You are right, IMO, they are desparate and they WILL try to cling to power, by some Oct. surprise terror/war and by all the election fraud they can get away with
BUT
o The House elections are a little messier to steal, since they are local in nature, and not every district is controled by Diebold types and/or corrupt (i.e. rethug) election boards.
o Also, a much larger proportion of Americans today are receptive, to say the least, to the idea that the 'thugs really do steal elections, than were receptive even after 2004.
The conclusions I draw: If the numbers are large enough, they will either not steal enough to control both chambers of Congress, or will be so obvious about trying to steal the whole thing that FINALLY there will be a real revolt by the vast majority of Americans, including the heretofore slumbering masses, large numbers of even the wealthy classes, the military and intelligence services, many disgusted conservatives and maybe even one or two court stenographers!
I think the best things we can do are: o GOTV in HUGE numbers (including bringing sandwiches and entertainment for the inevitable 8-hour lines in heavily Dem areas), in order to make the job of stealing the election as messy/obvious as possible. o Publicize the history of election fraud NOW as loudly and widely as possible, so that the general public is paying attention on 11/7. o Mobilize/volunteer local poll watchers, with cameras and tape recorders, to get evidence. o Make plans now for revolution/resistance (such as massive demonstrations, strikes, calling for international boycotts of the no-longer-democratic US, buyers' boycott of BushCo oil, and God I don't know what else) starting when FAUX announces the 'surprising' results as the polls are closing! (Sorry, but once elections have become utterly fraudulent, working 'within the system' seems useless to me.)
