When Hillary Clinton conceded the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama--possibly under duress from Obama's cohorts and party leaders--she was probably supposed to have removed from the Internet all damning statements that she and her campaign had made about Barack Obama. Unfortunately for Barry, a letter from her campaign counsel, which is still online at http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2008/images/01/23/nv.state.letter.1.23.08.pdf, is about to become the dreaded October Surprise. (A backup copy is now at http://www.stentorian.com/Obama/clinton_complaint.pdf). This extremely damning letter not only reinforces what is being said about ACORN, but extends allegations of election irregularities to Barack Obama's own campaign.

January 23, 2008 Jill Derby, Chair Nevada State Democratic Party 1210 South Valley View Road Suite 114 Las Vegas, NV 89102
Dear Chair Derby: I write on behalf of Hillary Clinton for President (”the Committee”) in regard to the January 19, 2008 Nevada Democ-ratic Caucus. The Committee is aware of a letter addressed to you today from the Obama for America campaign requesting an inquiry into the conduct of the caucuses. The Committee shares the Obama campaign’s concern that full participation in the democratic process may have been compromised by the substantial number of irregularities occurring at the caucuses, and we fully support a complete inquiry by the Nevada State Democratic Party (the ”Party”) into all caucus improprieties.
This letter is not intended as a response to the Obama campaign’s letter. However, in the interest of a complete record, and in contrast to the alleged minor procedural problems noted by the Obama campaign, the Committee wishes to bring to your attention information we have received evidencing a premeditated and predesigned plan by the Obama campaign to engage in systematic corruption of the Party’s caucus procedures. Compounding this blatant distortion of the caucus rules was an egregious effort by the Obama campaign to manipulate the voter registration process in its own favor, thereby disenfranchising countless voters. Finally, the Committee has received a vast number of reliable reports of voter suppression and intimidation by the Obama campaign or its allies.
The Committee had 30 phone lines on Saturday to receive calls in its Las Vegas offices. These lines rang continuously from early morning until well after the caucuses concluded with reports from people who were victimized and who observed irregularities. The phone lines were so over-whelmed that many callers resorted to calling individual Committee staff cell phones to report that they could not get through. The Committee also received many similar calls at its national headquarters.
The Committee is confident that any investigation into the conduct of the caucuses will be thorough, fair and in the interest of insuring that future Party caucuses will be as open and democratic as possible.
Systematic Corruption of the Party’s Caucus Procedures The Committee received substantially similar reports of improprieties of such a number as to leave no conclusion but that the Obama campaign and its allies and supporters engaged in a planned effort to subvert the Party’s caucus procedures to its advantage. For example:
þ Preference cards were premarked for Obama.
þ Clinton supporters were denied preference cards on the basis that none were left, while Obama supporters at the same caucus sites were given preference cards.
þ Caucus chairs obviously supporting Obama: o Deliberately miscounted votes to favor Senator Obama. o Deliberately counted unregistered persons as Obama votes. o Deliberately counted young children as Obama votes. o Refused to accept preference cards from Clinton supporters who were at the caucus site by noon on the ground that the cards were not filled out fast enough. o Told Clinton supporters to leave prior to electing delegates.
þ Clinton supporters who arrived late were turned away from the caucus, while late Obama supporters were admitted to the caucus.
Manipulation of the Voter Registration Process Numerous reports received by the Committee demonstrate a concerted effort on the part of the Obama campaign and its supporters to prevent eligible voters supporting a candidate other than Senator Obama from caucusing. The Obama supporters complained of were acting in positions of authority at the caucus sites. Some of these reports are as follows:
þ Obama supporters wrongly informed Clinton supporters that they were not allowed to participate in the caucus if their names were not on the voter rolls. However, Obama supporters whose names did not appear on the voter rolls were permitted to register at the caucus site.
þ Obama supporters falsely informed Clinton supporters that no registration forms were available for them to register to vote at the caucus site.
þ Obama supporters wrongly told Clinton supporters who were attempting to caucus at the wrong precinct that they could not caucus at that site, while simultaneously permitting Obama supporters at the wrong precinct to participate.
þ Obama supporters were allowed to move to the front of the registration and sign-in line.
Voter Suppression and Intimidation The Committee received a substantial number of disturbing reports from voters that they had been subject to harassment, intimidation or efforts to prevent them from voting. Some of the most egregious of these complaints are described below:
þ Voters at at-large caucus sites were informed that those sites were for Obama supporters only.
þ Clinton supporters at at-large caucus sites were told that their managers would be watching them while they caucused.
þ Workers were informed that their supervisors kept lists of Clinton and Obama supporters, and were told that they could not caucus unless their name was on the list of Obama supporters.
þ Many Clinton supporters were threatened with employment termination or other discipline if they caucused for Senator Clinton.
þ Workers were required to sign a pledge card to support Obama if they wanted time off to participate in the caucus. þ Workers at one casino were offered a lavish lunch and permitted to attend and register to vote only if they agree to support Obama.
The complaints summarized above represent only a small sample of the complaints received by the Committee. With respect to each of these complaints and many more, the Committee has the names and phone numbers of those reporting these incidents and the specific precinct numbers where the incidents occurred. Upon request the Committee will share these with the Party with appropriate safeguards to protect these individuals from reprisal. On the whole, these reports show a troubling effort by the Obama campaign and its allies and supporters to advance their own campaign at the expense of the right of all Nevada Democrats to participate in the democratic process in a free, fair and open manner.
Senator Clinton and the Committee are wholly committed to ensuring that every eligible voter has his or her vote cast and counted. There is no place in the American electoral process for the types of voter suppression, intimidation and harassment systematically engaged in by the Obama campaign, its allies and supporters. Sincerely, /v Lyn Utrecht Counsel Hillary Clinton for President
Barack did coke.
Obomba plays HARDBALL.
Crooked Clintons meet crooked Obama.
Cry me a river.
WTH I forgot all about this going on in the primarys.
This is exactly what I’ve been reading and hearing from PUMAs over the last two months.
þ Many Clinton supporters were threatened with employment termination or other discipline if they caucused for Senator Clinton.
? Hmm..
This is what white union members will have to look forward to if Obama wins? Unemployment? ACORN cronies will replace them at plum union jobs.
The Clinton (moderate) Dem Party will cease to exist. It will be the ACORN/SEIU Obama Dem Party.
Easiest way for moderate/Clinton/white Dems to fix this? In the privacy of a polling booth by voting for McCain.
If Hillary wants to run in 2012 she and or Bill are going to have to come out and virtually endorse John McCain.
Yeah but then how do you run AGAINST McCain if you’ve endorsed him before? Oh wait, the MSM will make us all forget about it.
“Call me when you get it all worked out.”

********************
They’re going to have to do a better job than they’ve done recently of convincing people they are against Obama. Lately it seems to me they are more onboard for fauxbama than before. I was hoping for the opposite.
This shoudn’t surprise anyone.
The AR. mafia battled the IL. mafia, and guess what?, the mafia won.
It will be fun to see if the msms do anything with this. What a bunch of cannibals.
An October Surprise is worthless if not widely spread in the MSM. Thus October Surprises benefit only Democrats.What good is an O.S. detrimental to Hussein if no one who might vote for him even hears about it?
She is running against Dean Heller on November 4th. I have THREE McCain/Palin signs and one Dean Heller. He has my vote hands down.
She came by the booth our church had at a local street festival. She was dressed up like a cowgirl and she stopped to have her picture taken with our miniature horse.
bttt
So why is Hillary campaigning side by side with 0bama and saying such nice things? If all these PUMAs really are so ticked off, I don’t understand why 90+ percent of Dems (IF you believe polls) say they are for 0bama.
RE: “If some really, really, really damning information about Obama were to come out first, that would open the door.”
**************
That damning info had best come to light ASAP since we are just two weeks from 11/4 now and early voting is a reality.
Whoa! Bookmarked.
All well and good- except for one thing. As I type, Hillary and Obama are getting ready to get on stage here in Orlando to campaign together.
I’ll tell you what- if we get an October Surprise- terrific- but meanwhile we can’t let up or quit.
Our country depends on US. Our kids, our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren.
You could have video of BHO murdering a homeless person and it still wouldn’t matter. The media will just ignore it.
Pikers (Slick and Mrs Slick) from the Arkansas Mafia never stood a chance against the real pros from the Chicago Mafia.

Viral E-mail. Blogs. Letters to the editor.
Easy. Come out and say what a good job he's done but he's even more ancient and decrepit than he was 4 years ago. Sure, Palin is there waiting in the wings but she still doesn't have the experience and she just doesn't have the class and sophistication for the job of POTUS like Hill does. Hill will be all for reaching across the aisle (reminisces of "it takes a village") and we'll all got to pull together to get this nation back on track.
The Clintons will “discover” something about Obama that totally shocks them and being such ethical people, they will be unable to continue to support him.
Democrats re-elected Marion Barry after he got caught on tape smoking crack. Now they are looking forward to having a crackhead president.
Must be Odingleberries.
Never misunderestimate the Clintons.
Well it’s still October - so still time for the “surprise”
‘You could have video of BHO murdering a homeless person and it still wouldn’t matter. The media will just ignore it.’
No, they’d call it ‘negative’ campaigning.
And a bunch of inside-baseball legal mumbo-jumbo is supposed to un-convince a bunch of people who plan to vote for Obama because he got a nice voice and will “change stuff”???
Dream on.
The media did an outstanding job of keeping the proletariat informed, didn’t they?
I have to respectfully disagree!
They are just pretending right now that they are fully in Nobama Hussein's corner, so that they later not can be accused of being racists, playing their cards safely!!
Bill Clinton was accused of being racist in N.C. I am sure they are behind Mr. Berg's lawsuit and they can sit quietly washing their hands like Pilate, when everything comes crashing down on Nobama, DNC, Diana Feinsteine, Pelosi, Howeird Dean and whole lot other of democRATs soon or later. Interesting (?) times to live in!!!
LOL!!!!!! But I'll be crying soon because it is true.
Imagine Obama losing and then he has to spend the next four years in the Senate with Hillary.
Now that would be worth the price of admission.
I have seen that the PUMAs are all telling pollsters that they support the 0ne when they don't. I just don't know how many are out there. I do know, however, that Hillary got 18 million votes and many, many of her supporters are rabid activist types. They could be a surprise sleeper cell for McCain and Palin come voting time if they are of sufficient numbers...
Has anyone sent this link to that letter:
to FOXNEWS anchors;
Hannity@foxnews.com
Oreilly@foxnews.com
Americasnewsroom@foxnews.com
Ureport@foxnews.com
fox&friends@foxnews.com
With ACORN being news on every show on fox it might get some traction if done soon?
They’re doing it to McCain/Palin now.
Did’t the Service Workers Union cause problems for Hillary in Vegas?
