I am still afraid that they will try to steal the election.
That latest bogus Gallup Poll that has the national race within the statistical margin of error (the one that Drudge is pushing) is just what they need to make it seem plausible that McCain could still win. Look for more polls that are controlled by the corporate media to say the same thing as we get closer to election day. They are setting us up people. God I hope I'm wrong but I have a terrible feeling about this whole thing.

2. We need to win by margins too big for them to steal. We need at least 10% n/t

the 24/7 rw drumbeat on the radio is killing me - i just have to check out 'til
tuesday. The only way I can approach this is with the expectation of disappointment.

3. I am with you 100%
They will without a doubt try to steal it. We just can't let it happen. We CANT.

7. Let's hope so. But that's what people said in 2004 too, and look what happened.

6. The only way to stop this is to get out the vote.
We need all hands on deck from now through the end of election day. Knock on doors, make calls, take folks to the polls, and give till it hurts. We need to push this thing over the top in overwhelming numbers so stealing the election is simply not an option.

ITs NOW OR NEVER.

8. I am very concerned, too. However, I'm hopeful that the movement is too big.
Certainly they can explain away a lot by Bradley Effect and other theories. In 2000, they blatantly stole Florida, and that was all they needed. In 2004, they clumsily stole Ohio (possibly other states, too), with the help of a corrupt Secretary of State. Can ES&S, Diebold, Triad, Sequoia, etc. really work successfully, secretly, to steal 4 states at once? Colorado - I've written that off to Coffmanland (R). But McSHam has to win all the so-called battleground states of any size.
I'm usually the election fraud paranoid, but tonight, I'm feeling HOPE.

10. Time to get out the vote. Go to a field office and work.
If you yourself are working (making calls, recruiting volunteers and canvassing) and have the knowledge of how the Obama groundgame works and how it will continue to work until 7pm seven days from now will help alleviate your fear. Knowledge is Power. Fear is the mindkiller.

11. I don't know. CLOSE elections can be stolen.
Landslides CANNOT.

I'm not saying definitively that it will be an Obama landslide, but the indicators are there.

At the worst case, it doesn't look to be ambiguous.
