What excuses will the pundits use to explain the election
results when this is all over? They are still standing by how close it will be according to polling.

Will it be cell phones? The new registered votes? The youth? The war? It certainly won't be that people just absolutely hate Bush and are sick of him and his lame ass policies. They mistrust him, his "advisers," (aka as the puppet-masters) the lies and cheating, the co-opting religion to pander to a segment of one issue society for political gain, the whole gamut of methods used by this administration for the killing democracy. They'll have to find some reason to explain what everyone else in the nation has known for four dern years - and why they missed the call. I'm betting they go with cell phones.

1. One thing for sure...
... you won't hear O'Really and Matthews and Scarborough and Coulter and all the others saying, "well, gee, folks, we fucked up." :P

2. "UN manipulation"
http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/week_2004_10_31.php#003903

The excuses begin ...

In tomorrow's Washington Times, Cliff May says that if Bush loses it will be because of "UN manipulation" behind the al Qaqaa story.

That, and of course liberal media bias.

4. Here: "uniformed, emotional voters" and "minorities"
basically, its isn't ALL of us: just the ones of us that "don't count" to them

Fuck them.
