RW End Strategy Becoming Clear: "We Wuz ROBBED!!"

[stopbush]

The Rs will not prevail Tuesday, and they know it.

The polls are all over the place, the methodology sucks and they should all be discarded as being unreliable (including those showing Ds pulling even: the models in those polls suck as well - they should show Ds ahead in most of the key races).

The enthusiasm gap? Let's see, the Ds raise millions from tens of thousands of voters while the Rs get most of their $ from 42 super-wealthy people who can donate millions at a time. The LAT says that the D GOTV effort is superb while the R's GOTV effort is a chaotic mess. The media is calling races where a D enjoys a 9-10 point lead "neck and neck," as if a 10-point lead 6 days out from an election can be overcome over the weekend (especially when the R candidate has been losing ground in the past few weeks, as have Whitman and Fiorina in CA).

So, the media is busy building their narrative that the R juggernaut is unstoppable, while the Rs are holding training sessions for the herd of lawyers they will unleash post-election to challenge any result that has them losing with a margin of 10 points or less.

This is their end strategy - Norm Coleman v Al Franken to infinity and beyond! They will challenge results, claim that they control the House and refuse to seat Ds who were elected to the House. R incumbents who lost to Ds will refuse to give up their seats. They'll deny the exit polling, stating that "we KNOW those things haven't been accurate since 2000 when Bush beat Gore and the exit polls said otherwise!" They'll claim that voter dissatisfaction was so high this time that traditional GOTV efforts meant nothing, even if the polls are clogged with voters for hours on end. They'll claim that the massive D/union GOTV effort was matched by millions of "just plain folks" headin' down to the local barn to cast their votes against the hated Ds. Claims of massive voter fraud will start on Rush and Faux, to be picked up by the MSM within a week of the RWNM starting the ball rolling.

As gut-wrenching as this election cycle has been, the real bullshit begins Nov. 3. The "Rs are a sure win in 2010" meme has been created in large part to support the claims that are going to be made by the Rs POST election, ie: how could EVERYBODY - the pollsters, the MSM, Karl Rove, even the NYT - possibly have been so wrong? Sounds like shenanigans to us!

They are looking to "create a new reality" by acting like their fiction has become a reality simply by repeating it often enough (and with conviction, of course!).

Trust me on this.

I hope our D leaders are prepared for this, because the Rs have already decided to take no prisoners this time around.

2. Yeah, when they all started lawyering up

I figured it was the Franken ploy...

7. Can the Chamber of Commerce cover the lawyers' fees?

Say it costs Mr. Bigsbeotch five million dollars to sue Mr. Donkey and lose the suit.

But it costs Mr. Donkey two million dollars to defend himself, and he only has a 2.5 million dollar war chest.

Mr. Bigsbeotch has an open line of credit with the United Arab Emirates, through their cutout the Chamber of Commerce. His five million dollar loss is squared easily, and matched with additional contributions from Mr. Bigsbeotch's future boss.

All Mr. Bigsbeotch needs to worry about is how he's going to fit a 16-foot long Mpingo desk into his new office.

8. The desk can go upright.

as in "upright his ass".

Anyway, it should be fun.

[breadandwine]

9. But where are OUR lawyers? There are going to be attempts to steal races.

And I am not hearing about our having the legal teams on hand that we used to.


So we are vulnerable.


Also, if you AVERAGE the polls the way Nate Silver is doing and he's been reliable in the past, the GOP has 232 seats in the House in his predictions and that's up 2 in the last couple of days.


There is no way we're going to hold the House.

Nobody is saying we can and the evidence just isn't there.

[DaveinJapan]

3. k&r but I wonder, to what end? Just to gum up the works for a while? nt

[BeFree]

4. I find it interesting that...

... for the first time since HAVA introduced the e-vote en mass, that we have a Democrat administration.

Methinks there is gonna be some heavy 'looking-over-the-shoulders' of the way these machines count votes.

As for the loser pubbies, Bwahahahahaha. Too bad, losers.

[ClassWarrior]

5. While that's probably true, please don't start a victory lap just yet.

We still have a lot of work to do before Tuesday night.

NGU.

[Iggo]

6. Maybe they'll push for paper ballots. (n/t)

[AsahinaKimi]

10. Wait, wait...wait!

SO, they are saying this before the Election Day has come? How stupid are they?

[RufusTFirefly]

11. Yes, the dissemination of this message among the RW faithful is very scary

I saw a right-wing acquaintance tonight, and he was already obsessing about it.

The effectiveness of their brainwashing is truly frightening.

[zbdent]

12. I have this to say to those who claim "election fraud" ...

provide the evidence ... not anecdotes ... don't just shout "ACORN!!!" like before.

[rucky]

13. They're not going to stop.

And we can't run from direct confrontation forever. Win or lose, we'll keep playing defense until something changes from the top.
