This WILL hurt, but it is needed. No more heads in the sand. Time to come out in NUMBERS.

1. Yup. I been yelling about this too.
The one little ray of hope I keep experiencing comes from my observation of Obama and his team. It seems to me that they have done a really good job of analyzing everything that went wrong in 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2006, and have found counters for what happened. For example, they cut Corsi off at the knees when he showed up with his latest Swiftboat book, and they blew apart the Ayers nonsense in rapid order. Not even Fox would touch it. It is hard for me to imagine that they, who have moved so effectively and so deftly so far, haven't already devised a counterpunch for the electronic voting machines. I can also imagine that their counterattack may require secrecy.

I know this may sound totally stupid on my part, but I'm thinking they may have more ducks in line than we can see from here.

2. I keep remembering 2006
We won and I was astonished. It was because we came out IN FORCE.

3. I think our win would have been much bigger if it had been a fair election.
Rove thought a 5% "adjustment" would hld the majority for him & he was wrong. That stolen 5% would have given us 60 seats instead of 51.
