Clinton Volunteer Thinks Obama Cheated
A Clinton campaign volunteer I just talked to at the Hotel Fort Des Moines thinks Barack Obama won by cheating.
“Bill Clinton came in third his first round, so it’s nothing,” said Linda Dugan, a retired Des Moines resident. “She’s still in the ball game, and she’s ahead in the nation. And she’ll stay that way, as long as Obama doesn’t continue to cheat.”
I asked what she meant.
She said that in the precincts, people don’t have to show proof of where they’re from to caucus, and she thought that lots of people must have come in from out of state to caucus for Obama.
“They don’t have to prove that they live here when they sign in,” she said.
She suggested that Obama’s “persuaders” – the people responsible for poaching supporters of non-viable candidates at the caucuses – were campaign plants. “Their persuaders were official staffers, and they’re not supposed to be,” she said.
Why did she think that?
“Because they came on gangbusters and knew all their facts, and with normal people you just don’t get that,” she said.

sore loser?
"'Because they came on gangbusters and knew all their facts, and with normal people you just don’t get that,' she said." I'm sorry that some of Obama's supporters did some research on their nominee. Would you rather people choose their candidate randomly?? She is just a very sore loser.
"Our time for change has come"!
"They said this day will never come"!
"You have done what the cynics said we couldn't do"!
Dear Friend,
Tonight, the people of Iowa sent a loud and clear message to the rest of the country that we are ready for a change. That change is Barack Obama. Now, as we head to New Hampshire, I am optimistic that the people of New Hampshire will come out in droves, particularly the young and those who tend not to be involved in politics. Washington pundits and so-called political experts said that Obama will not win and that it was not his time. Well, Iowans said it clearly: WE ARE READY FOR CHANGE!
I will be travelling this weekend to Nashua, New Hampshire to campaign for Barack. I will be joined by my partner, Cossette and 17 year-old brother, Joey (both die-hard Barack supporters). They both travelled with me to Washington, DC for my dinner with Barack back in July. My brother is travelling from Philadelphia and we are taking off Saturday at 4AM. We are looking forward to seeing Barack again at the Nashua North High School where he will be speaking at 10AM Saturday and canvassing for Barack.
Many people thought I was crazy to go with Barack and not with our State Senator. I told them then, and I tel them now, Barack is what America needs. We have had enough of traditional politicians who talk the talk but do not walk the walk.
Barack is the JFK of our time!
What? Obama supporters came on like gangbusters and knew all their facts.
Gee, I guess it's assumed dummies generally attend these whatever you call it in Idaho.
Seriously, what's the point of having these Iowa caucuses anyway if the process is so flawed. Ask these "Iowans" a few questions and see if they know all the facts.
How many of these "Iowans" were pronouncing Des Moines, DEZ MOINEZ. That could be a big tip off some of these "Iowans" don't live in Iowa. Just a guess! If they were talking about Buckeye football, that could be a big tip off, too. Just a guess.
Proof of residency should be a requirement. Even George W. Bush has enough smarts to know that. Our political system is worthless.
Maybe the “Hillary volunteer” should do some research; you don’t just “walk into a caucus.” Believe it or not, you have to sign-in! I’ve met every Dem. nominee at least twice; Iowans don’t like Mrs. Clinton because she’s a robot. People like Edwards and Obama because they are “REAL PEOPLE” people who can think on there own.
Unlike the high and mighty god Hillary, who seems to have the sympathy votefrom the grumpy, overweight women; women that are placinghaving a woman in the White House, over having someone that will do well. I’d rather see Biden or Dodd in the WH, why? they have a pulse!
Perhaps the Clinton vol. remembers,
oh say...planted questions?
The Clinton staffer who spoke out-of-turn is not helping her candidate by such ill-mannered comments. SHe should know better, and so should you. Taking the foolish remarks made by one thoughtless person, and turning it into a sensational eye-catching blog is just another superficial news item. Apparently, the enormous explosion of news sources has turned journalists into entertainers. If the real issue is the over-emphasis on IOWA, then write about it. If the credibility of caucus participants is being challenged research the truth. Don't repeat hearsay, and certainly don't give substance to sour grapes.
The three leading Democratic candidates all deserve better from the news media.
Man the taste of defeat is very bitter isn't it? Just 'cause you lost dosen't mean it was cheating. And while we're at it, what about all of Bill and Hil's Nixonian dirty tricks? Don't like that, huh? Or is B&H's dirty trickery okay?
Obama DID cheat!!! I've got friends that go to the University of Illinois that showed me the fliers that obama PERSONALLY gave them at a rally! It stated EXACTLY what the clinton staffer said above. That obama bussed in 1000's of his supporters to Iowa, telling them that they did NOT need to show proof of residency, and if they WERE asked, to just tell them that they didn't have any ID with them. WORD FOR WORD!
Obama is DEFINITELY in the lowest of the low of all scum. His religious ties to Islam are definitely worrisome. If he is elected (no chance in hell people, get real) be ready for Shariah Law. Better tell God to shove it because if you don't bow to the make believe beheading prophet muhammed , you WILL lose your head. LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER!!!!!!!
(Northern California, Independent above):
You’re a moron you ignorant fanatic, the end.
Obama supporters cheated in Nevada too!
and he still lost.
That's so funny!
You never know if Obama cheated or not. If he did cheat in some way it'll come back to haunt him. Personally I distrust him & Clinton. I'm not too fond of the GOP either.
People shouldn't flame people for their personal or political feelings. Obama missed 172 votes in the Senate yet the media isn't following up on that. Look it up don't just believe speeches investigate the person applying for the job of presidency of the US. This is your right as an American citizen.
It appears that some type of cheating has probably gone on by the obama camp. Proof can be found in the fact that Obama's 11 largest voting percentages were ALL in caucus states. That can't be called a mathematical coincidence as the odds would be in the billions to have the 11 highest vote totals be in caucus states.
Not only does Obama get a suspicious "bump" from the caucus wins, then he immediately parlays that into having a mandate of the people and the delegates and uses that get a boost with superdelegates and uncommitted delegates.
Obama won in the Washington State caucus 68% to 31%, then barely hung on for the non-binding primary held 10 days later in the same state, 50% to 49.6%
Check you tube idiot. There is video evidence of the cheating in many caucus states. Obama will never win in the G.E. Go lap up some more crap you lemming.
Please post the video evidence of cheating.
Did you friends report this cheating to the proper authorities? Did anyone save the flyers?
yes!you can apparently walk into a caucus. as a delegate for Hillary I walked into the Nueses Texas county convention only to discover that I was already there as a Obama deligate. Who took that from me remains to be seen and I intend to get to the bottom of that. So do not sit there and say that you can not walk into a convention and do that. Obama is a crook get it in your head.
