Americans HATE the Republican Party right now, and are extremely unlikely to vote for any Republican in November for any post for any reason. Sure, some will win re-election to their school boards and House seats, but without wholesale election fraud, Republicans simply cannot win in November. Never mind Rasmussen polls or MSNBC trying to drum up ratings by keeping the idea of a horse race alive. It's simply not the case. All the historical analysis shows that we are in for a monumental win. People are hurting, people are tired of the Bush family and they are tired of the war, and they are tired of being lied to. And they know they've been lied to.
Now, all that said, there is still the very real possibility of election fraud on the part of the GOP. And even if you don't believe that, consider the roll of the GOP-backed/backing media, who just did a boffo job of ignoring John Edwards into oblivion. They know the value of a "razor thin" margin and what a horse race does for their ratings/profits. If they reported to you that it was a runaway lock for the Democrat, ANY Democrat, would you really bother to tune in to hear them blather on and on about it? Of course not. We watch their bullshit for the same reason we watch an exciting do-or-die playoff game. It's exciting. Take away that excitement by virtue of a sure-thing win for ANY candidate and they lose viewers faster than Britney loses kids.
The media is manipulating this for their own gain. Just look at the explosive crazy graphics and Fox Sports-style graphics the Cabal News Networks are employing to spice up their coverage and hold our interest. This is BIG business for them, and therefore you can be absolutely certain that after they've officially anointed McCain and Clinton as our only choices, it will STILL be a virtual 50-50 tie running running right up until election day. Just like every election since BushCo installed Diebold machines across the nation and stopped any real exit polling. Didn't you ever ask yourself how this came to be, these always-razor-thin margins, despite the popularity or lack thereof of the candidates running? Because it keeps us hooked, just like any good ol' fashioned sports rivalry does. They've learned how to herd us, and we moo along every time.
But don't buy it. Don't despair. Just get all your friends to come with you to the polls, bring your grandma, bring every Democrat you know an lock your republican relatives in the attic (where the crazies belong anyway). We'll do fine in November. Just keep fighting the good fight. After all, we're simply better than them. We always have been.
