DIRTY TRICK: SC Dem voters receiving phone messages urging them to show up THIS Saturday to vote!

Democrats Say Their Voters Are Being Urged To Show Up This Saturday

17 Jan 2008 12:57 pm

Carol Khare Fowler, the chairperson of the South Carolina Democratic Party, didn't think she'd have to hold a press conference to inform Democrats to vote in the Democratic primary.

But that was before party officials received queries from confused Democrats yesterday.

It seems that hundreds of them received phone messages urging them to show up THIS Saturday and vote, and that the Democratic and Republican primaries would both be held on the same day.

(Not true, of course: The GOP votes this Saturday and the Democrats vote next Saturday, and if you vote in one primary, you can't vote in another.)

Someone is playing a dirty trick.

5. I swear that state has the dirtiest primaries in the world

But what would you expect from the state that started the Civil War.

7. I used to live in South Carolina. There's a reason why the dirty tricks

are concentrated among these people--they fall for it.

8. Predictable as Christmas displays on Thanksgiving.

Maybe they won't just stop at nailing a fall guy for it this time.

9. Worse than phone calls.

I've got a flyer here ostensibly from the Obama campaign that says the primary is Saturday. My husband and I had a big fight about it...him insisting that I needed to vote Saturday and me telling him he's full of shit. Then he asked why it would say so in an Obama flyer.

Damn, I just tried to find it to scan but it must have gone out in the trash.
