1. I voted for the Democrat, but your poll should have considered the Bloomberg dynamic
He could "Perot" the proceedings, and with Chuck Hagel as his VP, who knows?

2. Stolen after Democratic fecklessness yet AGAIN leaves it close enough to steal.
Everyone's spouting the usual pablum; starting to sound like the same song, different verse.:banghead:

3. Democrat is sworn in as president; 12:02 pm, Cheney/Bush engineered terra attacks begin in Midwest
Edited on Mon Jul-23-07 09:59 PM by Rabrrrrrr
due to secret deals they've been making with the Saudis, causing instant panic and uprising in America's heartland.

Democratic presidential administration completely hamstrung by days and days of constant surprise attacks on American soil (blue cities only, of course), fueled by constant haranguing and second-guessing by "liberal" media, driven by Rupert Murdoch and other right wing shitbags who own Haliburton and other companies that profit from fear and war. Impossible for Dem President to get military mobilized due to complete fucking up by Bush/Cheney that would take a year to fix under the best circumstances. Rightwing "Christian" fundamentalists inspire "Christian" South to secede from Union while New England burns to ground. Anarchy ensues in most places, infrastructure falls apart, and in Southwest, "Wetback Sniping" becomes treasured past time. Price of oil skyrockets, leaving Cheney and Bush rolling in laughter at their newfound wealth, enjoyed in their lush private fortress ranches from which they engineer continued civil unrest, terrattacks, and other mayhem.

9. I'm in a particularly shitty mood tonight - my throat and ear hurts.
x(

I wouldn't put it past the fuckers to have made some kind of secret deal with the Saudis or other terrorists, like Reagan did with Iran. Except instead of a secret deal that resulted in the release of American prisoners, this one will result in the deaths of tens of thousands, just out of psychotic hatred and unchecked greed and ego.

4. Then Cheney, like his pal Kenny-Boy Lay meet ascends to the next level...
... Kenny, being in the witness protection program ever since faking his heart attack, has stashed all the goods and finds a new identity, living high off the hog in Dubai. Cheney, trying to avoid being offed by just about everyone in the universe, gets a new face (donating the old one to a rifle range in in MT) during his next stent replacement.

:evilgrin: :evilgrin: ..." We sure fooled them!"

8. Sad to say, but I think, if Fred Thompson is their nominee, that
he will be sworn in and Diebold won't have a damn thing to do with it.

I can already see the media gearing up to position "the folksy Republican" against the "brassy Democrat" (psst... and (s)he's a woman, black person, girly man... take your pick, too! Oh. My. God!!)

Can't you guys see that?

I was a reporter for 12 years and now I HATE the media.

19. A very plausible scenario
Should have been one of the options in the poll.

10. If we are lucky,
both Bush and Cheney will immediately be put under arrest for transfer to the Hague as War Criminals.

P.S. They can also take Laura and Barney.

12. Not Barney!
He'll dig up new evidence that they tried to wag the dog and then point the way to all the boners Bush and Cheney pulled while trying to cover over the fact that their bite was worse even than their bark. Then he'll shake it off, living in the lap of luxury after scenting his road to fame with his barking-mad tale, "Pointers and Setters: My Life as a Gay Dog in the White House."

14. HRC and her VP Joe Bidden will take office
Or will louse to the rethug by a small margin confirming the MSMs point that we are a divided country
But no matter ether way nothing much will change except in a cosmetic way.
Meet the new boss
Same as the old bass

16. Other: manufactures national crisis postpones elections
Which somehow, in some Rovian manner, either keeps BushCo in charge or lets the Republican hopeful 'win' the election

17. "Our" Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is hijacking HR 811 to lay the groundwork to...
... hand it to "them". He's caving in to Diebold-funded special interest groups behind closed doors and gutting the one bill that would do something toward protecting 2008 with voter-verified paper ballots and audits.

The theat from paperless electronic voting is very real and the Democratic Party just doesn't get it.

I am tired of "losing" these elections after emptying my wallet and working my ass off. I am not donating one damn dollar to ANY national Democratic candidate until this paperless electronic voting problem is taken care of, nor will I work to support any.

22. We control the state governments in every swing state but Florida
Diebold isn't a problem until the GOP gets their hands on the state governments again.
