"Democrats Win Landslide Victory"

[onenote]

That's the headline on a fundraising appeal a colleague of mine (who has managed to get himself on virtually every political email list, including Obama's, Hillary's, the DNCC, etc) got from the Repubican National Senatorial Committee (signed by none other than Bill Frist). Here's how it starts:

Dear Republican Supporter,

I have a real fear of waking up to this headline after the elections this fall. Make no mistake about it: If our grassroots teams fail to come together and work as hard as they did in 2000, 2002 and 2004, that headline could very likely be the result! In key states, news accounts indicate Democrats are outpacing Republicans registering voters. We also know Barack Obama's campaign is utilizing the Internet to raise record amounts of money to support his campaign and Democrats nationally ... all in the hope that new voters and record resources will produce a Democrat landslide victory this fall."


I love the smell of desperation, don't you?

1. We need to watch the polls very closely on November 4

The mechanisms the Republicans used to slant the vote in their favor are still there. I am worried about subterfuge and fraud again this election.

2. The pre-election polls in '04 were pretty much spot on.
