Although Hillary Clinton is now encouraging her fellow Democrats to vote for Barack Obama, she (or at least her staff) had serious concerns about the manner in which his campaign was conducting itself in Nevada. Click on the link for the complaint that Hillary Clinton’s campaign filed against Barack Obama’s campaign for what sounds a lot like election fraud and voter intimidation.

(Complaint by the Clinton Campaign)
This letter is not intended as a response to the Obama campaign’s letter. However, in the interest of a complete record, and in contrast to the alleged minor procedural problems noted by the Obama campaign, the Committee wishes to bring to your attention information we have received evidencing a premeditated and predesigned plan by the Obama campaign to engage in systematic corruption of the Party’s caucus procedures. Compounding this blatant distortion of the caucus rules was an egregious effort by the Obama campaign to manipulate the voter registration process in its own favor, thereby disenfranchising countless voters. Finally, the Committee has received a vast number of reliable reports of voter suppression and intimidation by the Obama campaign or its allies.

Although Hillary Clinton just endorsed Obama, she was singing a very different tune during the Nevada Caucuses, in which her campaign accused the Obama campaign of what looks a lot like election fraud and voter intimidation. Please circulate THIS "endorsement" of Obama as widely as possible, because it is from his fellow Democrats.
Never beieve what they say, but you know that.
ooops believe

Democrats are abolutely baffled when people don’t vote for them. If they don’t get 100% of the vote, it’s obvious someone cheated.
Is this what the hillary folks call bringing the party together and making nice?
Just a preview of November ‘08.

Some pretty serious allegations here:
Systematic Corruption of the Party’s Caucus Procedures
The Committee received substantially similar reports of improprieties of such a number as to leave no conclusion but that the Obama campaign and its allies and supporters engaged in a planned effort to subvert the Party’s caucus procedures to its advantage. For example:
þ Preference cards were premarked for Obama.
þ Clinton supporters who arrived late were turned away from the caucus, while late Obama supporters were admitted to the caucus.
þ Clinton supporters were denied preference cards on the basis that none were left, while Obama supporters at the same caucus sites were given preference cards.
þ Caucus chairs obviously supporting Obama:
o Deliberately miscounted votes to favor Senator Obama.
o Deliberately counted unregistered persons as Obama votes.
o Deliberately counted young children as Obama votes.
o Refused to accept preference cards from Clinton supporters who were at the caucus site by noon on the ground that the cards were not filled out fast enough.
o Told Clinton supporters to leave prior to electing delegates.
Manipulation of the Voter Registration Process
Numerous reports received by the Committee demonstrate a concerted effort on the part of the Obama campaign and its supporters to prevent eligible voters supporting a candidate other than Senator Obama from caucusing. The Obama supporters complained of were acting in positions of authority at the caucus sites. Some of these reports are as follows:
þ Obama supporters wrongly informed Clinton supporters that they were not allowed to participate in the caucus if their names were not on the voter rolls. However, Obama supporters whose names did not appear on the voter rolls were permitted to register at the caucus site.
þ Obama supporters falsely informed Clinton supporters that no registration forms were available for them to register to vote at the caucus site.
þ Obama supporters wrongly told Clinton supporters who were attempting to caucus at the wrong precinct that they could not caucus at that site, while simultaneously permitting Obama supporters at the wrong precinct to participate.
þ Obama supporters were allowed to move to the front of the registration and sign-in line.
Voter Suppression and Intimidation
The Committee received a substantial number of disturbing reports from voters that they had been subject to harassment, intimidation or efforts to prevent them from voting. Some of the most egregious of these complaints are described below:
þ Voters at at-large caucus sites were informed that those sites were for Obama supporters only.
þ Clinton supporters at at-large caucus sites were told that their managers would be watching them while they caucused.
þ Workers were informed that their supervisors kept lists of Clinton and Obama supporters, and were told that they could not caucus unless their name was on the list of Obama supporters.
þ Many Clinton supporters were threatened with employment termination or other discipline if they caucused for Senator Clinton.
þ Workers were required to sign a pledge card to support Obama if they wanted time off to participate in the caucus.
þ Workers at one casino were offered a lavish lunch and permitted to attend and register to vote only if they agree to support Obama

What a bunch of thugs! If they do this to their own ....imagine what republicans will face at the polls in November.
It takes a cheat to know a cheat.
So very nice to see the dems pulling a floriduh on each other.
It’s Sore/Loserman 2000 redux.
Oh my God I know. They are scrapping the bottom of the barrel for sure. She doesn’t plan to follow through with her campaign to help Obama. She’s a flat out liar remember? It’s that EVIL smile. Get lost hilllereee...for heaven’s sakes while I know you have no grace nor dignity...try to buy some somewhere would ya? You are looking like a terrible, terrible person and NOT someone who would ever be fit to run our country. Say goodnight gracie. It’s OVER.
Re: “She doesn’t plan to follow through with her campaign to help Obama. “
The complaint was filed almost five months ago. It has just risen from the grave to haunt The Anointed One. :-)
Poor Obama is in an unenviable position in a way. Any way he goes, he stands in the way of Her Highness & Potentate Hillary Rodham Clinton. If he doesn’t tap her for the VP slot, Arkanside could be a solution (not saying who’s going to be behind it, mind you). If he does tap her for the VP slot and they win, Arkanside could be a solution (I’m still not saying who’s going to be behind it, mind you). Either way, he’s in a scary position - standing in the way of HRC the Great. (Note that she is only “suspending” her campaign.) I don’t think this country has been in a more scary position in a long time. People fairly WORSHIP those two.
Everybody who’s surprised, raise your hand.
She still can’t believe she’s out of it.
(Of course, if barryHUSSEINobamma croaks...)
