Retards and Recounts: Welcome to New Hampshire.

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

I heard the complaints start up almost immediately after the polls closed in Iowa. People bitching that Ron Paul had been screwed. That a recount was needed. As it normally has gone a majority of Americans ignored them and we moved on with our lives. Moved on to New Hampshire.
There we had a bit of a surprise. Against all predictions, including mine, Clinton won. Some say it was because she cried, some point out that the pollsters were wrong. Either way, she won in New Hampshire. The margin of victory was so small that they actually were each awarded 9 delegates. So in reality it was a tie. Simple enough right?
Nope.
Another call for a recount.
It started on the tinfoil hat blogs of the Ron Paul whackjobs and the 9/11 conspiracy idiots. Slowly like a virus it spread. It actually made it out of the crazy sector and into the main stream news.
A recount in New Hampshire. Bought and paid for by Kucinich.

Conspiracy rumors were fueled because Clinton did better in precincts where ballots were counted by machine while Obama did better where ballots were counted by hand.

Damnit. The robots are supporting Clinton? Fucking Skynet.
I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.

And then there were three…
Bill Richardson

After a poor showing in New Hampshire Richardson has dropped out of the race. I’m going to miss that guy. He really seemed like that crazy uncle that let you have a sip of his beer when you were 12. Sadly that sort of persona probably won’t get you elected. Forget that he, not Clinton, had the most political experience of the whole damn bunch. So all those people that were supporting Clinton over Obama citing experience as their main reason, you should have really done a little more research before latching on to Clinton.
Then again, we all know that people in this country don’t like to educate themselves on their candidates before voting. And that my friends, explains all the Ron Paul supporters.
