I'm Convinced: the ONLY way we lose this year is BBV
You heard it here first.

Nevada caucus turnout the largest in history! (at least that's what they said on the local news).

Dem momentum is an unstopable juggernaut. Victory is inevitable. Even if Kerry's "affair" knocks him out of the race, Edwards steps in and we win in a landslide.

Dems are ENERGIZED.

Repigs are cowering.

The media is turning on bush.

The ONLY way we lose is for the media to portray the election as "a horse race," artificially keeping it close enough for BBV to steal it for bush.

Trust me...I've been around.

OK, I admit I'm on my second Grey Goose martini...but everything's CLEAR now!!!

2. I'm sober but...
Edited on Sun Feb-15-04 12:04 AM by AngryYoungMan
...I agree.

I've been thinking that a BBV Bush "victory" could actually lead to violent revolution.

(Now it sounds like I've been into the vodka)

On edit: Ketel One fan, myself :)

4. Ha! We just finished the Ketel One, so I made a run to the
liquor store where GG was on sale for $22 for 750 ml. Had to do it!!

Great minds think alike...in vodkas.

3. The only ways we lose this year is if:
1) the media turns on our nominee, (highly likely)

2) our nominee has some ugly skeletons in his closet, (good possibility)

or

3) most people don't even vote (or vote third party) because our nominee and Bush are too close on the major issues of the day. (almost certain)

5. If polls show chimp anywhere in the 30's
before election, and still wins, we will know BBV was in effect. The next step must be to the streets, no choices left.

10. Bush Blocking Voters
At least, that's what it means - but it really refers to Black Box Voting: electronic voting machines that have bad, bad flaws allowing tampering with votes - without leaving a trace.

Possibly an insurmountable "But."

13. CLG is suggesting we print up our own paper ballots for a back-up record
We need a double check on all the computerized voting. Even if it's not close and we win by a landslide, they'll still call it for Bush.
