New Hampshire's 2008 primary election may prove to be the most fascinating presidential preference race in history.

- Both Democrat and Republican candidates have requested recounts

- More than half of New Hampshire's elections administrators hand count paper ballots in public at the polling place, with a public chain of custody. The rest of New Hampshire's towns and cities use Diebold voting machines to count votes in secret, with a secret chain of custody.

- Hand count and machine count locations, when calculated statewide, show an eerie statistic:

Clinton Optical scan 91,717 52.95%
Obama Optical scan 81,495 47.05%

Clinton Hand-counted 20,889 47.05%
Obama Hand-counted 23,509 52.95%

- Two hand count towns reported "zero" votes for candidate Ron Paul to the media, even though they did have votes for him. The town of Sutton reported zero, but had 31 votes; the town of Greenville reported zero, but had 25 votes. The two towns had misreported results affecting exactly the same candidate in exactly the same way.

- Results in many locations arrived up to four hours late on Election Night, surprisingly, from machine-counted locations -- not hand count locations;

- A single private entity had control over coding for every memory card in New Hampshire. According to the contract for LHS Associates, this firm requires a right of access to any voting machine at any time, services the machines, maintains the machines and handles repairs, replacements and troubleshooting on Election Day.

- Ken Hajjar, a key employee of this sole source private entity, LHS Associates, has a criminal record for narcotics trafficking. The state of New Hampshire knew of this conviction but approved the contractor anyway. According to a complaint filed with the New Hampshire Attorney General, Hajjar had called the Dan Pierce radio show in 1999 and threatened to rig an election.

- A high number of "other" votes appeared in Manchester, where over 570 people apparently decided to go to the polls and choose none of the first tier OR second tier candidates.

- The voting system in New Hampshire was updated, but to a version that had been proven to be vulnerable in studies in Florida and California. Instead of upgrading to newer versions which at least claim to address known security vulnerabilities, New Hampshire chose to implement none of the beefed up procedures or upgraded versions that other states are using.

In Contrast to Obama, Hillary Plays the Race Card
By Dick Morris

On the evening of Jan. 3, it became clear that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) was going to be a serious candidate for president with a viable chance of winning. The Clintons decided that he was going, inevitably, to win a virtually unanimous vote from the black community. Their own reputation for support for civil rights would make no difference.

With a black candidate within striking distance of the White House, a coalescing of black voters behind his candidacy became inevitable.

Frustratingly for the Clintons, Obama had achieved this likely solidarity among black voters without, himself, summoning racial emotions. He had gone out of his way to avoid mentioning race �" quite a contrast with Hillary, whose every speech talks about her becoming the first female president. But precisely to distinguish himself from the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of American politics, Obama resisted any racial appeal or even reference. His rhetoric, argumentation, and presentation was indistinguishable from a skilled white candidate’s.

So the Clintons faced a problem: With Obama winning the black vote, how were they to win a sufficient proportion of the white electorate to offset his advantage?

Not racists themselves, they decided, nonetheless, to play the race card in order to achieve the polarization of the white vote that they needed to offset that among blacks.

They embarked on a strategy of talking about race �" mentioning Martin Luther King Jr., for example �" and asking their surrogates to do so as well. They have succeeded in making an election that was about gender and age into one that is increasingly about race.

According to the Rasmussen poll of Monday, Jan. 14, Obama leads among blacks by 66-16 while Hillary is ahead among whites by 41-27. The overall head to head is 37-30 in favor of Hillary.

It does not matter which specific reference to race can be traced to whom. Obama’s campaign has resisted any temptation to campaign on race and, for an entire year, kept the issue off the front pages. Now, at the very moment that the crucial voting looms, the election is suddenly about race. Obviously, it is the Clintons’ doing. Remember the adage: Who benefits?

As Super Tuesday nears, the Clintons will likely take their campaign to a new level, charging that Obama can’t win.

They will never cite his skin color in this formulation, but it will be obvious to all voters what they mean: that a black cannot get elected.

The Clintons are far from above using race to win an election. Running for president in the aftermath of the 1992 Los Angeles race riots, Clinton seized on a comment made by rapper Sister Souljah in an interview with her published on May 13, 1992 in The Washington Post. She said, “If black people kill black people every day, why not have a week and kill white people?”

Clinton pounced, eager to show moderates that he was not a radical and was willing to defy the political correctness imposed on the Democratic Party by the civil rights leadership. In a speech to the Rainbow Coalition he said, “If you took the words ‘white’ and ‘black’ and you reversed them, you might think David Duke was giving that speech,” an allusion to the former Klansman then running for public office in Louisiana.

The Clintons will be very careful about how they go about injecting race into the campaign. Part of their strategy will be to provoke discussion of whether race is becoming a factor in the election. Anything that portrays Obama as black and asks about the role of race in the contest will serve their political interest. And you can bet that there is nothing they won’t do ... if they can get away with it.

Hapana wakuu, hii thread ni muhimu kwa kujifunza lakini lazima tureflect uwezo wetu wa kufikiria. ni halali kweli tuumane kwa siasa za hawa wakubwa? ukiingia kwenye siasa na emotions wallah utajinyonga! Kama mkubwa wangu hapo juu, lazima ujifunze kutetea hoja zako bila emotions za kufinger point watu na kuwatukana! Otherwise utaumia sana na huu mchezo unaoitwa siasa! Ofcourse watu humu hatujuani, lakini ni vema tukaheshimana. Kwani hatuwezi kupambanisha hoja bila name calling wakuu??

Kama Mkandara alivyosema, siasa lazima tujifunze kutofautiana. Exactly this is our biggest problem in bongo or rather Africa. Mtu akitofautiana na kiongozi hata kama ni boss ofisini kimtizamo basi ni uadui unaweza hata kuswekwa lupango ukasahaulika. Hapana siasa ni torelance, KUVUMILIA NA KUHESHIMU mawazo ambayo hukubaliani nayo.

Kwa swala la Hillary na Obama, the worst is yet to come lazima watakao mcriticize Obama hata kama legitimately wanafanya hivyo watakuwa lebeled kama racist! Na I hope BO hataingia kwenye huu mtego! the same applies to Hillary na gender. Iam sure hata wao wanalijua hili! But since interests za Republicans ni kushinda at any costs, basi you should brace to see and hear what you dont like! At the end of the day its democracy. whether it is the appropriate way of doing things me and you we may have different ideas. But for sure mwaka huu utakuwa very interesting katika American politics.

Na usishangae come November and December same pundits wa media wakawa wanatupomp na mijadala ya what went wrong with democrats to lose obvious election which was on their plate to swallow! wait and see.

I wish them well.

NB: Zalendo, naheshimu waungwana walioko majuu irrespective walifikaje huko, maana najua wengi walistruggle kufika huko (maana sio wote walioletewa passport na visa nyumbani na wazazi wao na wanasoma kwa kodi za walalahoi), najua kuna waliohangaika mpaka wakafika huko. Nawaheshimu sana na I wish them success. As along as wanafight to better their lives, I salute them all. Kila lakheri.

 

[Masanja]

Hii race wakianza kuidefine in racial line, honestly hatutafika mbali na most media naona wanaenda beyond their boundaries (unfortunately thats where "we" are going). kwa nini wanaangalia American with African heritage tuu? kwa sababu walikuwa watumwa zamani? kwanini wasiangalie minorities wengine wanavyo vote kama Asians, Latino etc? hii ni divide and conquer. and this isnt doing any good for BO. Watu wamefika point wakiona Mwafrika anamsupport mama HRC anaonekana kama Msaliti, the likes of Charlie Rangel and others! This is exactly what the same people are against but the likes of Dick Morris na hoja zao ndo wanakoturudisha!

Hatukusikia swala ra race liki crop up dhidi ya Bill Richardson ambaye ana heritage ya kispaniola, au latino siyo "sizable monorities"!! au kwa vile ni mzungu? lets stop this hypocricy!!! Mwacheni BO atafute kura kama wengine bila kumpa classifications. Infact I was happy to read kwamba all this hula baloo haikuwa na support yake bali ni supporters wake!! Kwanini waseme "viable American with African heritage to vie for WH" wasiseme "viable WOMAN to vie for white house" (angekuwapo jew kwenye race wangesema the same tale?) The whole thing naona ni game media na Republicans wanalicheza na God forbid tusiingie kwenye huo mtego! I can assure you, both dems candidates BO and HC have major obstacles very difficult to overcome in this current world we live in. But in anyway Iam an eternal optimist that humanity will move on and disregard race and gender!

wakati huo huo....

Meanwhile, BET Founder Robert Johnson apologized to Obama for remarks he made while campaigning for Clinton, a U.S. senator from New York, comments that indirectly referred to Obama's youthful drug use.

"I'm writing to apologize to you and your family personally for the un-called-for comments I made at a recent Clinton event," Johnson said in a letter. "In my zeal to support Sen. Clinton, I made some very inappropriate remarks for which I am truly sorry. I hope that you will accept this apology. Good luck on the campaign trail."

Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) -- A Barack Obama sticker decorates the bumper of Helen Quarles's car. It fit neatly over the Hillary Clinton decal Quarles, a retired auto worker from McCormick, South Carolina, displayed until recently.

Quarles, a 69-year-old African-American, once was a Clinton volunteer. Her shift to Obama is part of a trend among black voters that may cause problems for Clinton, the national front- runner in the Democratic presidential race.

With South Carolina due to hold its Democratic primary Jan. 26 and blacks expected to account for 50 percent of party ballots, polls show Obama now leading Clinton.

Patricia Clark, a 47-year-old administrative assistant from Charleston, said she has vacillated between Clinton, 60, and the senator from Illinois and now leans toward Obama. Though ``Hillary's been there for us,'' she said, ``I'm looking for someone who can make some changes.''

South Carolina illustrates a broader shift in states with large concentrations of black Democrats. On Feb. 5, several states with big black populations, including Georgia and Alabama, where more than 40 percent of Democratic primary voters are black, hold nominating contests.

[Dems Target Obama

LAS VEGAS -- False email rumors have been circulating for months suggesting that Barack Obama is some sort of Manchurian Candidate from another culture bent on harming the United States. Hearing John Edwards and Hillary Clinton tell it these days in Nevada, it seems they believe Obama is a Manchurian Democrat, sent from the Republican Party to harm the left's chances of retaking the White House.

The way Edwards and Clinton speak, one would be led to believe that Obama is the clear front-runner and that the only way the other two can win is by taking votes away from the popular freshman senator. In separate appearances today, both went out of their way to slam recent comments Obama has made in praise of the Republican Party, and to loud applause.

Speaking to supporters before beginning a nationwide tour, John Edwards took time to claim the mantle of a candidate who can come from behind. "I am not the $100 million candidate. That's the other two guys," he said. "I am the underdog." Before singling out Clinton for taking lobbyist money, a refrain he has long repeated, Edwards turned his attention to Obama. "I have a truly universal health care plan. Senator Obama does not."

Edwards then joined critics of Obama's recent comparisons of his campaign to that of Ronald Reagan, in that both are agents of change. "We know that Ronald Reagan is not an example of change for a presidential candidate who is running in the Democratic Party."

Just half an hour later, joining owners and employees at a small business a few miles away, Clinton echoed the criticisms, citing an interview in which Obama said the GOP was the party of ideas. "My leading opponent the other day said that he thought the Republicans had better ideas than Democrats the last ten to fifteen years. That's not the way I remember the last ten to fifteen years."

Clinton's shot at her rival came two minutes -- literally -- after her campaign announced a conference call in which Reps. Barney Frank, Corrine Brown and Shelley Berkley would denounce the comments. Frank's sister is top Clinton adviser Ann Lewis, and Berkley represents the Las Vegas-based district from which a large plurality of Democratic caucus-goers will come tomorrow.

Both campaigns sought to portray Obama as the Nevada front-runner despite recent polls showing Clinton ahead. "Senator Obama has an advantage because of the Culinary endorsement," Clark County Commission chairman and Clinton state chair Rory Reid told Politics Nation. "She has significant union support, but the Culinary Union is certainly a factor. They were an endorsement that everybody sought, simply because of their numbers."

Edwards has left Las Vegas and will attend a rally in Oklahoma City later today, the third stop on what the campaign is billing as a nationwide tour. Clinton will hold two rallies, in Elko and in Reno, before joining husband Bill Clinton for a final rally in Henderson, just south of Las Vegas. Obama has rallies planned for Elko and Las Vegas before heading to a Martin Luther King Jr. dinner in Las Vegas.

Black voters see new generation gap

By SHANNON McCAFFREY, Associated Press Writer
Fri Jan 18, 3:38 PM ET

When civil rights elders signed on to support Hillary Rodham Clinton's run for president, it was seen as a coup in the competition for the black vote, especially in the Deep South.

Yet many younger black voters seem to be shrugging off the sway of leaders such as Rep. John Lewis and former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young, siding instead with Barack Obama's history-making bid to be the nation's first black president.

It's a generational struggle that should serve as a warning to Democrats as they head into primary contests in states with large black populations: The black vote today is anything but monolithic.

It also suggests the influence the civil rights leaders have enjoyed as political kingmakers is waning.

"The figureheads are not actually gatekeepers to the black vote," said William Jelani Cobb, a 38-year-old history professor at the historically black Spelman College.

"No disrespect, but they don't speak for us."

The candidates face their first showdown for black votes in South Carolina on Jan. 26 and another Feb. 5 in Super Tuesday states with large minority populations, such as Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas.

Clinton and Obama have been aggressively courting black votes for some time. Both visited Selma, Ala., in March for the anniversary of the "Bloody Sunday" civil rights march in 1965. And Obama is set to speak at Martin Luther King Jr.'s Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta on Sunday, a visit expected to be rich in symbolism coming the day before the King holiday.

In a sign of what's at stake, a heated dispute has erupted over Clinton's comment that King's dream of racial equality was realized only when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Bill Clinton's putdowns of the Illinois senator also have offended some blacks. Altogether, the scrap between the Clintons and the Obama camp has awakened racial sensitivities in the party that is supposed to know how to deal with race.

Blacks have traditionally voted overwhelmingly Democratic and Obama is picking up their support fast, according to new polls. An ABC-Washington Post survey this week found a 21-point increase in support for Obama among black voters in the last month, putting him up 60-32 over Clinton. He led the New York senator 49-34 in a CBS-New York Times poll.

Still, Clinton's husband enjoyed such strong support from black voters that he was dubbed the first black president. And Hillary Clinton has been able to capitalize on long-standing friendships with the black political elite in scoring endorsements. Whether that will translate into black votes is anyone's guess.

"For me personally, I have a long association with the Clintons and I'm very loyal to my friends," said Lewis, an Atlanta Democrat.

Younger blacks don't share the same loyalties. And some lump older black leaders with the political establishment they say Obama is aiming to upend.

One civil rights veteran who is backing Obama shares that view. Joseph Lowery, former head of the Southern Christian Leadership Council, calls colleagues who are supporting Clinton "good old boys."

"They are business-as-usual, old-guard politicians and it's hard for them to break out of that mold," Lowery said.

At a speech Wednesday before the Hungry Club at the Butler Street YMCA in Atlanta, Lowery said blacks who doubt Obama's ability to compete are guilty of "a slave mentality."

"No matter how much education they have, they never graduated from the slave mentality," Lowery said. "The slavery mentality compels us to say, 'We can't win, we can't do.'"

Clinton has lined up the support of baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron, one-time basketball superstar Magic Johnson, Motown founder Berry Gordy and Black Entertainment Television founder Bob Johnson among others. Obama has Oprah Winfrey in his corner as well as R&B crooner Usher.

Clinton has poet Maya Angelou; Obama has the rapper Ludacris — a generational split all its own.

The campaign has divided some prominent households, too.

Jesse Jackson, who tried to become the first black president in his 1984 and 1988 campaigns, and his son, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., are backing Obama. The elder Jackson's wife, Jacqueline, is supporting Clinton.

Georgia state Rep. Bob Holmes, former director of Clark Atlanta University's Southern Center for Studies in Public Policy, said blacks in the South could once count on a rigid brand of machine politics in which black churches and civic leaders delivered their voters.

That machine is no more, he said. "The younger generation is more independent and make up their own minds."

Holmes also said younger blacks feel the old guard set its sights too low.

"This isn't the generation of slow struggle," he said. "This is the Me Generation and if they see a viable black candidate for president they don't see a reason why that shouldn't be possible right now."

Rick Dent, a political strategist who has worked for Democratic campaigns throughout the South, said older black leaders adopted a more pragmatic political approach out of necessity.

"For the John Lewises of the world, who've been hit in the head with a baton, they have a different perspective," Dent said. "You've got a new generation of African-Americans with no contact or understanding with what he had to go through, thank God."

LaDawn Jones bounced her 5-month-old daughter Lyndon on her knee at a party that brought several hundred Obama supporters together to watch returns in the New Hampshire primary won by Clinton. She said she backed Clinton at first because she thought the New York senator had a better chance of winning in November.

Now Jones is behind Obama, explaining, "I want to go for the gold."

YNIM,Icadon,

..nadhani blacks inabidi wawe makini na jinsi wanavyomuunga mkono Obama.

..they should do it in such a way kwamba hawaonekani kama wana-jump ship ya kina Clinton.

..ikiwa watamuunga mkono Obama kwa kumtenga na kumbeza Hillary basi kuna hatari ya wanawake na weupe kuamua kuwakomoa kwa kumpigia kura Hillary.

Icadon,
whts ur take juu ya clintons kwenda kwa courts ku-block the nine casino caucus sites? I think it is ridiculous!!! wapo against it kwasababu hawana endorsement ya culinaries.........."fear and loathing in las vegas."

..ugomvi ulikuwa ni kwamba vituo vya kura vitakuwa wazi kwenye casinos wakati sehemu nyingine vitakuwa vimefungwa.

..hata hivyo matokeo yameshatoka na Clintons wameshinda. Mzee Clinton alikuwa akizunguka kwenye ma-casino kupiga kampeni.

..NEXT STOP, SOUTH CAROLINA.

..GO OBAMA!!

NB:
..nimesoma John Edwards anaweza kuachia ngazi, na kumu-endorse Obama.

With Bill attacking Obama from left right and Center/centre

Democrats are the most disorganized and disunited party than Republicans. Wanaponzwa na extreme leftist who think that always things should be done to their whims. Iam afraid come November Republicans will rent the WH for another four years!

Na wanavyoendelea na hizi personal attacks kati ya BO na HRC its to their detriments! Ohh poor Dems! The likes of Edwards, Kerry and alike..all these are losers, they have no record to their back. Clinton is a political savy who plays it dirty, but people should learn to counter his arguments using the same skills he uses! sijui ni kumuogopa, jamaa wanashindwa kumjengea hoja, wanabakia kwenye personal attacks..oohh jamaaa womenizer, jamaa corrupt, jamaa ana special interests..etc..come on, such attacks will never, Again I say Never, win you a serious constitutent of votes!! Its economy stupid! show voters what you did and what you can do! stop attacking personality. Unfortunately, haters wote wa Clinton hawana hoja..ni hizi hizi attacks za mapenzi na special interests connection ambazo tumeanza kuzisikia tangia jamaa yuko Arkansas! Domocrats grow up! On this you have alot to learn from Republicans-atleast on this!
