Campaign wise, yes. Election wise, no. They're organizing goons to steal the election. freshwest Sep 2012 #10

President Obama must go in with the view that he is debating Romney and the Moderator if tonights 60 Minutes show is any measure.

Remember many a championship ballgame. Don't "run out to your car in the 7th or 8th to beat the traffic".

I did that one time...we were down so far and playing like crap and it can hours to get out of Chavez Ravine. But one time only. I barely got the key in the lock and this thundering noise came blaring from the stadium...From the time I waded my way down, somehow they got three on and a grand slam homer. Sh## happens.

So worried about the impact of voter fraud/suppression.

Maddow: Tea party groups trying to steal election via voter purges (North Carolina)

They'll do this in every state they can. Look to see them send in frivolous challenges to voters just before election day, shenanigans by tea bagger election judges, etc.

Good if he's throwing in the towel because the President is so much better and will undoubtedly win.

Bad if he's just going through the motions because he knows a fix is in.



Damn those bastards for their voter fraud, election fraud, voter suppression, etc. etc. etc.

I can't help thinking what an incredibly different world it would be had Al Gore been allowed to take his rightful seat. I know it's not constructive to think that way but sometimes I can't help it.
