116. Obama will win re-election
Tue Nov 6, 2012, 09:40 PM
Nov 2012

I'm pretty sure of that.

HOWEVER, every year, in every election that votes are siphoned away from us adds to the perception that some looney bin republican is close or ahead in some states or counties. A few thousand votes one year, a few thousand the next and the next thing you know it's 2012 and a blue state is being called a supposed battleground. Give it a few more years and it will be called a red state.

So rather than ceasing "with the vote rigging, supression, etc theories," we should be challenging every hint of these occurrences EVEN WHEN WE WIN. In the meantime, stay the course people. Stay in those lines and fight to be counted.

I cannot recall coming across a more irresponsible OP than this one. It pulled me out of my contentful lurking, of which I will now resume.

As you were.
