Voter irregularity?

Wait...there aren't.

2. I'm an Obama supporter and I'm curious what would happen
(I'll back any candidate's request for a recount, personally)

4. Is it a state policy for a recount if it's that close?
I doubt anything will change. Now if this were the GE I would expect it.

5. And I expect it in our primaries as well.
Does anyone remember Richard J. Daley, the late mayor of Chicago?

The Democratic party historically has hardly proven itself immune to corruption.

Let the votes be counted -- and verified, if necessary.

15. 1% margin or less...
Typically, that's the criteria for a recount. The Missouri margin is about .97%, so I would expect a recount there.

10. She won most of Missouri, county by county. Obama won St. Louis and KC. She'll still get delegates.
It was one points difference.

She should be happy that she'll walk away from losing the state on paper, but still picking up a decent amount of delegates in the real victory that matters--delegates!!

11. I'll whine about McCaskill.
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 11:05 AM by Straight Shooter
She supports telecom immunity, but lauds Barack for his "courage." Now I know what held me back from donating to her campaign when she was running. Something just wasn't quite right with the picture.

ETA: I think she certainly played a part in his success there.

13. She's my Senator. Met her twice, volunteered for her. And she's been horrible thus far.
I've been very disappointed with her performance.

It was like replacing the shit that was Jim Talent with more shit.

I've been very disappointed with Sen. McCaskill.
