Trust the polls. Don't trust the COUNTERS.

I know a lot of people just waking up are ready to give up. We don't want to believe in conspiracy theories. Well, you don't have to believe in them to be skeptical of the outcome of this election.

Ask yourself this question: How is it possible that a "president" with 44% approval rating gets the 3 million more votes in an election with historically high turnout? How is this possible? Is it possible that notoriously apathetic Americans turned out to stand on line all day in Ohio to save Bush's ass? How likely is that?

Don't trust the numbers.

4. I Am Not A Californian But Gray Davis Was Polling Shit When He Beat Bill

Simon...

Some folks won't vote against you when they don't like the job you're doing because they think the other guy is worse...

And some of those folks who didn't like the direction of the country think Bush is letting it drift to the left- the Pat Buchanan types...

5. Keep these messages up --

because the dark side will keep telling the lie that bush won -- and we know that is a lie -- just as much as it was a lie in 2000

6. All reliable indicators have been thrashed.

No incumbent with approval numbers like that has ever been re-elected. No incumbent with a jobs performance like this one has been re-elected. No incumbent with a huge dip in the stock market the month before an election has been re-elected. No incumbent has ever been re-elected when polling below 50%. Pollsters have underestimated Dem performance in recent elections, now it turns a 180?

Has every circumstantial indicator from the past been completely reversed in one election cycle? It makes no sense at all.

7. Who were all those people standing out in the rain for hours yesterday?

Your basic honest rubes out to save Bush's pathetic ass? I kind of doubt it.
