From our own Dr Fis­cher an excel­lent break­down of the New Hamp­shire pri­mary elections…

It defies logic and science:

Zogby poll done Jan 5–7:
Clin­ton 29%
Obama 42%
Edwards 17%
Richard­son 5%
Kucinich 2%
Unde­cided 5%

Elec­tion Results
Clin­ton 39%
Obama 36%
Edwards 17%
Richard­son 5%
Kucinich 1%
Uncounted 2%

The polls for Edwards, Richard­son and Kucinich were spot on. But the Clinton/Obama polls were “off” by 16 per­cent­age points! Impos­si­ble! Never hap­pen! No way!

Clinton’s advi­sors expected her to come in sec­ond again, and were plan­ning on con­ced­ing the next two pri­maries to work on super Tues­day, Feb 5th, when there are 22 pri­maries. But, dan­ged if she didn’t pull of a “shock­ing” win! Woo! Woo!

Let’s look at the Repub­li­cans’ numbers:

Zogby Poll of Jan 5 –7
McCain 36%
Rom­ney 27%
Huck­abee 10%
Giu­liani 9%
Paul 9%
Thomp­son 2%
Hunter 1%
Unde­cided 5%

Elec­tion Results
McCain 37%
Rom­ney 31%
Huck­abee 11%
Giu­liani 9%
Paul 8%
Thomp­son 1%
Hunter 1%
Uncounted 2%

Rom­ney picked up 4 per­cent­age points (prob­a­bly from the unde­cided vot­ers) and the rest are within 1 per­cent of the poll. Noth­ing unusual there. The poll was right on, again!

How do the media explain what is being called an “amaz­ing,” “sur­pris­ing,” “star­tling,” “stun­ning,” vic­tory? Why, it was Billary’s near-tear moment that showed a softer, more human side of the ice­berg lady. It was the inde­pen­dent vot­ers (sorry not enough of those). It was the unde­cided vot­ers, old-line Democ­rats, women vot­ers… blah, blah, blah.…

What is NOT being men­tioned is that three-quarters of the votes were counted on Diebold op-scan machines — the exact same ones that were hacked in the HBO doc­u­men­tary, Hack­ing Democ­racy. Not men­tioned is that the results were tal­lied and the records kept and made unre­cov­er­able by LHS Asso­ciates, whose owner John Sil­ver­stro, has been the sub­ject of numer­ous voter fraud inves­ti­ga­tions by inde­pen­dent researchers.

But, that’s not the end of the story. The media was claim­ing it was “do-or-die” for Bil­lary. All would be lost if she didn’t win in New Hamp­shire. But, in actual num­ber of del­e­gates Clin­ton is in the lead with 187 del­e­gates, to Obama’s 89 del­e­gates, and Edwards with 50 del­e­gates. There have only been two pri­maries. Where did all those other del­e­gates come from? The are the so-called “super-delegates,” sep­a­rately cho­sen party and elected offi­cials! So, what are the pri­maries all about? Sym­bolic pol­i­tics! The pri­maries are a con job to draw atten­tion away from the cor­po­rate élite’s con­trol of the Amer­i­can polit­i­cal system.

I hate to be an I-told-you-so, but for a year or more I’ve been telling every­one that the elec­tions are a fraud worked on the Amer­i­can pub­lic, and that Bil­lary is going to be the next pres­i­dent. It just that no one can actu­ally believe that’s true. Not in Amer­ica! It can’t hap­pen here! There is a great line from Grou­cho Marks, when he is caught in the bed­room of an old battleaxe’s pretty young daugh­ter. He asks the furi­ous woman, “Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?”

Who are you going to believe: the media, or your own eyes?

Two ques­tions: Why did Obama con­cede the pri­mary so quickly? (Shades of John Kerry and Al Gore!) And, who rigged the results? Would it be the Demo­c­ra­tic Cen­tral Com­mit­tee, because it was do-or-die? The Repub­li­cans, because they want to run against beat­able Bil­lary? Or, is it all one big fraud with both par­ties just coop­er­at­ing com­po­nents of the big scam? I’d say the latter.

About one-quarter of the New Hamp­shire votes were hand counted. It will be very inter­est­ing to com­pare the hand counted votes with those “counted” by the Diebold op-scan machines. Let’s watch for that com­par­i­son. It will tell us what hap­pened in New Hampshire.

Also, from Mark Crispin Miller —

Gee, he thinks Hillary won for real! And he can’t pos­si­bly have had a thing
to do with those machine votes in New Hamp­shire. After all, he left the White House!
He’s just a pri­vate citizen!

Let’s talk a bit about the pos­si­bil­ity that the Repub­li­cans fixed the NH pri­mary.
How far-fetched is that idea? Well, those of you who know a lit­tle his­tory will
recall that, way back in 1072, Richard Nixon had these guys, like Don­ald Seg­retti
–“rat­fuck­ers,” they called themselves–out there on the cam­paign trail harass­ing
old Ed Muskie. (Muskie finally melted down, remem­ber, in New Hamp­shire.) Their
goal was to rav­age his cam­paign, so as to pave the way for George McGov­ern, whom
they were rightly con­fi­dent they could anni­hi­late in the election.

They got their wish. And the Demo­c­ra­tic Party helped, in its own way, because
they didn’t lift a fin­ger for McGov­ern, who was not one of them, and so they
sat hard on their hands until he went down in a Nixon/Agnew landslide.
