In a little-noticed comment over the weekend, MSNBC commentator Joe Scarborough said Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) had two things to fear -- complacency by supporters given his wide lead in the polls, and a "ghost in the machine."

"Polls are getting hard to read at this point," MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski remarked on Sunday's edition of Morning Joe.

"Well, they are because they're all, almost all in Barack Obama's corner at this point so if you are the Barack Obama campaign you really only have two things to worry about," Scarborough replied. "One, complacency on part of your supporters which can be very, very damaging impact on the campaign or number two, that there's a ghost in the machine.

1. "Ghost" my ass. Try GOP criminal actions Scarborough you stupid schmuck.

And for the record, the NH Primary was rigged (for anyone who wasn't aware of this- that's the truth). Exit polls taken day of the election are always accurate. In NH, only the machine counts did not match the exit polls- the hand counts were right on target. Coincidence? Just like the 2004 where the exit polls were adjusted to match the "actual" results (after we had already seen the initial exit polls showing Kerry winning). Amazing how that happens.

I will be so happy to watch Morning Joe on Wednesday morning - just so that I can see that smirk on Scarborough's stupid face when he has no choice but to concede defeat.

Most in the media are afraid to talk about the topic for fear of being branded by right wingers as conspiracy nuts.
