I hope we learned a valuable lesson in Iowa that our opponents are not above shenanigans.

Lets hope caucus goers are keeping an eye out for discrepancies and dirty tricks.

Good luck, Bernie and to all of us as the primary season swings into Nevada!

It reminds me of when I first encountered it, as a teenager. I was reading a SF story by Keith Laumer of his intrepid space diplomat, Jaime Retief. In this story the natives of a planet were having an election, and one side was claiming shenanigans.

Lovely word.
