The numbers were radically different, something previously unheard of. You might be on to something there, i.e., the 2004 Ohio vote tallies vs. exit polls.

That's saying something given the long and colorful history of vote fraud in this country. I think the Rethugs will not only not lose any seats in congress but will gain seats, a substantial number of seats. The last minute push of rotten tricks is just to get the margin close enough so the vote fraud will not be too obvious. The ultimate goal, I would think, is getting enough seats to make amending the constitution practical. I can foresee three amendments, a meaningless one to ban flag burning, one to write discrimination into the constitution by baning same sex unions of any sort and the big one the repeal of the 22nd amendment. That is the big one because it would mean shrub can run for a third, fourth, fifth etc. terms. In effect president for life. Of course these could wind up the paranoid ravings of a old radical or at least I hope so. But I would not put anything past this bunch of power hungry creeps.

If the Democrats don't pass legislation that brings home the bacon then they are a waste of rich folks' money. And the Democrats in charge of the party, being craven fools, will simply pull the same shit they've been pulling this last six years: false disagreement, fake stand-offs, and last-minute compromise that involves a lot of compromise from the Democrats, and none at all from the Republicans. I am totally depressed now. “rule from the center” means, in this context, prove their worth to their rich benefactors.

Boy, you really can't go home again. The best you can do is move to a smarter state, and unfortunately that doesn't seem to help the country as a whole. So, great. Happy election day.
