I no longer care.
I'm going to check the results just to see how low in the polls Ron Paul finishes tonight.
I bet the rig job the MSM reports give him no more than 3%!
Any takers?
Update: Multiple Voting Machine Problems Reported In Florida
"Romney, McCain slug it out for edge after Fla.; GOP rivals in close contest" by Michael Levenson, Globe Staff | January 29, 2008
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -
The furious sparring - in a dizzying final barrage of press conferences, automated phone calls, Internet ads, and rallies - reflected how both Mitt Romney and John McCain are seeking a win that could give them an edge heading into the crush of 21 states that hold GOP contests next Tuesday.
Romney struck first, rising before dawn to summon reporters to a Texaco station in West Palm Beach, where he assailed McCain for pushing three major bills also supported by prominent Senate Democrats.
Romney said the 2002 campaign finance law backed by McCain and Senator Russell D. Feingold of Wisconsin "hit the First Amendment" by restricting spending on political advertising. He said last year's failed immigration bill championed by McCain and Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts was an "amnesty bill" because it would have opened a pathway for illegal immigrants to become citizens. And he said a 2003 energy cap-and-trade bill backed by McCain and Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut would have increased gasoline costs for the average Florida family of four by $1,000 a year.
"If you ask people, 'Look at the three things Senator McCain has done as a senator,' if you want that kind of a liberal Democrat course as president, then you can vote for him," Romney said at a later rally in West Palm Beach. "But those three pieces of legislation, those aren't conservative, those aren't Republican, those are not the kind of leadership that we need as we go forward."
The McCain campaign responded by charging that Romney's campaign "is based on the wholesale deception of voters."
After you lied all about Mitt and Iraq, asshole?
So McCain -- the "straight talker" -- is a FUCKING LIAR, too!!!!
And the MSM doesn't call him on it?
That FRIENDLY PRESS CORP that ENDORSED HIM?!!
Pfffffffttt!
.... The McCain campaign cited Romney's onetime support for campaign finance measures, a Northeast regional cap-and-trade program, and his statement in 2005 that McCain's immigration bill was "reasonable" and "quite different" from amnesty.
"One thing we should give Governor Romney credit for: He is consistent," the Arizona senator told reporters after a visit to a shipyard in Jacksonville. "He's consistently taken both sides of every issue. He has consistently flip-flopped on every issue."
The fighting came as polls released yesterday showed McCain and Romney virtually tied in Florida, with Rudy Giuliani, who staked his candidacy on winning the state, battling for a distant third with Mike Huckabee. A representative survey by Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby showed McCain leading Romney 33 percent to 30 percent, with Giuliani at 14 percent and Huckabee at 11 percent. The poll was conducted Friday through Sunday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
No Ron Paul?
Faced with such a tight race, Romney used five rallies across the state to paint McCain as a disloyal Republican....
Ooooooh, breaking Ronald Reagan's rule is Romney?
At his first rally in West Palm Beach, Romney reminded voters that McCain reportedly considered running for vice president with Senator John F. Kerry, Democrat from Massachusetts, in 2004.
"Had someone asked me that question, there would not have been a nanosecond of thought about it. It would've been an immediate laugh," Romney said. "So, we are different. I'm conservative"
Like Bush's cousin Kerry would have been a big change!!
You see how that DemocraPic Congress we elected is working out, right, readers?
Behind the scenes, both campaigns cranked out phone calls that buttressed their arguments. Romney's camp launched automated phone calls that replayed remarks that Bill Clinton made about his wife, Hillary Clinton, in South Carolina on Friday.
"She and John McCain are very close," Bill Clinton says on the phone calls, according to the Politico website. "They always laughed that if they wound up being the nominees of their party, it would be the most civilized election in American history."
A fait accompli already, huh?
Civilized = no difference in candidates, readers!
McCain launched a Web-only ad that uses the intro music from "Masterpiece Theater" to present "A Tale of Two Mitts," a compilation of video clips showing Romney's varying statements on abortion, fealty to the Republican Party, support for gun control, and other issues. The ad ends with the message : "Mitt Romney's flip flops truly are masterpieces."
But Ron Paul and his web successes are not worth commenting on, right, shit MSM?
McCain is also airing a radio ad criticizing Romney's healthcare reform in Massachusetts, his fiscal record in the Bay State, and his proposed $20 billion research aid package for the auto industry.
The well-funded Romney campaign, however, has led the Florida ad wars, airing 4,475 television spots between March 2007 and January 2008 - well ahead of Giuliani's 3,067 ads and McCain's 470, according to The Nielsen Co. figures released yesterday."
Who really gives a shit about the "inside baseball" of AmeriKa's bullshit politics, readers?
As long as they keep reporting the "news" the way they do, I have no need to purchase or watch anymore.
Today was an exception.
And why all the press coverage when Florida's results don't count, readers?
WTF?!?!
"Florida primary results might prove difficult to ignore" by Brian C. Mooney, Globe Staff | January 29, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. - The winner of today's Republican presidential primary in Florida will walk away with 57 delegates and momentum heading into the Feb. 5 megacontest. The value of victory in the Democratic primary today will be in the eyes of the beholder and subject to all sorts of spin.
On paper, the Democratic primary is a glorified straw poll or beauty contest, with no delegates at stake and all the candidates forswearing an active campaign in Orlando. But with well over a million Democrats likely to cast ballots in a state that has already decided one recent presidential election, the results may be hard to ignore.
????
But they ignore Ron Paul everyday.
WTF?
The Democrats have shunned the Sunshine State since last year when the Democratic National Committee stripped Florida of delegates to the convention in Denver in August. That was punishment for the state Legislature moving up the primaries of both parties in violation of party-approved calendars designed to protect the early-voting status of other select states. The Republican National Committee penalty was less severe - half the delegates were stripped.
And this was gonna be Rudy's big get-back?
Pffffffftttttt!
The parties took similar actions against Michigan, which also jumped into the early window. In both scofflaw states, Republican candidates campaigned vigorously - and expensively - and Democratic candidates boycotted.
Is that a biased point of view by the Zionist press or what, readers?
"Scofflaw" states that defy the national parties and the feds?
So much for that AmeriKan MSM objectivity, huh, readers?
Pffffffttt!
"The voters are coming out and their preferences are going to be heard," said Judithanne McLauchlan, a professor of political science at University of South Florida. The absence of candidates stumping or advertising in Orlando doesn't mean there is no Democratic campaign occurring. All the candidates have volunteers working hard on their behalf, she said. "There's been a lot of activity on the ground and a ton in the air; on television, radio, and in the newspapers, it dominates the news," she said.
Clinton has led Obama by wide margins in every recent poll in Florida, but virtually all the sampling occurred before Obama's resounding victory in South Carolina Saturday. Obama's campaign has accused Clinton of injecting herself into the Florida campaign with announcements that she will work to seat the Florida and Michigan delegations at the summer convention and that she will be in Florida tonight after polls close. Clinton's campaign has accused Obama of violating the boycott pledge agreed to by all candidates when his campaign bought national cable advertising that appears in Florida.
She is fucking absolutely shameless!!
Is there NOTHING the Clinton's won't do to win an election?
The DNC stripped Florida of 210 delegates and Michigan of 156, the vast majority of which would have been allocated based on the primary results.
Yup, so YOUR VOICE DOESN'T COUNT, 'murkn, even when you DO VOTE!
Unlike Michigan, where Obama and John Edwards removed their names from the ballot and Clinton defeated "uncommitted," in Florida all the Democratic candidates' names are on today's ballot.
Under Florida's early-voting and no-excuse-needed absentee voting, turnout has been very heavy, with about one million of Florida's 10.2 million voters casting ballots before primary day.
That's how you RIG an ELECTION BEFORE-HAND!!!
Usually, Republicans see heavier turnout in early voting, but this year almost as many Democrats as Republicans have cast early ballots. Democrats hold a slight registration advantage in Florida - 4.1 million to 3.8 million.
But Republicans always seem to win Florida in November, huh?
I smell a stink, readers!
Both primaries are closed, meaning only party members may cast ballots in the presidential preference primary, but a statewide ballot question that would amend the Florida constitution and lower property taxes is clearly a factor in the high turnout. Of the more than 2.2 million Florida voters not enrolled in either major party and ineligible to vote in the presidential contests, more than 100,000 have voted early on the ballot question.
The Democratic Party of Florida believes that after one of the candidates locks up the nomination, the Florida delegation will be seated when the party convenes in Denver in late August.
"We're fully confident our delegation is going to be seated through the proper channels," said Mark Bubriski, communications director for the state party. "We expect that the nominee will seat the delegates."
So the penalties and punishment DON'T MEAN SHIT, huh?
No wonder I'm disgusted with political bullshit!
Aren't you, readers?
A spokesman for the national party said that any speculation about resolving the issue is premature. "Any issues around the seating of delegates will be resolved by the Convention Credentials Committee. The full committee has yet to be appointed and will not meet until later this summer," said DNC spokesman Damien LaVera.
Under party rules, the credentials committee will have 186 members - 25 appointed by national party chairman Howard Dean and the rest allocated based on the breakdown of delegates per state won by the candidates in each primary or caucus.
The optimism of Florida Democrats is based on the belief that the nominee will be known well in advance of the convention. But in the event of a continued close fight between Clinton and Obama with the potential of a convention fight, the issue of seating big blocs of delegates from two large battleground states could itself become a heated dispute."
A fight at the convention, huh?
Think the candiadtes will engage in actual fisticuffs, readers?
Only reason it would be worth watching; otherwise, pffffffffttttttt!!!!!
