The RWNM Has One Goal Before Tuesday: Suppress Voter Turnout
Everything they are doing today is an effort to turn off people to the election. Sure, there are many story lines
and diversions, but the goal (not the tactic) is to turn off voters to politics by throwing so much shit at the fan
that it covers everybody.

High voter turnout means an absolute rout. Normal turnout means the Ds win. Below-normal means the
Rs keep the Senate.

1. I agree, but did you read the NYTimes article
(I think NYTimes) that was posted here yesterday that negative advertising does not suppress voter turnout. I found that surprising.

2. I trust the National Enquirer before the NYTs these days.
They are shameless in their biased reporting. Sure, the editorial page leans left, but
Page One is a megaphone for the Rs.

6. If YKT=you knew that...
...then you are wrong. I did not. I figured RW meant right wing. I had no idea what "NM" was except that it is the postal code for New Mexico. If someting is worth writing, it is worth writing in whole words.

4. Basic Problem Is We Have To Be Revolted By The System, Not Hate Someone In It
That is the key. It can't be that there is a turd in office that you want out, it has to be that the office smells like shit and you don't want to go near it. Two entirely different things.
