How is this related to Obama? He is just stating that the GOP nomination in Maine was rigged. That makes republicans look bad, not Obama.

We had high suspicions that there was cheating in the Maine nomination already. If Obama says the same, then that just confirms the suspicion.

What do you mean he admits to fraud? Did he commit fraud? Did he have anything AT ALL to do with the R primary in Maine? That's run by our party--do you understand that? I don't think there's anything controversial about the statement that the leadership wants Romeny--that's been a given since the beginning.

I'm not sure this is even Obama--it sounds like the kind of thing that some nutty Paul supporter would create to back up conspiracy theories about how the republicans are committing crimes to keep Paul from gaining more delegates, but if fraud was committed it was with the Maine GOP, or at least with some of the county leadership.

Uh...it sounds to me like he's saying the GOP "powers that be" stole Maine for Romney....IF that's Obama at all and IF it's not all taken out of context, which it surely is.

In other words, whoever that is appears to be saying the GOP committed election fraud!

Only thing it has to do with Obama is the fact obviously both the republicans and democrats have the same person working for them. My guess would be big corporations. How else would he know about this? I don't blame him but just pointing out its him acknowledging that there is election fraud and we the people obviously are not getting our voices heard. The corporations have taken over deciding who becomes president and who runs against an incumbent president.

I don't think he concluded they stole it for anyone.

Look what they did could be throwing all their assets down that to stop him in his tracks.
They could have done all legal things to win.
#1 Campaign
#2 Robo call and other stuff
#3 door to door and so forth

When maybe parts of the party go down to infulence and election, it doesn't IMO mean they have to rig it.

I would bet money he won't be Monkey. Not unless the republicans get their heads out of the sand and nominate someone who can beat him. Nominating someone who has the same financial backers as Obama and who gave Obama the blueprint for socialized healthcare is not someone to beat Obama. That is even if the parties actually have control of who wins and who loses...

Easy to beat because he flip flops on everything he has ever said or says.Paul has stuck by his message for 30+ years.
So you think the Democrats stole the ballots from a few republican counties in Maine--took them out of the hands of the county GOP officials while they were being counted--because they wanted to stop Ron Paul from winning delegates?

Let's say it was even possible. How would democrats have any idea how Paul or the other candidates had done in different counties across the state, so they'd know where to make ballots disappear before they could record them? Democrats don't have anything to do with the R primary--how would they pull that off?
