Do you think Kerry/Edwards has a Plan?
I do. Maybe it's wishful thinking.

I think they've got something good brewing.

They put the heat on Shrub. Shrub is itching to get up on the riser and give another Idiot Speech but he can't because the other boys won't let him have his toy back.

3. At some point Bush
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 04:04 AM by PATRICK
decided to go for it. That had to be in addition to voter suppression. it had to be to dare chugging up the BBV. That was because no one, no one has held it successfully to account.


Remember. They had to win. This is an impossible result.for a president in an impossible bind.

It is a bigger coup d'etat. Was the choice that hard? They couldn't give up.

Someone tell Kerry's people it HAD to be recent. Sometime before Cheney took off to Hawaii and the downcast Bush started acting braver. I don't think Bush, faced with certain defeat even blinked at OKing the final strategy, one they might have employed anyway to sweeten the pot against a weaker Dem candidate. I think they had to drag in improbable Senate and House races too simply not to have it stand alone. The across the board crap which had to affect NJ too has to be BBV and the tabulation system. If ANYTHING I think they erred on the side timidity thinking they could steal Hawaii. Again, Bush didn't even think it was goin to be this close but the PV looks blatantly absurd this time, nonetheless. Kerry with less than Gore?

And why not? Still no one is looking at it and few (mostly here) saying it. Of course it is not encouraging that nothing is likely to be done for scads of other strategies THAT WERE NOT GOING TO BE SUFFICIENT but which have crimped the margin substantially.

They are goddamn fascist frauds.

4. Bush is declaring victory without the necessary 270 EV
This is the move of a desperate person. He is screwed if the votes are counted. Kerry will take this as far as it needs to go to prove that.

6. Maybe not out of their asses...
...but out of the black boxes.

I don't know if that's what they're gonna do, but all I know is that my fascism alarm went off immediately when I heard them claiming that the vote totals were different than the exit polls.

Remember, Slobo Milosevic got caught stealing his last election when the vote tallies didn't match the exit polls.

7. Nope, it's over
They are just letting us down slowly because we all had such high hopes. Nothing that can be done to pull this out, unfortunately.
