7. just another reason to be thankful that Dems won
Sun Nov 18, 2012, 02:07 PM
Nov 2012

If the GOP won, it seemed as if around 80% or more of duers already had the tinfoil prepared and were going to cry a conspiracy and stolen election. That talk would have gone on for months too. Because obviously, it was impossible for us to lose fair and square.

The thinking process goes something like, ok, even though all the polls are close and have been for months, I can't accept Obama would lose! Everything must be fixed! I still see posts saying this today, that the gallup and all the polling was fixed.
