Y'all give yourselves too much credit. Short of Stein/Honkala being arrested at the Hofstra Univ debate, there has been little oxygen for third party contenders. No, if O loses, it will be because of True the Vote challenging thousands of Democratic voters forcing them to vote by provisional ballot which will then, of course, be tossed out. You're gonna have to really turn up the volume to drown that mess out.
