32. It's the perfect conspiracy theory - the proof is *NOTHING HAPPENED*, because there were 2

conspiracies. Thus the first, evil, conspiracy was cancelled by the second, virtuous, conspiracy - and the proof is that the election was won by Obama, just as the opinion polls and Nate Sivler predicted!

You can't let a simple thing like the absence of evidence get in the way of the need for conspiracy theories to shout about. All the proof needed that Karl Rove was up to something nefarious was that he had a sad on election night, which must mean he had been foiled in illegal activity. It couldn't possibly mean just that his theory, effectively racist, that Obama's support was too lazy to turn out and vote, had been proved wrong. That just wouldn't make him evil enough.
