Do you feel like it's in the bag?

[arcadian]

When I hear McCain calling himself the "underdog candidate" I start to feel joyfully optimistic that nothing can stop Obama. Does McCain know how to run a campaign? Doesn't he know that you aren't really losing until well, you yourself come out and say you are losing?

[summer borealis]

1. No. Nobody should

Nothing is certain in Dumbfuckistan except idiocy on a mass scale.

[eleny]

2. no

[Dr Fate]

3. No. In fact, Al Franken went down a few points today...

It's not "in the bag" unless we sweep congress too...

[Lorien]

4. No. I think there's a good chance that they'll steal it again n/t.

[arcadian]

9. It's always there, in the back of my mind.

n/t

[salguine]

33. Good chance? They ARE going to steal it again. The question is,

what happens then? Do they just get away with it like the last two times? Or do we go out and make the 1st Brigade work for their pay?

[Hydra]

5. Yes, but for one thing

Election Fraud.

Bush has never won the WH.

[pleah]

6. No, it ain't over until its over. Besides McHeh! still thinks it will be

stolen for him.

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. Probably has some inside information, eh?

[Lex]

7. No.

[mwdem]

8. It should be,

but it won't be. There's always something else they will pull.

[arcadian]

13. I know, I feel like it should be.

But then I meet some newly registered 18 year old who says, "I'm votin' John McCain!" and I weep a little for all of our futures.

[plaintiff]

10. I lost my butt betting on Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 04.

Don't wanna jinx another one.

[Cleita]

11. I don't trust the opposition to play by the rules.

Right now I'm listening to Mark Crispin Miller tell how Ohio was stolen from Kerry on "Democracy Now". If they can't steal the election blatantly this time, what will they do? Another 9-11? Martial law? It isn't over until I see Obama's feet firmly planted in Washington taking the oath of office.

[TheWatcher]

12. If you do, then you must be able to believe that The Elections of 2000 and 2004

Were legitimate and not stolen. And I don't mean you personally.

That is a lie I am not prepared to live.

The better question would be, what do you plan to do if they steal it again?

[arcadian]

14. If stolen, you better believe I'll be in D.C. the next day.

n/t

[TheWatcher]

16. Indeed, and that's why I edited my post to reflect what I meant.

:)

I'll be standing there with you.

[Winterblues]

15. I was absolutely convinced Kerry would win easily

That was a very disappointing election for me..

[DeadManInc]

17. It's not over til all the votes are counted.

[SammyWinstonJack]

29. Are they planning on counting all the votes, this time? That'd be refreshing.

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. no

[BlueIris]

19. Not so much.

:shrug:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. Yup.

I'm much more interested in the senate races.

[Warpy]

21. I did until I went to vote today

I found that somebody had me listed "inactive." I'd voted in the primary last February. I was girding up for a fight and said, "Well, I see they're up their old tricks again," and the poll worker agreed with me, said they'd had a lot of people misclassified in the last few weeks.

I had expected this since I live in a heavily Democratic part of town.

Expect to have Republicans tell you they don't want you to vote. Vote anyway.

And no, I didn't use a provisional ballot. Apparently anyone marked "inactive" in the last month will not have their status questioned.

[lpbk2713]

Has anyone seen Katherine Harris lately?

If I can safely feel she's not involved then I
will think Obama might have a good shot at it.

[Captain Hilts]

22. I've never doubted the Democratic candidate was going to win, actually. nt

[NNN0LHI]

30. Me too. I knew whomever the Dem nominee was would be our next president

I was only wondering how difficult it would be to accomplish and who our nominee would be?

But no, I never had any doubt since it began.

Not after the first Repig debate and I seen the freaks the Repigs were running.

Don

[Captain Hilts]

40. They ran a sorry lot and we had a whole panel of winners to choose from.

We need to focus on the senate.

[ACTION BASTARD]

23. Fuck No!

Not until I hear them call him President elect Obama on Fox news. Till then not buying the bullshit.

[SmokingJacket]

24. No.

I keep imagining the news reports: "Conservatives turned out in record numbers, for a turnaround like one the world has never seen!"

Etc
etc

[VOX]

The fat lady will have laryngitis before I rest. After Florida 2000 and Ohio 2004, it's never over.

And then, Barack has to be sworn in. So somewhere in late January, early February...***maybe***

Problem is, Rush, Hannity, Glen Beck, and a whole host of right-wing talking turds will start in with their ceaseless game.

So, in cold reality, the battle never stops.

[VOX]

26. Wow, I rolled a double! Without even trying! n/t

[reflection]

28. I sure do.

I have felt that way for a few days now. Everything seems to be falling into place.

I'm going to embrace this optimism and hold onto this great feeling until there's no reason to.

[cobalt1999]

31. I've been saying "it's in the bag" for over a year and I still say it.

McCain is being Mondale'd by the republicans. Let the old guy go out with the nomination in an election they don't have a chance in hell of winning.

It's not only in the bag, it's Reagan vs. Carter landslide.

[KayLaw]

32. No.

They'll steal it if nothing else.

[Blaze Diem]

34. If a bit, it would be due to the attention and work of people like RFK jr, &

his diligence as to the vote fraud issues.
The constant watchful eyes of those who know the GOP would be up to same old rotten tricks, & not allowing them to make one single move without calling them on it, may make me a little more hopeful.

Kudos to all of them.

[ThatsMyBarack]

35. Of course not.

[fed_up_mother]

36. In the bag that more folks will vote for Obama. But "No" on who will be declared winner.

[AlCzervik]

37. No.

[Two Americas]

38. yes and no

Far, far more people will attempt to vote for Obama than for McCain. I don't have any certainty that the official outcome will reflect that, however.

[readmoreoften]

39. I feel like the bag is empty.

An Obama win is not in the bag yet.

Obama actually shifting our policies away from the current CFR, Friedmanist, and Straussian nightmare is most certainly not in the bag. Whether he wants such policies or not, he will need us to democratically pressure his presidency back towards sanity.

[annabanana]

41. Oh Hell No. . . I'm not going to believe it until January 20

2000 is not that long ago..... It has to be an historic landslide to "stick".. That crowd will have to be dragged out of power kicking and screaming. . They staged a coup in 2000 and they will not go away peacefully.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

42. Feeling Like It's In The Bag Is The Sure Sign Of A Fool.

[stillcool]

43. No way.

In this country, with Bush's Justice Department, with Bush's Supreme Court, with Bush's FBI..anything can happen.

[Initech]

44. Not until the 270th vote is recorded for Obama

[lonestarnot]

45. Good so see all negative responses to this thread.
