"It looks improper" Mayor McDermott - (Clinton Supporter) CNN
Edited on Wed May-07-08 12:10 AM by autorank
Now McDermott (Clinton) and Mayor Clay (Obama) are having a debate.

Mayor McDermott tells Clay: "Everybody knows what's going on"

Lake County in - 55-45% - no big deal - the burbs of Lake County balanced out Gary.

But the Cilnton mayor cried election fraud.

1. hmmmm

4. Basically he accused the guy of cheating, then abruptly dropped the subject when Hillary won.
What an asshole.

11. That was amazing timing wasn't it. He cried foul and then had to eat it

The Gary Mayor said they had 4 x's the early voting with the same # of staff. But nobody listened.

Wolfie was particularly obnoxious.

Toobin seems to know what he's talking about, at least as far as electronic voting goes - said a recount would be meaningless on touch screens. He made several smart remarks.

5. Turns out the votes that came in late favored her
In other words, he should apologize.

6. There's a report that the Republican Chairman was with Clay the entire time, and
it's all legit. Why the M$M insists on making a scandal out of everything - I'll never know.

9. The same words burst out of the mouth Jeffrey Toubin (Obama supporter) on CNN about 11:10pm
In fact he went a bit further -- was more coarse and emphatic bt did not use the word fraud. Of course he was blaming the Clinton side.

12. What a surprise ending
Edited on Wed May-07-08 12:52 AM by L. Coyote

What changed?

99% 95% gain
637,389 606,497 30,892
615,370 589,888 25,482


This is a real surprise given this is Lake County!!

We just switched from a 75/25 Obama initial break when Gary reported to
a 55/45 Clinton break for the last 56,000 votes reported!

13. Wasn't that interesting?

I guess the cats out of the whatever .... they can talk about it on cable news.

Too bad they wouldn't in 2004 and in 2002 and in the Hackett "loss" in 2005.

Good to hear the issue discussed.
