  enough!

  Alright, can we lay this tinfoil hat "Republicans are engaged in a massive conspiracy to get Obama the nomination because he's weaker" garbage to bed yet?

  First, do you have ANY idea how hard it is to engineer something of this scale? I'll give you a simple comparison - ever tried to rig an online popularity vote? It's damn hard to do all by yourself...I mean even without any safeguards in place, you can sit there and click and click and click away and you make barely a dent. But you'll have me believe that there's literally tens of thousands of angry white men (in each separate state mind you...so that would make hundreds of thousands countrywide) that are sitting at home, just waiting for the message from central command to go out and muck up the other side's primaries? Don't you think any sort of concerted effort (and it would have to be concerted to make any sort of difference) would leave, oh I don't know, a paper-trail of some sort? That there wouldn't be at least one anonymous source tipping off the media or the Democratic leadership?

  Second, in the unlikely case that there is some vast right wing conspiracy (where've we heard THAT phrase before...hmmm?) to nominate Obama it really REALLY doesn't matter. Remember ALOT more people vote in the general election, and even if the Obama Republicans go back to McCain, their numbers will easily be made up for by others.

  let's ditch that asinine fable please...you insult the intelligence of everyone here.
