To Snow's Astonishment, Maher Suggests GOP Stole NH for Hillary

Insisting he's “not a conspiracy theorist,” Bill Maher, on the Friday night season debut of his HBO show, suggested that because Republicans prefer to run against Hillary Clinton than Barack Obama they engineered her victory in New Hampshire's Democratic primary.

Hey, where do we get the ‘same day registration to vote’ numbers. And the party they registered for and then unregistered for...

I got the rest of the voting results from the NH SOS site.

Here is the list of 40 townships that had more than 600 Clinton votes and percentages for Clinton above 39%:

In Hillsborough County:
Bedford, Goffstown, Hudson, LItchfield, All 12 Manchester wards except #3 (missed the list with only 551 votes but the same percentages as the other Mass wards), Merrimack, All 9 Nashua wards (Where Sid was arrested for DWI), Pelham and Weare.

In Merrimack County:
Hooksett, and Pembroke.

In Rockingham County:
Atkinson, Derry, Hampstead, Hampton, Londonderry, Plaistow, Portsmouth Ward 4, Raymond, Salem, Seabrook, and Windham.

As some had suggested earlier - they are all close to Boston and the I95 highway.

The top Hillary township was Salem with 2,869 - which is JUST over the border.

The competing theories are:

1) Absentee ballots cast before the fall (where can we get a count of the absentee ballots and how they were handled - counted first, last, not counted...) All I know so far is Dix where 4 of the 17 votes were absentee. The H campaign had a big push on to get the votes in before the IOWA results crashed. This could explain the difference if big enough.

2) MASSIVE MASS. VOTER FRAUD. Would have to be on the order of 20,000 voters. That is a lot of buses. However the increase in voter turnout was fairly uniform (31%) on the Dem side and about 1/2 the locations went for Obama.

However, it is not a long drive, 10 minutes, and while the number is large, it is not that large. After all, 60,000 - 80,000 drive to football games on a weekend.

An alternative would be for a smaller more dedicated group make the round trip of all the polling spots - registering and unregistering.

3) Dibold rigging or bad counting. Smaller number of corrupt needed this way. Easier to keep the secret.

I’m not the one who turns every thread into a conspiracy against Duncan Hunter....regardless of how removed the subject is from anything to do with him.

It’s not a conspiracy. Hunter didn’t make any news. The same goes for the Fredheads who insist that Fox is trying to marginalize him. Get your numbers up in the polls and the coverage will follow. Unfortunately, them’s the rules and they’re evenly applied to all candidates.

Where’s the outrage? If someone from the right did that there would be big push to fire him.

I still think Obama would be easier to beat in Nov. IMO.

The numbers are interesting. There is a clear bifurication in preference.

There were many locations that went for Obama in the percentages that were expected by the polls. Then there are many other locations that reversed the numbers and went for Hillary.

Hillary 2008 is probably closest to Kerry 2004 in appeal - especially to the Boston crowd. Obama 2008 is probably closest to Dean 2004 in appeal.

In Belknap county: 5 of 16
Of the 16 townships, there were 5 that stood out for Clinton. Belmont 43.7%, Laconia Ward 1 38.7%, Laconia Ward6 43.3 % and Laconia Ward 7 40.5%. The rest fell to Obama except for New Hampton which was low for both but slightly in favor of Hillary.

The Kerry assumption fails. Obama does best where Kerry did best.

In Carrol County: 3 of 19
Just 3 stand out for Hillary - Effingham 41.9%; Hales Location 52.4%; and Wakefield 45.3%

Also does not match my Kerry assumption.

Cheshire County: 6 of 28 or so for H
Fitzwilliam 42.7%, Hinsdale 43.6%, Marlow 38.9%, Rindge 38.6%, Troy 45.6%, and Winchester 48.8%.

Obama took most of the rest.

In Altk & County: 17 of 47 or so for H*
All 4 Berlin wards at 50-52%, Clarksville 47.6%, Columbia 43.2%, Gorham 40.7%., Jefferson 39.8%, Milan 40.2%, Millsfield 66.7% (5 votes), Northumberland 40.5%, Pittsburg 40.9%, Shelburne 40.2%, Stewartstown 51.8%, Starford, 48.0%.

In Grafton County: 6 of 42 or so for H
Again mostly Obama - except for Ashland 40.3%, Bridgewater 39.4%,Lincoln 43.5%, Thorton 38.6%, Warren 44.8%, Wentworth 40.4%, and Woodstock 38.85.

In Merrimack: 16 of 38 or so for H
Hillary took Allenstown 46.1%, Boscawen 44.5%, Chichester 38.2%, Concord Wards 1,2,6,8 and 9 in the 39% range (43% in 6), Epson 41.4%, Franklin Ward 1,2,3 at 48, 44, and 45% respectively, Hooksett at 42%, Loudon 41%, Pembroke 39% and Pittsfield 39%.

In Strafford: 19 of 27 for so for H
Dover Wards 3,4,5 and 6 at about 40%, Famington at 47%, Middleton 49%, Milton 44%, All 6 Rochester Wards at 46%, Rollinsford 42%, and All 5 Somersworth Wards at 44-50%.

In Sullivan County: Only 5 of 17 or so for H
Charlestown 42.5%, all three Claremount Wards by 42%, and Newport by 39%

* Doing the county count a bit haphazardly right now.

Think of all of the psychologists that could be employed, assisting Mr. Maher.

Even in the two counties that put Hill over the top, there were still a lot of Obama townships that matched the poll results.

In Hillsborough, Obama dominated in 18
Amhers, Antrim, Bedford (a tie at 40%), Bennignton, Brookline, Deering, Francestown, Greenfield, Hancock, Hillsborough, Hollis,Mont Vernon, New Boston (now there’s an irony), Peterborough, Sharon, Temple, and Wilton all being typically the expected 35%/40%

In Rockingham,
Exeter, Greenland, Hampton Falls, New Castle,, Newfields, Newington, Newmarket, North Hampton, Portsmouth Ward 2 and Ward 5, Rye, and Stratham.

Yet another voice questioning Hillary!’s win in NH. Seems like nobody thinks she won it fair and square, no matter what their theory is.

If they are trying to cast the blame on the Republicans, then there is a very high probability that they actually did something. They always use that tactic to deflect blame from themselves.

St. John of the Cross says we tend to judge others by our own predominant fault. I find this to be a good guide.

Does someone pick peoples names up for fun or to make a subtle point.

The other day the lady speaking was something CANARY - as in singing like a canary as they tried to slime Obama with a crime.

In this article the lady is called Catherine Crier - nice bit of alliteration there - to do a bit of Crying.

So, now the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, of which, as you can see, I am a Charter Member of, is helping Hillary. Well, Holy Asbestos Underwear Batman!

“—americans have heard of

duncan hunter.”

And because of ....few have had a chance to hear Duncan Hunter.

During the FoxDebate Thompson has less than half the questions asked than McCain - Paul had more than Thompson. One count of debate time was when Thompson just ‘butted in’ so he could answer a question.

Thank you, saveliberty. I have never seen HBO. I’m sure Tony had good reasons for appearing on Bill what’s his name’s show—hopefully he at least got paid!

We love you, Tony!

One thing’s for sure - - whenever I see what the rats are throwing up there (Hillary? B. Hussein??) it makes the Republican mix of choices look not so bad.
