Barack Obama - Robbed In NY
.
I remember sitting home on the evening of Feb 5th, the super Tuesday wondering how the state of NY could go for Clinton. I mean, I know she’s the state’s Senator and all, but she’s not a real New Yorker. Well I believe I might understand why.
Black voters are heavily represented in the 94th Election District in Harlem’s 70th Assembly District. Yet according to the unofficial results from the New York Democratic primary last week, not a single vote in the district was cast for Senator Barack Obama.
Now this seems like the same dirty politics that Bush pulled in 2000 in Florida & 2004 in Ohio. Is this the kind of thing we want to go through for another 4-8 years. I say the Clinton’s had their run, and it was a good one. But if they keep playing this dirty in house political game, She’s not going to get my vote even if she wins the nomination.
.
So as of now I’m going to sit back and let the investigation take it’s course. “City election officials this week said that their formal review of the results, which will not be completed for weeks, had confirmed some major discrepancies between the vote totals reported publicly — and unofficially — on primary night and the actual tally on hundreds of voting machines across the city.”

Xilla, I agree with you. Republican is my last choice… I would have to be intense with my evaluation of all the candidates.

Wouldn’t surprise me in the least. Weren’t there some discrepancies with Hillary’s win in New Hampshire.
I’ll definitely be watching the results here in Ohio, especially in Cuyahoga County, which has a substantial black population. If she comes out of Ohio with a win, and there’s problems in Cleveland again, I’m crying foul…

I’m going to jump ahead of the post. I am telling you now that our next President will be Mccain. Bush has practically annoited him.
So while you are assisting in the counting and discepancies and watching tv and the little pict- all you will be doing is wasting your time trying to figure it out. I got better things to do while these politrickans- trick us again.
I am going to get out my music- some Keisha Cole & Willie Hutch singing Anything is possible and Love Power, some candles burning, popouri oil cooking, throw in a porn video, make some martini’s. My man and I will be getting on- on election night. {self medicating}
When the morning comes - and Mccain is president I am going to say I told them so.
I show hate it…..

I live in NY and it’s a dayum shame that we voted for Clinton over Obama. I don’t understand it at all. We got to do better.

Wow. I wondered, too, how NY could go to Senator Clinton.
Ever since this campaign has gotten underway, I’ve been ashamed of how former President Clinton and Senator Clinton have acted. I know politics is a game, but they seem awfully quick to resort to dirty tricks, against members of their own party.
It’s so sad. I used to love them, okay, okay, I used to love Bill so much.

Not ONE VOTE…come on now. I can’t believe the people of that district are not making a bigger deal about it. I do believe that Obama is the people’s choice, but will he be able to overcome the dirty politics to take the nomination…that I don’t know. It’s very sad.
But, it does make me proud that he is not the one doing the dirty politics, he is doing everything right. I hope he prevails in the end.
