NH Primary Results and Polls: Interview with Pew Research
President Andrew Kohut. On the way home this evening I listened to NPR. They did an interview with Mr. Kohut. I listened to the entire interview and here is what I heard:
in a nutshell, the results of the Republican Primary in NH matched; there was no discrepancy there but because, apparently based on the results, most white people in NH are racist and therefore did not actually vote for Obama (I didn't say it and I don't agree with it but this is the bull____ that Mr. Kohut was selling). Also, it seems the ignorant and poor don't like Obama either...interesting since I would venture to guess that this group consists mostly of minorities. As it turns out, according to Mr. Kohut, the ignorant and poor prefer Hillary.

Seriously, this is the kind of bull____ they are selling and want people to believe? I know that I am probably beating a dead horse here but this is nuts. Remember, mind you, there was no discrepancy in the Rethuglican primary. Very interesting albeit extremely brief mention by Mr. Kohut.

I am for Edwards, not that it matters because more than any candidate I am for fair, accurate and transparent elections in the good old USA - go figure!

I don't know what the hell happened in NH and perhaps it was all legitimate but it is curious to me that there were NO problems in the Rethug races and the "problems" with the primary results for the Democrats are being explained away by "racism" and "ignorance" and "poverty" ...and the media, the pollsters, etc. seem to have an attitude of "enough said" as if that explains it all. Hmm. Really?

I don't trust Diebold, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, live free or Diebold I have said for years now. Something stinks to high heaven with OUR "election" system here in the USA. I suppose it may be way too early in this process for me to dawn my :tinfoilhat: but suffice it to say that I don't trust CNN or any Corporate Media or any Corporation that pretends to count ALL the votes.

Peace. TP04

5. Your OP is terrific. I'm sick of the tortured efforts to make the voters fit the "votes".
Ignoring the elephant in the room. It's become commonplace day-after election fare. Blaming the voters for lying, for being racists, for being stupid, and so on and so on and so on. Maybe, just maybe - it's something ELSE!

And if we have a transparent voting system WE WON'T HAVE TO GUESS!!

6. here you go...
New Hampshire has a lot of libertarians...and I think Ron Paul had a lot of support there...I live next door in MA..but I did see quite a few signs..?

BREAKING!! Urgent I just Talked to Albert RE:Recount!!!!

It could cost as much as $12,000 to do the full recount, and he is flying daily paulto NH tonight and the recount is on. He also said to please pray for his safety in this quest.
He wanted everyone to understand how "BIG" this is!!!! Alex Jones is preparing a nationwide news conferance right now to expose the entire thing! He also said.....God Bless all of us, and any support would be appreciated. Call now and talk to him!!!
I got chills!!
He asked for this to be posted everywhere....PEOPLE THIS IS HUGE....we get a RE_COUNT without exposing RP to anything!!!!!

4. I heard it too
He said poorer, less-educated voters are under-represented in most polls, historically-speaking, and that these same voters are less likely to vote for a black candidate. A bit controversial perhaps, but not necessarily 'crazy'.
