2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSo, if everything keeps trending for Obama (including the exit polls Nov 6th).....
...and then we wake on Nov. 7th to learn that somehow they have installed Mittens as the winner?
Will y'all be joining me in the streets? Will it finally be too much to take?

Do the powers that be really want to deploy these tactics to install Romney over Obama? Romney is emerging as a loose cannon who may not be easily controlled. Obama has governed as a traditional conservative, and has not challenged the 1%, except rhetorically.
OTOH, I think they do want to make sure that they keep one house of Congress in order to prevent any progressive legislation.

And if Romney has been installed on November 7th, I will be VERY suspicious at this point. There's still time for him to salvage his campaign at this point if Obama were to make some major mis-step or something. But it's going to be hard to convince someone like me, even at this point, that Mittster actually wins.
