1. The Reich has stolen the last 2 Presidential Elections

Palast and others think this one is already stolen and you just don't know it yet.

Grampy setting up a transition team is NO IDLE THREAT.

7. I am staying up all night on election night

I am 57 yrs old,and my heart cannot go thru another blast like the one it took in 2004 when I went to bed thinking Kerry won and woke up to Bush. I will make swaths of coffee and espresso and pour libations of chocolate into the brew and smoke a thousand cigarettes and bite my nails, whilst still attempting to stay in Zen mode throughout the night, which will be somewhat difficult because I know the talking heads will all be on high-alert tittering at ultra-decibels as they jabber their latest analysis at me via the live feed on my PC.
I hope Greg Palast is wrong. I want to hope he is.

15. We should probably set up a Michigan Election Watch Night ... lots of coffee and carbohydrates.

.... and periodic circumnavigations of the block, getting fresh air and relieving stress.

6. I can see one way this would make sense, with no chicanery involved

Even if McCain thinks he'll probably lose the election, he wouldn't want to in effect announce that to Republican voters by not setting up a transition team while Obama does so.

16. Last week I read in the Huff, the McCain thought a transition team was superstitous

I think he threw something together because Obama has one in place already

13. Optimist, no. He still believes that the election will be

stolen for him. And, there is that possibility.
