Sometimes It Feels Like Clinton is Still Running Against Obama

Questionable Caucus in Colorado too
Almost identical to Dallas story above, which raises questions about it being a universal, well planned effort.Arrive early,inside door greeted by young Obamas passing out paraphernalia.10 County Precincts in one old elem. school gym/auditorium.Directed to table,after 10 min.,find out it's wrong Precinct.Find mine,surrounding one folding table,up against the elevated stage.Told to sign in and show candidate preference by two Obama people who act in charge.Being disabled,I needed to sit,so I crawled under the table to sit next to elderly neighbor.Facing outward towards rest of gym.At other end of room someone says we're past the time of starting.He then does some talking,we can't see or hear because a late arrival is signing up.Then we're told to work within our precinct.One "leader" calls out each name and asks for vote.Hillary is way ahead as I keep track.One older woman says she wants uncommitted.Told she can't.She disagrees,is told,"just pick someone, it doesn't matter anyway".She says Obama.Suddenly, behind the people standing in front of the table,it's Obama, Obama, Obama...until he leads 37 to 35.We're told if you want to volunteer to go to State Caucus,sign up here,otherwise go home.Area mostly elderly,never been to caucus,leave,except young Obamas who become all delegates, no Clintons. Told record of votes to be on county website next day(never happened). In retrospect, no way 72 people were around our one six foot long table. No elections,no directions,no Clinton Delegates. Yeah, Hillary had a bad Caucus Strategy, she didn't plan ahead to cheat people out of their votes. Caucuses must never be used - Not Democratic. Now we know better, may take a couple years for the truth to be recognized - dirty Chicago politics used in every State. Yes there is such a cultish thing as Obama Camp.
The constant cry of "racism" has gotten old fast. You can be a minority and still be a poor choice for public office. Yes, Obama has dark skin. Big deal. Most of us got over skin color decades ago. He's still inexperienced. He still associates with questionable people. He still trips over his tongue. You were fooled by slick packaging. I think deep inside many Obama's supporters know it. Unless there is a last minute save at the convention, I'm holding my nose and voting McCain.
party unity my #@!
Don't get me started on O'Bambi's behind the scenes manipulations to keep FL and MI from counting so he could "win."
Just because he can manipulate the primaries doesn't mean I have to vote for him.
Voting Republican for the first time in my life.

For JW
JW: The supporter you witnessed had the job of PCO, elected last November-- that's how he got the sign-in sheets. Edwards had dropped out of the race long before Texas (though of course you may still caucus for him).
You can find your PCO's name by calling your local Democratic HQ if you're concerned there was something fishy going on, but as far as I know as a Texas voter on the Obama mailing lists, the Obama campaign was just very well organized. Nothing fishy went on at my caucus.
wow
Hillary and her racist supporters will elect McCain
Fraud took place
Uh, they did take over caucuses. Dallas, Texas here. 42 years old. Never saw anything like it. Voted day of election, went straight to the area we were doing the caucus in. Had 38 or so minutes before it started. Got out my phone, made calls and waited. A little after 7 o'clock, this man says he's in charge. We didn't vote him in charge. He refuses to answer questions. Has the sign in sheets. (Is a Barack Obama supporter as becomes obvious.) Tells people to divide into two groups (what about John Edwards supporters?). When people do, he says, "Okay, you can go." All the Hillary people start leaving. I was there for Edwards and stayed to ask him. As soon as they left, he whips out the sign in sheets and has the Barack people sign in. Did I mention he was wearing a sweat shirt with Barack on it?
I don't know about any conspiracy or plot. I just know what I witnessed in my precint. Never saw anything like it.
