Do you think our elections are legit?

Even at his best, Barack Obama never generated the kind of enthusiasm that Ron Paul did. Oh, he had large numbers at many of his events, but how many of those people did you see tirelessly putting forth the grassroots effort that we did? Obama is running on a campaign of "change". Is he proposing the kind of change that causes people to stand on street corners and wave signs at passing cars? I haven't seen any.

And what about John McCain? Heck, even the Huckster had more appeal than McCain. So how did McCain end up being the presumptive nominee? This past Tuesday, we held a primary here in SC for state and local elections. South Carolinians were very anxious to demonstrate their disgust with Senator Linsday Graham (John McCain's partner in crime on many bills including amnesty). Well guess what? Graham got 70% of the vote to his Republican opponent. Did everyone suddenly decide that the status-quo wasn't so bad after all?

I don't think so.

Its legitimately counted, there isn't any evidence of rigging. However, what you see is the result of the amazing level of free press McCain received. Even when his campaign was broke he was receiving more press then most other Republicans, obviously including Ron Paul.

the media are sheepherders don't you ever forget that.

Do i think the vote was rigged? maybe in some areas with diebold but the media played a bigger role in fixing the election.

Remember all the set up questions in the florida and SC debates? john Mccain received a standing ovation then received pats on the back it was like a beautiful scripted play. The only debates that allowed some truth to get out were the first two after that Ron Paul was set up.

The moderators threw everything at Ron Paul and gave easy questions to his opponents.

and when it came time to go after Mitt they set him up in the reagan debate.
