Light to moderate turnout expected in Mississippi primary

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) Mississippi's secretary of state is predicting a light to moderate turnout for today's presidential primaries.

If the prediction of 125,000 to 150,000 participants holds true for the Democratic and Republican primaries, it would only be around ten percent of registered voters.

In the past few days, Hillary CLinton, former President Bill Clinton and their daughter, Chelsea, have been campaigning across the state.

Her rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama, campaigned there yesterday.

Mississippi's 33 Democratic delegates will be awarded proportionally based on the results. The state also has seven Democratic superdelegates who can decide for themselves. Three are committed to Obama, three are uncommitted and one will be chosen at the state party convention in June.

Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very fast.

You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don't want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care. So they can make more profit for them-self.

Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama's. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!

As much as 30% of Obama's primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.

If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON'T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.

The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket now! All democrats need to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton. So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.

Fortunately the Clinton's have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton's. Only the Clinton's are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.

You should be angry America. "This is not a game" (Hillary Clinton)

Sincerely

Posted by curtis on Mar 11 2008 10:53PM - jacksmith, what is with the comment SPAM? I've seen this exact same nonsense posted by you elsewhere. Posting it lots of time doesn't make it true. By all objective measures, Obama is much more likely to win in the general election than Hillary. Don't believe me? Check out Poblano's blog at fivethirtyeight.com. Poblano lays out all the data for you in as objective of a manner as possible.

P.S. Hillary, where are those tax returns? Why do you refuse to release them like every other candidate has done?
