It may have been rigged. I read somewhere that 250,000 Obama votes were "discounted" in California. Bigger states may have been subject to the big fix. For references, check Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004. Or check out www.blackboxvoting.org

Yes, it was a bit of a bummer, but don't be too disappointed. Obama did very well overall. He didn't have to beat Clinton yesterday nationally; he just had to keep it close. And he did better than keep it close. Check out my post about what the rest of the month holds in store to brighten your spirits:

Shut up BionicSoy, and don't spread rumors about something that you "read somewhere". Voter fraud is a serious charge, and you shouldn't be accusing anyone of it, least of all fellow Democrats, without solid evidence. I wanted Obama to win as much as anyone, but I don't jump to the conclusion that the vote was rigged just because it didn't go the way I wanted it to.
