Lancaster, OH (AP) With Senator Hillary Clinton so close to catching Senator Barack Obama, every vote counts; even if that vote comes from a middle schooler. Earlier today, the Clinton Campaign announced it would seek to count the votes from not only Florida and Michigan, but also the votes from a mock primary election held at the General Sherman Middle School in Lancaster, OH.
"It's a very close race, but if you count, as I count, the 2.3 million people who voted in Michigan and Florida, along with the 82 votes from General Sherman Middle School, then we are going to build on that," the New York senator said.
The mock election was held last Tuesday when the students’ interest in the primaries was piqued after the Ohio primary. Many of the students made posters, held rallies and created negative ad campaigns on YouTube.
Clinton Spokeswoman Norma Wright claimed that the students’ votes should count, “We cannot continue to disenfranchise voters, especially the younger voters. Pissed off kids usually end up becoming Republicans”
Some students did not vote in protest of the electronic voting machines that were used in the mock election. Seventh grader Mark summed it up, “These Sequoia Voting Systems machines are whack.”
General Sherman eight grade Class Treasurer and Hillary Clinton Fan Club president Rhonda Dotts remarked, “The kids that didn’t vote in protest are just doin’ it because it’s cool to protest and not to vote in protest and stuff.”
When was asked about counting the votes won by Obama from the caucus held across the city at Thomas Ewing Middle School, Hillary dismissed the votes explaining, “We can’t win caucuses so we do not believe in them.”

This should probably go in the blabber but I'm feeling bold.
The link will take you to a site where you can make your own "mixtape", basically an online collection of 12 songs truth be told, but indulge me. You sign up (which is real easy, doesn't even require confirmation), upload your songs and then you can move them around to create the perfect tracklisting. I reckon this site won't last long before the RIAA cartel shut them down but it should be around long enough for us to get bored of it.
Once you've made your mix, reply here with a link to it so we can take a listen.

The Secret Service apparently ordered the Dallas Police to stop screening people for weapons an hour before an Obama event there.
The Chief of Police is complaining about it, but stated that "the crowd was friendly".
Sure, and so was the one at the Ambassador Hotel for Bobby Kennedy's last moments, with the exception of Sirhan Sirhan.
