why has Blanche Lincoln won the primary?
   
Is this an open primary where Republicans and/or independents can vote in a Dem. primary?

I'm so pissed.

2. One of her DLC lietenants kept dozens of polling places CLOSED.
   In Halter friendly areas, naturally.

Or in other words, the DLC stole it.

Everytime they lose someone had to cheat, it's never their ideology being rejected by the voters!

Being a liberal means never having to say, "I was wrong."  Or, "I lost."  Or, "I'm sorry."

Remember all the claptrap about an apology from the U.S. for slavery?  Well, it turns out that one of the three founding planks of the Democrat Party was the continuation and expansion of slavery.  Not sure if they ever apologized for that.

[Ballygrl]

They're very upset, awwwwwwwww, there are several threads going on about it, they're saying an area, I think Hot Springs where Halter had a lot of support, they had 42 polling places normally, but this time they had only 2

All I ever hear from the DUmmies anymore is;

"Wolf ..... WOlf .... WOLf ...... WOLF!!!!"

We all know how that story ends.

Where is TIA when you need him?

They're doing that annoying thing again...not reading the replies.  Several DUmmies give reasons and responses other than just cheating, all largely the same.  Bill Clinton, more conservative type Demos, etc.  30 posts into the thread, this guy says:

30. I don't understand it either Shireen
 And I guarantee you that I'm equally as pissed as you

Of course, fat Hawkeye X, the SSI fraudster, says:

6. Hooten should proceed with the lawsuit and request an emergency order invalidating the election result and finally force a do-over in the entire state of Arkansas at Lincolns' expense (since this was her fault that she could not win without cheating)

   

[Celtic Rose]

So, the DUmmies are actually saying that they think a Democrat won by cheating?

But apparently Lincoln is a DLC Dem, so that makes her just as bad as a conservative according to DUmmy logic.

I've never seen a donk do it any other way.

So if the meltdown over Lincoln is slightly crazy, then when they lose major elections I take it that it's epic?

November 2004 was absolutely hilarious.  Kerry wasn't necessarily their favorite of the Dem candidates (Dean & Clark were the more popular Dems), but they were heartbroken when he lost.  Plus, many of them were declaring voter fraud immediately.  It was so funny to read the DUmp that election year.

I was on a message board with a small political section when Bush won in 2004, we ended up hanging out in our little conservative forum because it was ridiculous how the left was acting, I can imagine it then on a much larger scale.

I used to post some DU compliation threads (there are a few in the DUmping Ground).  I have one saved on another computer with 2004 election prediction threads and then the aftermath.  Sometime soon, I'll see if I can resurrect it for you.  It's so funny to read their guarantees and predictions, then the whining and gnashing of teeth afterwards.

If you ever get the chance to see the movie Left of the Dial, an HBO documentary about the early days of Air America, do so.  They go through election night 2004 and the bitter tears of the like of Garlafalo and others who's names have been lost to time, is so sweet and hilarious.

That would be awesome if you posted that!

I'm not sure I can sit through something like that, I liked Jeanine at 1 time before she became so political, I can't stand her now.

It may be a few days, but I'll get it posted.

Do you have some threads from just before? I remember seeing all kinds of gloating and celebration threads, even as late as early that morning. Then as the day went on, ecstasy turned to uncertainty, uncertainly turned to worry, worry turned to panic, panic turned to stunned disbelief, and stunned disbelief turned to just plain disbelief mixed with despair, with a lot of rage thrown in.

IIRC, I have three compilation threads that I originally posted at CU.  They contain all of the above, HFB.

Seems to me their angst grows by the hour.

They're feeding on each other.

And their "hare"-brained solution (no offense Mr. SB) is to have candidates that are further to the left.

I checked his site as well as PI -- no mention of fraud yet..
Though, I suspect there won't be, as Lincoln was both Obama & Clinton's pick..

Indeed - there will be meltdowns - Also, expect the DU DEFCON rating to explode - such that only people with active mole accounts will be able to read messages there for a time afterward.
