Elections are not a science. The result is never really known until the votes get counted. As confident as I was that President Obama would win, I did not go to sleep until the Ohio results were called for him. One never knows, really, until the polls close.

Rove couldn't imagine that Obama would win. All of his toadies told him that Romney would win.

Too many people would have to know that an election was rigged. That's the problem. How many people can you trust with a bombshell secret? I maintain that that number is zero.
