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!!!
