28. I'm finding that some Clinton supporters call voter suppression "whining" very troubling
It should be the first thing that a TRUE Democrat would be troubled by when hearing about voter suppression. It should go beyond support for your candidate, especially if the candidate appears to have succeeded from the undemocratic process.

It's nothing new in this 2008 campaign. Hillary Clinton didn't want students who live in Iowa for nine months of the year to vote. The process of students who go to Iowa colleges and live out of state who caucus has happened since the first caucus there in 1972.

There are cases in New Hampshire where Clinton officials had Democratic party officials remove Obama supporters who were legally acting as observers at some polls. Exit polling that didn't jibe with Diebold machines in certain parts of New Hampshire have caused possible charges that a recount is in order. Does the Clinton campaign dare want to allow that? No.

Add that Bill Clinton comes across as a "Little League parent" and a "Olympic level whiner" adds to the disgusting mix.

South Carolina does not have a paper trail with their electronic voting machines. I smell a rat there as well.
