Wolf Blitzer on CNN just said that Kentucky's Secretary of State (Alison Lundergan Grimes), the person ultimately responsible for counting the votes in today's primary, has been a friend of the Clintons since she was a girl, and that she has campaigned alongside Hillary for the Democratic nomination for President in recent weeks.
Make of it what you may.

(6,476 posts)guess what she has friends in all 50 states because she is most qualified candidate-that's why 98% of Democratic Officeholders that are Super Delegates support her and 100% will vote for her

At least she didn't accuse him of being a secret agent Muslim and a furriner, like Hillary's campaign did in 2008.

They were Graham in FL-2 and Ashford in NE-2. In 2014, those two blue dogs were the only victories against Republican incumbents. Don't think the DNC didn't notice that.

It would be interesting if Young Turks would interview someone that understands the electronic vote counting.

The DNC and Democratic establishment failed the Democratic party members by treating Clinton as an incumbent, presumptive nominee, and favored candidate when there is such a high negative perception of Clinton within the party.
