Default Obama get NOBODYS vote in Harlem???

Gotta love them Clintons!
From the NY Times:

Black voters are heavily represented in the 94th Election District in Harlem’s 70th Assembly District. Yet according to the unofficial results from the New York Democratic primary last week, not a single vote in the district was cast for Senator Barack Obama.

That anomaly was not unique. In fact, a review by The New York Times of the unofficial results reported on primary night found about 80 election districts among the city’s 6,106 where Mr. Obama supposedly did not receive even one vote, including cases where he ran a respectable race in a nearby district.
City election officials this week said that their formal review of the results, which will not be completed for weeks, had confirmed some major discrepancies between the vote totals reported publicly — and unofficially — on primary night and the actual tally on hundreds of voting machines across the city.
In the Harlem district, for instance, where the primary night returns suggested a 141 to 0 sweep by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, the vote now stands at 261 to 136. In an even more heavily black district in Brooklyn — where the vote on primary night was recorded as 118 to 0 for Mrs. Clinton — she now barely leads, 118 to 116.

i dont think either of them are going to win the election. While obama speaks well and represents change change change...he doesnt actually have any policies to see it out. he acknowledges the war will be ended and border control is an issue...but never actually says what his policies or views are to seem them out. The only thing i could see with obama winning is higher taxes and decreased national defence. inconjuction with pulling out of iraq prematurely i am sure this will lead to another significant terrorist attack.

I totally agree how can people throw all this support behind candidates in primary elections when they dont even know the hidden agenda..

Couple views on this:

The whole thing with obama not getting crap for votes in NYC, that sounds as shady as the florida election that got bush in office the first time..... or am I the only one that recalls that?

Am I the only one that thinks that if either hillary or obama get elected that there is most certainly a chance that they may join a club that a couple former presidents are members of, if they even make it to the white house after the election? I've heard this same thing a couple times now, once in line at a store between a couple people, the other night at a gas station as well, not sure if I missed a news story or something

I couldn't agree more, we have a old war-monger in mccain, a woman that will certainly cause taxes and intrest rates to skyrocket as she sneds more $ to **** poor 3rd world countries then the us ever has, or obama that well, we don't really know what he will do other then change things, how and in what direction, we have no idea.


Yup, I hate to say it, but moving to canada is looking better and better

First off the debate of puerto rico's independence goes on to this day, The puerto rican people have voted against it several time, but have also voted against statehood. I highly doubt thtat this incident of a "small" group of terrorist who wanted total independence would reflect the majority of puertoricans view. Most puerto ricans dont even know about this incident, so how could this influence the majority of latino voters. The only reason i know of this event is because i am a history buff. I am puerto rican and i would rather eat **** before i voted for hillary clinton. As far as i know bill didnt do anything for me. I cant say i didnt like him though. As for his wife, She can eat ****.

Default Clintons back on the job!

Sounds like the work of the Clintons again! They use "street money" to buy votes, from their campaign fund. Back when Bill was running for president, they had people driven to the polls by passenger vans in the cities like Hartford. And, somehow, these people just happen to get free cigarettes, groceries and beer after they placed their vote for Clinton. When Bill won, a lot of these people received more gifts on their doorstep too! A lot of these tactics occurred overtly and covertly. The Clintons are specialists when it comes to spending "street money" ,in the cities, on minorities.

Please tell me you don’t actually believe this happened...This is just propaganda at its finest. To actually sway a vote in a method like this you would have to spend 10's of millions of dollars all across the country. Do you really think that would go unnoticed by the media? Don’t believe everything you read.
