9. he's still got 8 hours until the polls open
Don't count Karl "Turd Blossom" Rove out just yet. He's got to the position he's in by being a supremely sneaky bastard - he might still pull a November Surprise out of his ass yet.

18. The fix may already be in...
No need for any surprises when the outcome is already decided.

19. Well, One Thing That Comforts Me About That
If you are talking about rigged machines being the "fix" is, if that were the case, why risk all the voter intimidation? The one thing I find encouraging about all the apparent voter intimidation and challenging is, it makes me think they were not quite ready yet to pull off rigging all the machines enough to win the election...

4. I am genuinely surprized that there was no whisper campaign


to put out the word that Kerry might be gay.

That's Rove's fave. I'm surprized he didn't run it.

12. They thought Bin Laden would tilt the game, he did not
Now they have to rely on good ol' fashioned
larceny to win. It ain't gonna work.
I think we might win.

6. Part of me agrees with the Rove is a moron statement
but another part of me wonders if the electorate could be "Roved" only to a point. After the 2000 election and all of the shenanigans afterward, I wonder if people caught on to his SOP.

17. Rove Failed In 2000
Bush didn't win the popular vote, so the population was most decidely NOT Roved. He didn't win that election through finesse, or smarts. He won through skullduggery and thuggery and a rigged Supreme Court. That's not the mark of genius.

A true genius would have taken the unity that Bush had after 9/11 and coasted to landslide in '04. Rove squandered the good will of the entire planet and his war-time incumbent is going to lose to "the #1 Liberal in the Senate"...That's pathetic.

I'm not sure how much of it is because Rove is a moron or how much of it is because he was trying to foist a monumentally defective product on the public (Bush). In any event, a REAL genius would have been able to foist even a monumentally defective product on the Public given 9/11. Rove failed. He sucks. He's a pathetic hack who will go down in history as the "mastermind" of one of the most collassal political failures in history, and I for one couldn't be happier.

7. I think their friend Bin Laden was their ace in the hole
And now they are fucked.
They didn't count on Michael Moore's army of video
recorders, either. This will be interesting.

8. Only thing that worries me now
...is a terror alert in, say, California. Or Oregon. Or New Mexico. Or Minnesota. Etc. It's all they've got left.

10. No Cheney replacement, but....
in a small town newspaper here, there is a full page, color, ad with pictures of county, state and federal candidates, BUT, there is no picture of Cheney, and his name is not even listed. No mention of a vice president. Two pictures of GeeDub, one with Pickles. It's mysterious!

15. There were plenty of surprises
but thanks to the Internet and AL Gore, they all got debunked and put to bed within a matter of days, if not minutes.

Sorry Karl, those old tricks you learned from Lee Atwater just don't work no more.

16. Maybe he's waiting until tomorrow.
I understand they will be running drills on election day, just like on 9/11.

20. Still might invade Fallujah tomorrow, but that'll look totally
desperate and depraved.
