NH Dispatches, Day Four (delayed) — Dewey beats Truman
January 9, 2008 at 1:18 pm by Wayne GarciaAll right, so we didn’t get a dispatch yesterday from our good alt-buddies at The Weekly Dig. That doesn’t mean they didn’t file to their blog, or that they were embarrassingly wrong in predicting that Barack Obama would win and bury Hillary Clinton in a piece headlined “McCain, Obama win in New Hampshire; the rest of us lose:”
As much as I’m glad to witness the demise of Hillary Clinton, the prospect of an Obama-led general election campaign should do little to cheer us up. Though not nearly as dull as Hillary on the stump, Obama never really says anything of substance. He promises to bring “change†the status quo by “reaching out†to Republicans – an idea that, for one thing, doesn’t make much sense, as John Edwards’ has pointed out. How can any principled liberal be impressed by such bland talk as wanting to end “bipartisan bickering� Advocating “hope†and “unity†Obama has simply trotted out all meaningless cliches seen in previous election cycles. Obama is saying very little new or different than what John Kerry said and lost on in 2004.
The only remaining though admittedly far-fetched chance of stopping Obama now is if Hillary drops out of the race, which might allow the Tim Robbins and Ralph Nader-backed Edwards to effectively take Barack on by himself.
While you’re at it in NH with the Dig boys, here’s a link to the full piece they did on why you should skip voting this year all together.

Vermin Supreme Demands a Recount. Press contact: Vermin Supreme
Serious like a Dick Cheney heart attack. crazycircusdogs@yahoo.com
Republican candidate for president Vermin Supreme joined the chorus of candidates calling for a recount of the New Hampshire Primary vote, today.
On election night, Mr. Supreme encountered by chance, two, hand ballot counters from the New Hampshire town of Lyndeborough. Upon learning of Mr. Supreme’s identity , the election workers excitedly told him that they were a witness to Mr. Supreme receiving one vote in Lyndeborough. The official town and state vote tallies make no mention of this missing vote.
“These women were not joking, they appeared quite sincere. They didn’t claim dozens or hundreds of votes. No, they claimed one vote for me in their town, a number that is plausible, and consistent with voting patterns around the state.
How many other votes of mine may have turned up ‘missing’ due to ‘irregularities’?
I would have to guess up to five. The real question is how and why something like this could happen. By ,‘irregularities’, I mean some person or persons unknown, simply discarding a paper ballot with my name on it. If true it is an outrage, and an affront to my candidacy, not to mention an indication of greater vote diddling†said Mr. Supreme.
The Vermin Supreme Campain is asking the Secretary of State, Bill Gardner and the Office of Elections to investigate.
