How come on MTP

[Pharaoh]

they are treating this as a really close election up for grabs..........

I don't like the feeling of this......

4. The Corporate Owned Mass Media is softening up the masses...

for the big steal of 2008.

[Telly Savalas]

11. The masses are glued to their TVs on Sunday mornings watching pundit programs?

5. All of those above with a big dose of Wishful Thinking

[Olney Blue]

6. They are trying to be seen as neutral.

You know, all that journalistic integrity stuff.

[plaintiff]

7. Both sides want it to look that way...it's thought to increase turnout.

What worries ME is the possibility of another cliff-hangar like 2000. It -might- not be settled on the 4th...or 5th...or...
:silly:

Tweety endorsed Obama.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

9. Maybe I'm just superstitious, or

maybe I've lived long enough to know that racism defines so much of this country.

Plus, having seen 2000 and 2004 stolen, I'm poised to watch them do it again.

I don't believe any of those polls, because people lie. When they get into the privacy of the voting booth, racists are free to do what they do best - discriminate. And that could kill us.

So, for me, anyway, it's a close race, and it's hardly over. The hardest part is coming up in the next 2-plus days.

10. It's who they are..

they lie. They lied us into war. What's the big deal about trying to sway an election?

[question everything]

12. On ABC "This Week" howver, all predicted Obama gets more tha 300 electoral votes

Even George Will. I don't remember the exact numbers but they wee about 330 on average. Also the Senate, winning about 7 and the House about 20.
