Slog - Comments on Dept. of Alternate Universes http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/dept_of_alternate_universes John McCain says he senses momentum building for his candidacy, telling FOX News: It reminds me very much of the early primaries, New Hampshire, Florida, and other places, where we were running behind and we sensed this momentum building... And that isn't just my impression, that's what our pollsters are showing, and that's what even some of the pundits are saying... The level of this excitement I have not seen matched....

I took that to mean then that the crimes were already well underway to steal yet another election. What surprised them in 2006 and mostly (but not completely) foiled their plans was the historic voter turnout.

This year, I think they're starting this now for the same reason -- so that when the crimes work and McCain "wins" they can say it isn't a surprise because their numbers said this all along.

The only question is: will voter turnout be large enough to trump their crimes again? Because I honestly don't believe John McCain -- who has certainly been briefed on all the illegal activities currently taking place for his benefit -- thinks voter turnout will trump their crimes. That doesn't mean he's right.

2. I think we may need massive silent dignified protests say 200K-1M strong in each of 25 largest cities in USA on nov. 5th-9th when the GOP tries to steal the election via post-election shenanigans and lawsuits eg discounting provisional ballots, losing ballots, stopping counting, etc.

Like in 200.

But this time let's all of us not be wimps about it, okay?

FYI: Gallup:
Obama leads by two to seven points among likely voters
October 28, 2008 The gap between Barack Obama and John McCain in Gallup Poll Daily tracking from Saturday through Monday has narrowed slightly, and Obama is now at 49% of the vote to 47% for McCain among likely voters using Gallup's traditional model, and at 51% to 44% using Gallup's expanded model.

Nah, too late.
