with all the variables, we have the stage set for a dozen "Florida 2k's"... the voter suppresssion, the still broken machines, and whatever mischeif (machine shortages ect) that enable election fruad (as opposed to voter fraud).. not to mention the outright buying of the election with citizens united..
part of this we could have seen coming.. this voter fruad stuff went back to the U.S. attourney's scandal in 06 that was when the GOP tried to make the case for voter fruad, despite the lack of evidence , that theme has been been put forward and enabled by Alec, with the tea party republicans after the 10 elections..
i beleive the republican partys strategy is 2 fold.. first the Mitch Mc Connel slash and burn narrative (if we make the electorate miserable enough Obama will not be elected).. that isn't working as the economy is now in recovery.. failing that the only option they have is to appeal to the conservative base, using the culture war themes, and hatred..
the bad news is that this may work (after all who could have seen the twists of 2000, 2004..) as has been mentioned this time the theft of an election would put many folks in the street.. the good news for our side is that the changing demographics are in our favor.. it seems to me that teh latest efforts on teh culture wars, accomplish 2 things.. first they of course want to enact legislation while they have the strength, and where possible stay in power.. the other scanario is a group who's time has come to leave, fighting a rear guard action, in the face of demographic change the inevibably overwhelm them..
