8. Its a great excuse..
They are basically claiming Hill really finished 2nd what they are ignoring (and wiat I love about the caucus) is that people who dont like her hate her! I could vote for Obama or Edwards but not Hill..

2. Too much?
When they are voting for a Democrat, we can't have too much.

5. Nowhere else does second-choice matter--turnout is everything
Now, I don't know if this Obama machine can get similar turnout results in other states, but if it does, jeebus.

10. I'm just saying the facts
Edwards own people said he needed turnout of 135,000 to 140,000 to win.
