Poll question: Do we have any good reason(s) to believe...
...that this presidential election will NOT be stolen?

-----------------------

Can the GOP Steal The Election Again? You Betcha!

by Ernest Partridge

---snip---

John McCain's campaign is imploding as the presidential candidate lapses into incoherence and petulance, and his running-mate becomes a national laughing-stock. In the face of an impending economic meltdown, the Democratic candidates, Obama and Biden, appear to be the only adults in the contest. Meanwhile, the GOP's erstwhile dependable allies, the corporate media, are displaying moments of journalistic integrity. This presents a problem for the Republican ticket for, as Stephen Colbert aptly observed, "reality has a liberal bias."

And so the polls show an expanding lead for Obama over McCain, with no clear indication that the trend might reverse.

Conventional political "wisdom" tells us that Barack Obama and Joe Biden may be on the road to a substantial victory in November.

Sorry, folks, but I'll have to rain on this parade.

Have you forgotten? Private Republican corporations count and compile the votes with secret and unverifiable software! Just as they did in 2000 and in 2004, and we all know how that turned out.

2. I wonder if people are reading the question incorrectly.

3. I suspect they're reading it right.
Some feel that Obama's momentum and lead in the polls make such a stunt improbable, especially since so many more people are now aware of the problem.
