He doesn't have to try, he doesn't have to woo the voters, he doesn't need a comprehensive plan, he doesn't have to even show up. The Republicans underestimated the margin by which they needed to cheat in 2008. They won't be making that mistake again. Republicans own the voting machines which means they control the outcome. I won't be at all surprised if he wins -- I'll vomit for a week, but I won't be surprised.
