counted results. Clearly, something is suspect. Indeed, there was enough warning ahead of time that Hillary was going
to lose, and lose big. This would propel her descent into oblivion, from her current position where she was already
teetering on the brink. It is not by accident that the same voter fraud techniques used to assure Bush the Presidency in
2000 and 2004 were used to assure Hillary a win in the New Hampshire primary. She has been accused by Obama of
being "Bush Lite", in that she is cooperative with the lobbyists, and voted to give Bush the powers he wanted in both
Iraq and now Iran. The Clintons have thrown in with the Bush family, agreeing to support each other, which should
come as no surprise if one has watched the news - George Herbert Bush and Bill Clinton, together in Indonesia after
the devastating quake in Christmas, 2004. So much camaraderie after so many years as opponents.
Will the Democratic primary then be fixed? Not hardly. The Puppet Master, who desires the Bush/Cheney
administration to be politically decapitated, is hardly interested in a replacement crew. He wanted Kerry to win, and
Bush stole the election, so retaliated by ensuring that the 2006 election was in accordance with the wish of the people.
He wants the US out of the Middle East, so the oil fields can be protected by whomever emerges as the dominant
power there. He wants Bush contained, and does not want a proxy setup as a puppet of Bush. He will now intervene,
we predict, in the manner he did in 2006, to ensure valid elections. Obama appears to him as someone with whom he
can negotiate, someone with whom he can find common interests such as preserving the economy and sustaining
industrial capacity. His monitors knew voter fraud was a possibility, per our warnings, but did not act in time. They
won't be taken by surprise a second time, we predict.
NH Primary: Pre-Election Polls Wildly Different Than Results Announced for Clinton/Obama
January 9, 2008
http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5530
The way the ballots are counted in New Hampshire, largely on Diebold optical-scan voting systems,
wholly controlled and programmed by a very very bad company named LHS Associates. The pre-
election pollster's numbers were dead-on, for the most part, on the Republican side, as well as on
the Democratic side. Except in the do-or-die (for Hillary) Clinton v. Obama race. As you'll note, the
numbers in Zogby's latest polls, for all but Clinton and Obama, seem to have been dead-on the
money for both the Republicans and Democrats. Edwards, for example, was polled at 17% in
Zogby's poll, and he received exactly 17% in the MSNBC numbers, with 63% of precincts reporting.
So are we to believe that only those voters who preferred Obama previously, decided to change to
Hillary at the last minute? Some 40% of New Hampshire's precincts are hand-counted, which
equals about 25% of the votes. All the rest are counted on hackable Diebold op-scan systems, with
completely hackable memory cards, all programmed and managed by LHS Associates. As Bev
Harris of BlackBoxVoting.org who seems to share my concern, says, LHS is the "chain of custody"
in New Hampshire elections.

ZetaTalk: McCain's Chances
written August 2, 2008.
Gallup Daily: August 2, 2008
http://www.gallup.com/poll/109180/Gallup-Daily-McCain-Obama-Remain-Tied.aspx
McCain, Obama Remain Tied. Each receives 44% of vote in latest update.
What are McCain's chances? He will lose, and lose big, though until the general electorate get involved in September
and October the polls won't show this. There is a gap on undecideds, and when they choose at the last minute, that will
make the difference. Nothing will change with the candidates but their basic profiles will get more extreme and
obvious as time passes and the stress of campaigning continues. There are several reasons for this:
Economy
The well known thesis that a president and an economy in the toilet will cause a shift in what party
is in the White House will hold true. Both Bush's unpopularity and the worsening economy will only
help Obama as the date of the general election nears. Nothing will change for the current White
House between now and then, and there is nothing they can do to force a change for the better in
either the US economy or the war in Iraq.
Obama as Black
Obama as part black is not a problem as he does not pander to blacks and instead lectures them. In
fact, many with a prejudice against blacks actually like Obama because of this. He wins all around
on this matter.
Planning and Organization
Obama has energy and can campaign endlessly, where McCain gets fatigued. This can be seen in
his lack of presence in the Senate, and his need to take weekends off. The pace will increase now
that Obama is done with his trip overseas. Obama has laid the groundwork for the big push into
swing and red states and will now focus on campaigning and getting into local newspapers. In this
he will outdo McCain. As with the primary campaign, Obama laid the groundwork early, giving it
first focus, so the base for his operations and subsequent success was present when the final push
came. McCain is a poor organizer and has done none of this but instead has focused on his
comfortable townhall meetings where he meets only enthusiasts.
Negative Ads
The McCain camp is worried, as can be seen from their negative advertising and desperate
posturing to get attention from the press. They have gone overboard, being pressed forward rather
than being held back by McCain himself as his anger and adolescent streak were triggered by
Obama's oversea trip. In the heat of debate over the "Celebrity" ad McCain released "The One" ad,
showing that his entire approach is to ridicule Obama for nothing more than his popularity. The
world has seen that McCain is not honorable but jealous and petulant - neither good qualities in a
president.
Baiting
The McCain camp has been trying to get Obama to enter into a fray, distracting from the issues and
focusing attention on trivia, and has been trying to make it seem that Obama started the fray. But the
opposite will occur. Regardless of what the pundits or campaigns say, it is obvious to the public
who it was that started all of these non-issue discussions. It was the "Celebrity" and "The One"ads

ZetaTalk: McCain's Chances
along with other nonsensical negative ads. Finger pointing by the McCain camp does not change
this perception, as the smoking gun is in their hands.
McCain Temper
As Obama remains cool and keeps pointing to the issues, McCain will get increasingly frustrated. In
his past he has exploded in temper and even attacked people when angry, but knows that during the
campaign this behavior would be fatal. Thus he will explode behind closed doors and continue to
attack Obama, trying to get the satisfaction he desires which is a fight. Where he may not explode
on camera for all the world to see, his basic personality will become obvious as he will make
statements during his townhall meetings, all of which will be recorded on video. Will the US, even
sober Republicans, want someone who is by nature sporting for a b
rawl in the White House? Many
will stay home rather than vote for McCain, feeling uneasy about this.
VP Picks
Both Obama and McCain are holding off hoping the other goes first. McCain is so desperate, seeing
the state of the polls in key states, that he is tempted to select a woman in an attempt to get the
disgruntled Hilary supporters to swing his way. Any percentage point in a storm. Since his selection
must be done within days of the Democratic convention any last minute change will cause problems
within his campaign, and choosing a woman will cause problems with the ultraconservatives. This is
not a win for McCain, as any vote among woman he would gain would be countered by a loss
among conservatives. It is a myth that the selection process is secret, though the press has little they
can report on as no one will go on record nor even talk to the press anonymously. But the campaigns
have their own reports and use this information for their own VP selections. Obama has already
announced his preference for Sebelius but is holding off as there is no reason to announce early and
lots of reasons to announce at the last minute. In order to bring out the Republican base, McCain
needs to pick a conservative white man, and unless in complete rebellion and furious at Obama's
success will likely do so. Any other move would hurt him.

ZetaTalk: McCain's VP
written August 30, 2008
McCain Gambles on Inexperienced Conservative [Aug 29] http://www.ft.com/cms/s/ The choice
represented a bid by Mr McCain to win over disgruntled former supporters of Hillary Clinton,
undercutting Democratic efforts during the convention to reunify the party. Ellen Malcolm, president of
Emily's List, a pro-Democrat group that supports women candidates, challenged the notion that Ms Palin
would appeal to former Clinton supporters. "McCain clearly sees the power of women voters in this
election but has just as clearly failed to support any of the issues that they care about," she said,
highlighting Ms Palin's support for overturning the Roe v Wade ruling that legalized abortion.
Did John McCain shoot himself in the foot with his VP choice? Big time. He was losing, and desperate, as the private
polls his campaign had been taking revealed the gap between he and Obama to be far larger than the public polls
reveal. Obama has energized voters, so that many young people and people of color have registered to vote. The count
of new Democratic voters far outnumber new Republican voters, by a factor greater than 4 to 1. These new voters are
not included in the polls of likely voters - those who voted in the past two presidential elections. Then there is the
enthusiasm gap, where Democrats are more likely to make it to the polls in November. Given that the arguments the
McCain camp were making were not making any headway against Obama, they were desperate for a game changer.
Seeing the significant number of disgruntled Hillary fans making claims they would vote for McCain, this seemed like
the largest voter block that could potentially be swung to McCain. So what is wrong with this choice?
First is that he has offended Hillary's strongest block - older women who had been discriminated against during their
lifetime - and treated them like second class citizens. Standard fare, after not being given equal pay and opportunity for
equal work, is being thrown over for a younger woman. McCain has already been branded for this tendency by his
history of running out on his first wife, a former beauty queen who was crippled in a car accident. McCain then took
up with Cindy, an unspoiled beauty. Now with the VP choice he has selected another beauty queen far younger than
McCain. Regardless of all arguments, the element of being dismissive of women's true qualifications for office and
chosing women only for their beauty, is obvious. This is intuitively obvious to the older women voters McCain hoped
to attract. Standing next to McCain, Palin seemed like his mistress, a reminder of McCain's age and that his attitudes
toward woman are from a different era. Obama has a wife who is a strong woman, competent and even earning more
money than he at her day job. McCain now stands in contrast to Obama on this issue, and is losing on this issue to an
extent not yet evident in the polls.
Second, McCain has gone beyond his tendency to surround himself with lobbyists and to be susceptible to money
interests and plunged himself into a new and very fresh scandal - abuse of power. The Keating 5 scandal is in McCain's
past, wherein he went to bat for Keating during the savings and loan crisis, trying to get regulators to go easy on his
friend Keating. This is far enough in the past to be put aside by most voters, but what does his choice of Palin as VP
say about his judgment and tendencies? She is embroiled in a controversy, an investigation, that could result in
impeachment proceedings against her in Alaska. Without question she wanted to fire her former brother-in-law from
his job as a state trooper and insisted, in person and through intermediaries, that this be done. This in and of itself
would be considered a lightweight scandal in scandal-prone Alaska, but when she fired the highly competent head of
the Department of Public Safety simply because he refused to do her bidding she crossed the line. This is not only
criminal. This is grounds for impeachment and reflects badly on McCain's judgment.

What is McCain Thinking? One Alaskan's Perspective.
August 29, 2008
http://mudflats.wordpress.com/2008/08/29/what-is-mccain-thinking-one-alaskans-perspective/
Sarah Palin's sister Molly married a guy named Mike Wooten who is an Alaska State Trooper. Mike
and Molly had a rocky marriage. When the marriage broke up, there was a bitter custody fight that
is still ongoing. During the custody investigation, all sorts of things were brought up about Wooten
including the fact that he had illegally shot a moose (yes folks this is Alaska), driven drunk, and used
a taser (on the test setting, he reminds us) on his 11-year old stepson, who supposedly had asked to
see what it felt like. While Wooten has turned out to be a less than stellar figure, the fact that Palin's
father accompanied him on the infamous moose hunt, and that many of the dozens of charges
brought up by the Palin family happened long before they were ever reported smacked of desperate
custody fight. Wooten's story is that he was basically stalked by the family.
After all this, Wooten was investigated and disciplined on two counts and allowed to kept his
position with the troopers. Enter Walt Monegan, Palin's appointed new chief of the Department of
Public Safety and head of the troopers. Monegan was beloved by the troopers, did a bang-up job
with minimal funding and suddenly got axed. Palin was out of town and Monegan got "offered
another job" (aka fired) with no explanation to Alaskans. Pressure was put on the governor to give
details, because rumors started to swirl around the fact that the highly respected Monegan was fired
because he refused to fire the aforementioned Mike Wooten. Palin vehemently denied ever talking to
Monegan or pressuring Monegan in any way to fire Wooten, or that anyone on her staff did. Over
the weeks it has come out that not only was pressur
e applied, there were literally dozens of
conversations in which pressure was applied to fire him. Monegan has testified to this fact, spurring
an ongoing investigation by the Alaska state legislature. But, before this investigation got underway,
Palin sent the Alaska State Attorney General out to do some investigative work of his own so she
could find out in advance what the real investigation was going to find. (No, I'm not making this
up). The AG interviewed several people, unbeknownst to the actual appointed investigator or the
Legislature! Palin's investigation of herself uncovered a recorded phone call retained by the Alaska
State Troopers from Frank Bailey, a Palin underling, putting pressure on a trooper about the
Wooten non-firing. Todd Palin (governor's husband) even talked to Monegan himself in Palin's
office while she was away. Bailey is now on paid administrative leave.
As if this weren't enough, Monegan's appointed replacement Chuck Kopp, turns out to have been the

center of his own little scandal. He received a letter of reprimand and was reassigned after sexual
harrassment allegations by a former coworker who didn't like all the unwanted kissing and hugging
in the office. Was he vetted? Obviously not. When he was questioned about all this, his comment
was that no one had asked him and he thought they all knew. Kopp, defiant, still claimed to have
done nothing wrong and said to the press that there was no way he was stepping down from his new
position. Twenty four hours later, he stepped down. Later it was uncovered that he received a
$10,000 severance package for his two weeks on the job from Palin. Monegan got nothing.
