GARY, Ind. — It was midnight and the nation was still awaiting results from the Indiana primary, one of the biggest remaining prizes of the epic Democratic presidential battle between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

But as the clock ticked, the questions and accusations grew louder: What was wrong in Lake County? Was this more politics as usual in a county often suspected of harboring Chicago-style corruption?

Lake County’s history of corruption raised concerns that something more suspicious had gone wrong.

In 1962, Attorney General Robert Kennedy called Lake County one of the most corrupt counties in the nation. In 2004, the state Supreme Court tossed out a mayoral election in East Chicago because of campaign misconduct that resulted in dozens of voter-fraud convictions.

It would appear to a casual observer that the Democrats had decided on a nominee long before the election process got started. Changing state primaries to an earlier date to get Obama off to a quick start and disallowing two major states like Florida and Michigan seems to me to be an attempt to rig an election.
The whole democrat process of nominating a candidate seems to me to be a bit shady. Super delegates are there to do just that DECIDE on a candidate regardless of the voters wishes.
Wasn’t it the Democrats who in 2000 were crying about ALL VOTES counting in Florida? And now the same people are crying that Florida votes do not count?
Does this mean Obama would be an illegitimate candidate? After all he does not have enough delegates to have actually won, therefore someone is going to MAKE him win.
Me thinks Ms Pelosi wants to be the Big Mamma in charge. Perhaps there is not enough room in the democrat kitchen for 2 women. What say you?
