2. Of course they will. That's a given. The question is: Can Obama's turnout overcome it?
This is why I do not share the enthusiasm of victory. This shit ain't over.

3. We will win big enough to prevent them from stealing it.
They can only steal it, without the theft being undeniable, if the election is close.

15. So McCain listened to no-one, suspended his campaign

17. It's true.
It's not the only reason, but it gave Obama the chance to show he was a leader.

He passed the 3 am test, McCain flunked it.

10. Ummm... you worded this oddly....
But, no. The rat bastards are NOT going to be able to steal it this time. Too many people are watching this time... all the early voting is helping to find the problems before they become big problems.

All eyes are on the thugs...

14. They are not going to steal the vote again. Here is how I convince myself of that:
Edited on Thu Oct-30-08 07:27 PM by Jackpine Radical
The Obama people have been on top of everything. Did you know that they made up fake anti-Obama Rezko and Wright ads and showed them to focus groups and tested their responses in order to determine the best way to counter the smears?

Do you remember how they scuttled that Corsi book "Obama Nation" before it got any traction at all?

Do you know how effective they are at countering email libel, internet rumors, etc?

Well, the possibility of vote theft is an obvious one; we all know it has been done in previous elections. Can you seriously imagine that the Obama people, with all the strategic acuity they have displayed at every turn along the way so far, have not entered the possibility of vote theft into their calculations? And that, having thought about this likelihood, they have not come up with a means of defeating it?

I don't know what the means is. I don't have numbers on the potential size of the problem. But it is unfathomable to me that they would not be thus informed, and that they would not have found effective ways to neutralize it.

19. This election is in our hands now...
We are the ground game Barack is counting on. Don't want to see this election stolen? The answer is in our hands. Make calls, knock on doors, offer rides to the polls, and donate to the cause. Its not about pundits, polls, or propaganda its about everyone doing what they can to GET OUT OUR VOTE and make this win big enough to make stealing it an impossibility.

23. Sorry I cant.

I think I will go camping next Monday and Tuesday. Deep in the woods of Southern Ohio where I can't hear any news.

On Wednesday morning I will pack up camp and head out to buy a newspaper, and then it will be over, one way or another.
