Can Everybody Chill about Ohio

I am very confident President Obama has The Buckeye State in his pocket. I've been talking to voters since October 2 and I feel early voting may already take him over the top but regardless President Obama is no shrinking violet and neither is David Axelrod if they pull any shit they will be taken to task there are about 300 or more lawyers Fired Up and Ready to Go!!!!!!!!!!!! if need be

we don't take the GOP's effort to steal the State into account.

After all they did it in 2004.

We have to insist that this kind of crap never happens again, it must be a priority

Too much on the line, too much money behind the scenes + no ethics and repukes in control

That said, very happy about the Early Vote

Husted's patch may be nothing but I don't trust him and it at least seems fishy at this late date. So I hope we have tech experts as well as attorneys.

I'd really love having Bev Harris and Brad Friedman here to augment locals who are on it like Bob Fritakas. You can't be too careful with right wing operatives, they have no real moral compass, about zero true altruism, and believe God is on their side and that the ends they seek justify the means, whatever the means are, legal or not.

and the information about the patches was obtained before voting ... so if there's anything hinky it might be easier to find out now rather than later... but they have to get ahold of one of the machines..

After what she did to Andy Stephenson, a lifetime ban seems the mildest possible response.

by what? 266K votes?

that's hardly a gigantic margin. regardless, I hope you are correct. very hard to win w/o Ohio.

The unknown factor is what the repukes have up their collective sleeves. I thought the same thing about Kerry-- he had all these lawyers everywhere (we were told) and pfft-- he conceded the next day. It was WTF?

I have no illusions about how far those bastards will go.
