im not worried yet
i see lots of worry here about the election
a lot of facts and a lot of research by all of yall
im not worried
our nominee won more states
more votes
he has an ability to connect with americans that was lacking in the other choices
its missing in mccain too

mccain just doesnt click with the populous
he is off putting
he has little support among the GOP religious base
his previous statements about conservatives puts off the rest of the GOP
he will get little more than lip service support from his own party

obama will have to work hard to make sure shenanigans dont get called
but stealing an election requires it be close to start with

and i dont think mccains candidacy is gonna survive to the GE anyways

that fact does worry me a little but not a lot

2. Why does stealing an election require that it be close?
That's maybe true for retail election theft, but not the wholesale variety. The method is ismple in principle. First, lie about the poll results for a few days before the election; proclaim it to be close even if it isn't. Then use the machines to flip a few million votes in strategic places.

Voilà.{/i]

4. I'm not worried at all.
We're winning nearly every indicator, nearly every poll, sometimes by large margins.

I am tired of the concern trolls, though.

5. Unfortunately, all most USAsians see are POLLS.
The closer the polls, the more chance of "stealth elections" in Battleground States similar to 2000 and 2004. All it's going to take to tighten up many close polls is a good VP choice by McThuselah (Palin, Pawlenty, Rice, Jindal) and a not-so-good one by Obama (Clinton, Biden, Richardson).

It's not who votes that counts, it's who COUNTS the VOTES, remember?

If you are not worried, at least be concerned - LET'S COUNT EVERY LAST VOTE THIS TIME, goddamnit!!!
