Ohio Edwards Supporters Phonebanking For...Edwards?
From one of my sources:
"...got a phonebank from john edwards' supporters last night. they are telling people that a vote for edwards will still count and he will get delegates if he pulls 5% in ohio. that would, they say, give him more bargaining power at the convention."
The claim is actually false. Per the Ohio Delegate Selection Plan, candidates need to break a 15% threshold barrier to obtain any delegates on our proportional system. Still, if Johnny E's supporters are still pushing him, it could have an impact on the total vote tally on which the percentages are based. I'd love to hear whether Mark Adams, everyone's favorite Ohio Edwards supporter/blogger knows anything about this one.
UPDATE: Apparently these calls were targeted in central Ohio.
No way would Edwards do a stupid thing like this. Some one needs to send it to Edwards and also to the Obama campaign NOW.
Clinton is so low and so desparate. She is hurting herself more than any one ---- except the party.
Do you have ANY evidence that this is coming from the Clinton campaign? (No, you don't.)
This is the most ridiculous kind of smear I've seen. Without any evidence, you speculate that this MUST be the work of the Clinton campaign and Mark Penn specifically. Then, based on your own speculative allegation, you convict the Clinton campaign and then condemn them for doing what you have completely conjured up they did.
You should be a judge for the military commissions in Gitmo. You'd fit in there well, judge/jury/executioner.
someone needs to get this info to the Obama campaign.
And you youngsters need to remember this for when it is shown wrong and maybe you will recognize a dirty trick when you see it.
There is no logic to this. It is a smear on Edwards supporters to think that they are dumb enough to think that this would help Edwards in any way.
This is just like the Muslim smears; if they can knock off a % or 2 of Obama's vote, they think they will win.
Rove was effective because he didn't leave trails of proof.
Clinton has worked harder at hiding after her first crude tactics just got her static.
Idiots, ask yourself who could this possibly benefit?
