29. Interesting
But people obsessing about this seem to overlook two important things: Obama got the same % of votes that all 13 (or however many there were) polling groups predicted within an acceptable MOE. What our campaign overlooked was the significant % of voters who claimed they were still undecided or not sure about their candidate.A classic rookie mistake. It's not a stretch to see that squishy support ( Especially Edwards) broke towards Hillary. We're talking about less than 10,000 votes. So personally I don't see a lot of potential for fraud there. Obama did however do significantly better in the exurban and rural areas, the exact opposite of Roves lying piece of Murdoch supported tripe in todays Murdoch Street Journal..

If there were a conspiracy it would be in them moving up the primary date so the Colleges were still not in session, or I guarantee Obama would have mopped the floor with everyone.
