast.
You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care. So they can make more profit for them-self.
Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!
As much as 30% of Obama’s primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.
If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.
The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket now! All democrats need to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton. So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.
Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.
You should be angry America. “This is not a game” (Hillary Clinton)

Why is it that every time Obama wins,it is reported that he was carried through by the ‘black’ vote. No one complains or comments if Hillary wins ‘the white’ vote. Does the ‘colour’ of the vote make it any less of a vote? People should move away from belittling voters who are exercising their democratic right. I think we (the voters) have a little bit more sense than to vote for a person just because of the colour of their skin.
we have two very interesting comments here. The first one says that all Republicans are in bed with the insurance companies. I love that one. I don’t like the insurance companies. Our standard of care has decreased as we took health care out of our hands and started leaving it in the hands of insurance companies. With that said, what makes anyone think it would be any better if the government started making decisions about our health? Or even if that (the worst case scenario) isn’t true, I’ll be shelling out tax dollars so that the government can pay the insurance companies to control my health care. As far as me being afraid that everyone will have affordable health care? That’s bull. I’m afraid of the government having control over every part of my life, thanks.
Then we have the second comment. And I’m sure I’ll get called a racist, but don’t tell me this election isn’t about identity politics. It IS mentioned that Hillary gets a majority of the white vote, especially the poor white vote. Obama gets the majority of the black vote. And while I would love to say that people aren’t voting for him because he’s black,I’ve heard one too many Obama supporters give just that as the reason they are voting for him.
If you think Obama will be President, you are seriously misguided. If it comes down to it, many Democrats will vote for McCain instead of Obama or simply write in Hillary. A lot of us (mostly in Illinois) don’t trust him and he has done nothing for our state. He and his wife have dark ties to Tony Rezko, currently under prosecution for racketeering and money laundering; to Farrakhan on a personal level (yes, racism from black people is a BAD change); hasn’t produced HIS tax returns; and has had behind-the-scenes meetings here in Chicago with Canada. He is not trustworthy – the Republicans are gonna rip him to shreds. I think Hillary should tell him what he told her: “I will not be number 2. I want the top spot.” He is a dishonest egotist.
Ferraro is correct. The reason Barak Obama has won the caucuses is due to his being black, and that 49% of the party leadership of the Democratic Party is black. Obama has used that card in order to set within the Democratic party a fifth column that intimidates and threatens those non black leaders, elected officials, and potential candidates with no endorsement by the black voter unless they endorse Obama. In Iowa he immediately used that card successfully in the caucus process where he undoubtedly succeeds time after time. That is called tyranny.
Obama created SLICE AND DICE. It also disenfranchises all non African American from participating in leadership unless approved by the African American leadership, thus SLICE AND DICING his opposition from gaining political access to leadership. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is a perfect example, for without the African American vote in St Louis and Kansas City, she would not be a Senator.
I am a white american and believe in fairness for all people. I am appauled by the comments posted here today. How much worse could this person being president be compared to George Bush or any other former president. I would like to believe in this country that the people voice stands for honor. You say that most of the people of color are voting for Mr Obama because he is black in fact it is true that the only thing you have to say is negative and lack foundation. I work for a college and I do research for a living I have been on my job for twenty-two years, I have seen all kinds of people and heard all kinds of promises, so what make what is say or believe any different from our supposed great former leader.
Until you read about his or Hilary goes and compare the fact shut your stupid mouths.
