TALES FROM THE FRONT

Approximately a year ago thousands of committed volunteers attended “Camp Obama,” a four-day indoctrination program, geared at teaching pre-screened Obama volunteers grass roots organizational strategies.   The training, which specifically focused on the caucus states, taught volunteers to be “ruthless,” “take risks,” and win at all costs. Obama’s campaign and Camp Obama’s strategy which focused on the vulnerable caucuses and the early primaries worked.  Obama only lost 1 out of 14 caucuses, a staggering achievement, especially when he lost 21 out of 38 primaries and scored a statistical tie in popular vote.   How did he accomplish such an astonishing string of victories that would eventually define the Democratic Primary?  At www.caucusanalysis.org, a new website devoted exclusively to the 2008 Democratic caucuses, you can read Tales from the Front, stories told to sites founder, Dr. Lynette Long, by participants in all 14 caucus states.  Here are excerpts from  the website. For complete statements and a mathematical analysis of each state, go to www.caucusanalysis.org.

FROM IOWA

I live in Davenport, Iowa - Precinct 23.  I arrived at our precinct caucus at 6:30.  At 6:50 pm, over 75 people of African American descent came walking in, past the tables and sat in the Obama section.  I knew one of them from my canvassing.  I knew another one who did not live in this precinct!  And aside from the 4 or 5 families that live on Hillandale Road, there are no other black people in this unusually white precinct and one of those black couples were in my Hillary section.  The results were Obama 3, Clinton, 2, Edwards 1!  It was impossible for me to argue since the precinct chair was an Obama supporter from another precinct.  A very large bus was seen in the parking lot afterwards carrying these folks back.

FROM IOWA

You probably have heard about the busloads coming in from over the IL border, but you may not have known about the busloads coming in from the NE border. North Omaha and Omaha itself are two of the three places in NE -- Lincoln being the third -- where there's over 5% African-American population. Obama's campaign offered people things like I-pods and free stuff-- t-shirts, clothes, shoes, and at least two free meals on the Nebraska side.

FROM KANSAS

There were a lot of young people there and a lot of black people.  We do not have that many blacks in this county.  El Dorado is a small town of about 12,000 and it is the largest town in the county.  There are probably only a handful of blacks that live in El Dorado.  I work with the school district and travel to the high school, middle school and elementary schools and believe me, there are very, very, few  black students.

FROM MINNESOTA

There was NO voter registration for the MN caucus... no identification was checked so Obots were going from room to room voting over and over again giggling all the while doing it. 

FROM NEVADA

Throughout this mess of a process, hostility built to a degree I found truly alarming.  Some overenthusiastic BHO supporters formed a gauntlet in the hallway outside the registration area, on the way to the ballroom, within the zone in which campaigning was prohibited.  Any HRC supporter was subject to verbal abuse, ridicule and, eventually, physical assault.

FROM NEBRASKA

Nebraska was totally chaotic and each precinct location had a different way to do the caucus. In Nebraska, 18 precincts where crammed into one high school in Sarpy county. When I got there, it felt like I stepped into a Third World voting situation. They were trying to determine whether people could actually participate in the caucuses or not, and then it seemed like they just gave up on that and just let anyone participate. There was a gym at the high school where about 5 precincts met. A person was supposed to fill out their preference on a slip of paper and then turn it in. They tried to run it like a primary instead of a true caucus, just take out any semblance of order and guards against voter disenfranchisement that a normal primary would have. I found a pile of these preferences slips just sitting on a table where anyone could pick them up and fill them out.

FROM TEXAS

I was at the Texas Caucus and the Obama supporter’s took the Packets as early as 6:30 AM which they were told not to do, They never let go and then when time came to vote they took over the precinct by some of them pushing the people that were supposed to run it across the room to chairs. They called in incorrect totals for Obama instead of correct ones. He actually had 4 delegates and they called in 19 delegates.

When my 88 year old Mother showed up, who can hardly walk on her walker, and they took her walker away from her when she said she was there to vote for Hillary. They said you are in the wrong place old woman; this is an Obama precinct, and you need to go across town. When I saw what was happening I called the police.  Blog post no quarter evelyn

FROM TEXAS

As an eye witness at the Precinct and Senate District Conventions, this is how Obama won many caucuses. First of all, vast numbers of Obama supporters were bused in to the conventions. They were loud and intimidating. Texas Democratic rules state that each person who participates in the Precinct Convention should have voted in this precinct and sign-in personally on a formal sign-in sheet. So many Obama people showed up, that there were not enough sign-in sheets available, so when the conventions ended, there were many sign-in sheets for Obama filled out in the same handwriting, not signed-in as specified. As Hillary supporters, we obtained copies of these sign-in sheets from all over south Texas, Harris County in particular. We laboriously compared the names on the sheets to see if the person who attended the precinct convention had voted in the primary election. Many listed Obama people had not. We then cross-checked the names of the Obama people to see if they lived in the correct precinct. Many times the Obama people did not come to the correct precinct and often appeared on sign-in sheets, as being present in several precinct conventions at the same time (a violation of the space-time continuum).

FROM THE TEXAS CONVENTION

I walked into the Nueses,Texas County Convention only to discover that I was already there as an Obama delegate.

FROM THE TEXAS CONVENTION

They shoved Obama signs in Clinton delegates' faces, three inches from the nose, called them racists, and told my friend that she had to move from her third-row seat in one meeting and go sit in the back.  She also said that the proceedings were heavily laced with black power speeches by preachers as well as public officials.

FROM WASHINGTON STATE

What I saw was at least 3 trained group agitators -- Since my MA is in group dynamics and group facilitation I recognized when someone is using techniques that I have been trained in. If such individuals were planted in ALL precincts, along with bringing in ringers -- then ALL caucus results are bogus. For this sort of intensive origination to take place in a rural area -- this means that a vast amount of money was spent to manipulate the results of the caucus. The Obama supporters kept changing the number of delegates -- subtracting Clinton delegates and increasing Obama delegates, each time they claimed someone had changed and they had to do "complicated" math and that's why Clinton kept losing delegates. There were NO Clinton supporters checking the Obama "math".

Hello, my fellow Americans!

It is in dismay that I look upon you, in dismay that ignorance and prejudice now rule in this land that has done so much to advance the dignity of the single human being.

You people are even more dishonest then John McCain, whose policy from the looks of things is the distribution of falsehoods, about his and Obama's positions, about his record, about the fundamentals of economics, etc.

Like McCain, you are also a bunch of silly fear-mongers. Scary black people are out for your white blood. Oooooh; they've been trained in deception and dangerous arts. Indoctrinated...Yeah, that's exactly how it happens. Wonder how no else has ever noticed it all? I guess they're just not on the same stuff you're on.

Also, where do these alleged hostile voters come from? Don't they have their own precincts to vote in? Wouldn't Obama need them there?

This is a big bombshell - Yesterday suit filed in Fed. Court in Philadelphia - Obama constitutionally ineligible for presidency.

It's amazing to read all of these and realize I wasn't the only one who thought something was odd at the caucus site. There's no other way to say it--my precinct has like two black people total. We're white, suburban, upper middle class and I am not ashamed to say it. But I walked into the elementary school that night and more than half the room were strangers, mostly black. The other half were people I (not surprisingly) already knew. None of us could figure out where these people lived. We tried to make polite conversation (who knows, maybe they were new neighbors), but I was met with vague responses, tons of evasiveness, and not a little bit of rudeness. I am not claiming to know what happened, but I do know my precinct and I do know to listen to instincts every now and then.

The DNC doesn't care or they would have done something. It's not like they didn't know I was emailing them everyday about it.

PS Jean is an idiot.

[What Suddenly]

Thanks for providing this information. It is so important for these stories to be heard!

[Phishmelt]

silly, the DNC was the fraud. who else could send in a bunch of rowdy people to scream at parents and grandparents. Stretch out the time by hours (1 went over 14 hours), stuff ballot boxes, fill up halls from out of state. but mostly the screaming 'o ba ma' 'yes we can' over and over again until people left. they definately didn't let any hillary supporters even talk at some of these. hanging out around the bathrooms taunting any hillary supporters.

superdelegates, its still not too late to put our best candidate first.

[Linda]

has the DNC made ANY attempt to investigate the fraud?

[Still4Hill]

The stories just keep leaking in. When I heard the first few accounts (back in February), I was angry. But some of these comments are downright scary. I lived in Haiti. These "campers" sound like the tontons macoutes in one account. In other accounts they sound, I dunno - like The People's Temple in Guyana? The Moonies? OH! I KNOW I KNOW!! The Red Guard! This whole process is shockingly Un-American. It makes Nixon's Plumbers look like...well...plumbers. God help us!
