What do you fear the most in the next election?

33. Election Fraud and Voter Suppression in All the Teabagger-Controlled States

That the Republicans will not only win the House and Senate but also take over the White House?

They control enough states to steal it all. They are hard at work already, passing new voter ID laws, closing polling places, purging voting lists, and who knows what they are doing to the voting machinez!

This is also only the second election since the "Citizens United" ruling opened the floodgates to unlimited corporate contributions, and the first one went very badly for us. We will be massively outspent.

How confident are you that this will not happen?

I am confident that the Democrats would win a fair election. I am not at all confident that we will have a fair election.

What do you see happening after the next election?

I think there will be considerable unrest if it is stolen. This would put Obama in the awkward position of having come down on his own supporters, since the Supreme Court would side with the Repiglickins as they did in 2000.

Will we continue to tread water or will we make progress?

There is no foreseeable scenario that gives us a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate (in fact, the odds are strongly against our even retaining a simple majority there), so treading water at best.

If the Repiglickins "win", they will roll the clock back 70 years and keep on going.

What concerns you the most about the Republican Party?

The Repiglickins are acting as if they have it in the bag. They don't even care how much of the electorate they piss off anymore. They have access to unlimited corporate money, even foreign money now, so they will be able to outspend us many times over. They will be counting the votes in a number of states that are "must win" for us.
