only two things can prevent a Kerry landslide, imo . . .
there is a substantial majority in this country who want someone other than Bush to be president . . . they've been waiting to see if Kerry is that guy . . . they got their answer tonight . . .

Bush fatigue is real, it's growing exponentially, and once someone experiences it, there's no going back . . . Kerry/Edwards will win the popular vote by a substantial margin, and the electoral vote as well . . . unless . . .

unless there is tampering with the voting machines on a massive scale . . . or unless the election is cancelled outright . . .

regardless of how well positioned we are for victory right now, we cannot forget that BushCo owns the voting machines . . . and, for all practical purposes, they can program them to achieve any result they want . . . and there's absolutely no way to stop them . . .

but we can put a check on them, if we can make sure that there is reliable, credible exit polling . . . if not nationally, then at least in key districts in key states . . . the districts most likely to be tampered with, should BushCo go that route (and I have no doubt that they will) . . .

maybe the next moveon project should be to hire a reputable polling firm to conduct exit polls in these key districts . . . I can't think of a better use of Soros' money at this point . . . then, if they do alter the results, at least we'll know about it and can call them on it . . . probably wouldn't change the results, but at least the country will know that the election was stolen . . .

1. Good idea
I actually suggested this three months back when I first joined the site! Election theft is obviously on everyone's mind here...

Of course, if Moveon was known to fund the exit polls, b*shco would discredit it immediately.

2. that's why they'd have to . . .
a) hire a reputable polling firm, and b) allow observers from both parties to watch the exit polling in each district

4. WE have work to do
We still have to get voters registered, keep them engaged, get them to the polls, and watch the ballots being cast and counted. That's what will matter in the end. Let's not forget, Dems notoriously get complacent, we can't let that happen this year!

We are paying a price for that right now.

6. There is a third:
Drug rehab. Because anyone who thinks that this is going to be a rollover election, barring a disastrous blow to the economy or in Iraq, or Bush being caught in bed with Dick Cheney, needs some rehab.

7. Yep! Kerry probably nailed more than half of the undecideds..
He will grab at least half of the remaining undecideds after the debates. In all, Kerry will get 75% of the undecideds.
