It´s one thing for a Democratic presidential candidate to dominate a Democratic city like Philadelphia, but check out this head-spinning figure: In 59 voting divisions in the city, Mitt Romney received not one vote. Zero. Zilch. These are the kind of numbers that send Republicans into paroxysms of voter-fraud angst, but such results may not be so startling after all. "We have always had these dense urban corridors that are extremely Democratic," said Jonathan Rodden, a political science professor at Stanford University. "It´s kind of an urban fact, and you are looking at the extreme end of it in Philadelphia." Intro corrected by Staff

Reminds me of Saddam Hussein, who called an election shortly before the second iraq war, and won every vote.

"We have always had these dense urban corridors that are extremely RACIST AND ONLY VOTE FOR THEIR OWN KIND -N0 MATTER THEIR FAILURE,". And now as they say down south - "that´s mo´ better".

Put an ad on tv in that area asking anyone who voted for Romney to contact the GOP to discuss their vote being suppressed/defrauded. If even one person responds, we know the truth.

You would think that an intelligant person fixing an election would make sure that there were enough votes for the opposing candidate to not cause suspision for an average persion viewing the results.
But, lets face it, they have gotten away with this type of utter and complete fraud for decades. They don´t even have to pretend. As long as those investigating are fellow Demon-RATS, they are safe as can be.

Let´s see how much discussion we hear about vote fraud on Rush, Hannity and Levin. Something tells me the word has gone out that vote fraud is this season´s birtherism - the truth that must not be named in respectable conservative circles. (Except for Lucianne.com, and she beats all of them.)

#2 is right on target. Such high numbers for O´Bama REEKS of voter fraud and is like the old USSR where 99% of the vote would go to the favored candidate.
Welcome to the New America.
Republicans need to stop playing the horse with blinders on who only see what is straight ahead. All around us the Dems are sucker punching us.
I´m mad at Republicans for being so naive. Republican s are to blame for this fiasco of a campaign. These guys need to be hung out to dry and new more ruthless campaigners brought in to match the ruthlessness of the Democrats.

This is easy to explain. The code in voting machines is set to flip say 1 in 100 votes to the favoured candidate. This ratio is picked to avoid raising suspicion. It is just that the programmer forgot to set a limit in areas where democrats dominate. The result is that every Romney vote gets flipped and the machine still has not met the quota. Now lets find out if there were this many districts with not a single vote for Obama and we will know who has been programming the voting machines!

I do not doubt that this could happen without any fraud at all.
Consider the makeup of these divisions. They are likely made up of the lower 1% in Romney´s admitted 47%. These are people who are latched on to the government teat 24/7.
What will be interesting will be seeing what happens when the Democrats try to nominate the next non-black candidate. If there is a black in the field of nominees then it could get interesting.
Now for a racist comment...
Some blacks are just far too ignorant (I did NOT say stupid) to ever get it. They have been programmed from day one and have lost the ability as a group to think at any level above how something might directly affect them in the very immediate future.
I still give every person I meet, regardless of race, a clean slate upon which to start a relationship. However, after 55 years of fair and unbiased observation (even extending the benefit of the doubt perhaps too far), I can now state with no pang of conscience that, as a group, today´s generation of blacks are hopelessly lost.

What is left out here is most miraculous part. 100% of the eligible voters voted. When does that ever happen? No voter fraud. Just one name on the ballot. So nobody needs to go to the polls. Just flip a lever on the machine, and all votes are tallied. Remember: Saddam got 100%, too.

In a parallel universe, this would get some attention from the media. A professor of sociology could easily tell you that you could not get 100% of people to agree it´s raining or it´s sunny outside - let alone agree on who to vote for. This is out and out fraud and has been practiced by the Philly Democrat machine since well before the days of fast Eddie Rendell. In 2004 machines arrived with 20,000 to 30,000 votes for Kerry in the machines already.

It would be interesting to know how the counts turned out in these precincts when former NFL star Republican Lynn Swann was running for PA Governor against Ed Rendell. Philadelphia went massively for Rendell, the white guy in the contest, but if it was unanimous in these precincts for Rendell, that would be an assurance of Dem voter fraud.

Did the Inquirer try to find any of the Democrat voters listed on voter registration lists? It would be interesting to see how many of those registrants are missing too (and how many of the missing registrants are listed as having voted).

Where is the ACLU, Liberty Legal, etc. ONE TV ad would probably turn up MANY voters in these districts that voted for Romney. To say that over 19K voters INTACT in 59 voting booths cast NOT ONE vote for Romney is incomprehensible. Bill Cunningham spoke about it Sunday night on his radio program.Why hasn´t the GOP requested that the voting machines be impounded ? This should have been done immediately. We vote in NY with a PAPER BALLOT which the machine turns into a computer count on a ´flash drive".I do not know the mechanics of other states, but wherever there is NO paper trail, the Federal Election Commission should not allow the votes to count. There is no way to verify the accuracy of the votes and no ability to recount. Lastly,only ONE person out of over 19 K has to come forward, CALL A NEWSPAPER, CALL A LAWYER, etc, or a conservative media outlet ought to put up billboards with numbers that can be contacted by whistleblowers . The election is NOT certified until the electoral college members meet. Why are we allowing elections counts to be fraudulent ?

I would like to know if these are all straight party votes. Were there no initiatives? Curious to see an actual ballot. FTA .. there weren´t many if any republicans running in lower races, so not suprised if they voted for Obama and that was all, but need to see how the rest went.
Most were bused in and told to vote for Obama.. thats all they needed to remember.

The answer is as simple as the KKK in the 1950´s: Rampant racism in black communities enforced thru propaganda and intimidation. But the intimidation is not by violence. It is by installing the fear you will not be accepted as part of the tribe. Same for Hispanics. The ones who cannot be fooled due to ignorance must be intimidated to conform.

Voter fraud did happen across the nation. No one needs to state the obvious. The question is what is to be done in the future to avoid a repeat.
All I saw were enthusiastic Romney crowds and a deflated BO electorate. Heck, even he knew he might lose. But the voting machines defaulted to BO. WE KNEW THIS ALREADY. And did nothing. The repubs did nothing.
No one did anything, just like they will do nothing when the brownshirts show up at the door collecting guns.
The real powers that be, not the voters, told Romney he was not going to be prez. That ´s what happened

The statist dem media bubbles, radical lefty/lib community activists and prejudiced special interest activists discourage common sense, not to mention American history´s lessons in freedom.

WASHINGTON -- One of the two women who videotaped allegations that New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez paid her for sex has said in an affidavit that she was paid to make the story up, according to a report Monday in the Washington Post. The woman also said she has never met nor seen the Democratic senator, the Post reported, citing court documents and two people briefed on her claim. Instead, in an affidavit she said she and a colleague were paid by a lawyer to make up the claims and read from a script, according to the Post.

Dying is effortless. That became clear to me as I lay on a gurney in an emergency department bay at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. It was 10 p.m., almost five hours since my primary-care physician Michael Cirigliano (better known as Dr. Mike from Fox29) diagnosed me as septic, bundled me into his car, and rushed me to the hospital. After several hours of intravenous antibiotics and four liters of fluid, my blood pressure was crashing, a hallmark of sepsis, a potentially fatal condition caused by an exaggerated immune response to injury or infection.

Given the beating Apple has taken lately—with many questioning its future—it´s important to understand how much television means to Apple. The company´s TV plans are much bigger than just selling iTV sets. [snip] Apple is evolving into an ecosystem, a network that connects to and controls everything from your home to your car to your office. This has the potential to be as impactful as the iPhone and iPad. Today I use iOS apps to control my stereo system (the Sonos) and central air (the Nest).

After “The Hill” reported that Cohen -- who is not married -- deleted tweets saying “ilu,” short for “I love you,” to Victoria Brink, Cohen claimed that nothing was inappropriate and that the woman was a daughter of an old family friend.

Recent college graduates and even those who have been out of school for several years now are finding an increasingly harder time getting a job in this economy. The amount of young adults – from ages 18 to 29 – who are unemployed rose over 1.5 percent in January to 13.1 percent, according to statistics released Friday. The overall unemployment rate had a smaller increase - rising 0.1 percent to 7.9 percent - according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Authorities say they believe the child was targeted, but did not know the woman who abducted her.

They had no idea what lay in store for them that fateful afternoon. Near the town of Malmedy, in Belgium, Ted Paluch and about 100 other U.S. soldiers had been overwhelmed by German forces during the Battle of the Bulge and compelled to surrender. They dropped their carbines and were herded to a field, where they expected to be taken away in trucks. What happened next turned that day into one of the darkest of World War II. The events are as vivid to Paluch now as when he lived through them nearly seven decades ago. Headline resplit by staff.

Once again, the Earth has survived. Unless typing at this terminal is Heaven - and it´s clearly far from Hell - no rapture or disaster happened overnight, contrary to movie-inspiring misreadings of Mayan calendars. Add that to the list of dead-wrong prophecies about the end of the world. Here are 10 previous apocalyptic flops:

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

The White House on Wednesday stood by its story that the Obama administration remained unsure exactly who was responsible for the attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi nearly five days after it occurred even though new revelations show Ansar al-Sharia’s direct involvement. Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya and a self-described whistleblower, testified before a Congressional committee Wednesday that the body of Ambassador J. Christpher Stevens was missing for hours during the attack after being dragged out of the diplomatic post in Benghazi.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

Top ABC News editor Don Ennis walked into his Manhattan office on Friday in a “little black dress” and a brunette bobbed wig and announced to colleagues that from now on, he would like to be known as Dawn. The 49-year-old father of three said he’s splitting from his wife of 17 years to become a woman, or Dawn Stacey Ennis, as she is now known on her governmental records. “Today I begin anew,” she wrote on her Facebook timeline, where she debuted a flirty new profile picture. “Please understand: This is not a game of

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that "death is a part of life." CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death. And, I guess the reason why I´m saying that, going back to something Mr. Nordstrom said, he wanted,

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W. Bush years -- led by that least-credible of champions, the almost-always-wrong Darrell Issa --

Northwestern University continued to stumble over diversity issues this week as Mexican students voiced disagreement with a campuswide letter that advised students not to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by engaging in racially-offensive activities, such as eating tacos and drinking tequila. The letter was sent to students via e-mail, and published in The Daily Northwestern last week. Leaders of Alianza, a Latino student group, and the Associated Student Government called on students to remember that Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. It is not a day to throw a sombrero-themed party, they said.

British physicist Stephen Hawking has dropped plans to attend a major international conference in Israel in June, citing his belief that he should respect a Palestinian call to boycott contacts with Israeli academics. The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.

Ahead of the Benghazi hearings in which three witnesses are set to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade invited Fox News analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters to discuss the issue. Peters was unflinching in his criticism of the “cowardly” Obama administration — and the “establishment media” that aids it. “Is this a national security coverup?” Kilmeade asking, explaining that the witness testimony is expected to say the administration was deceitful in its handling of the situation. “The administration, facing the election, went into panic mode, wanted to contain it,”

Fans of Glenn Beck are complaining about what I wrote yesterday about his speech at the National Rifle Association convention, where he used a giant image of Michael Bloomberg photoshopped into what appeared to be an image of Hitler with his arm raised in a Nazi salute and wearing an armband. The Beck crowd now tells me that it wasn’t Hitler’s picture into which the New York mayor was transposed but that of Communist leader Vladimir Lenin. They say that means I owe Beck an apology along with the Anti-Defamation League and others who were also outraged by it.
