Reply #22: I think Thom Hartman is pretty smart.

I, for one, think the election has a much better than 50/50 chance of being stolen again.

The M$M might allow the Democrats to take the House, but the Senate will remain safe for the GOP.

Having read post after post chastising those who think these questions are defeatist and demoralizing, I've kept my keyboard to myself. However, I am Very pessimistic. And I BLAME the Democrats. They have basically said and done squat since Bush stole the election in 2000. The Diebold premiere was in Georgia 2002 where the Rethugs won "surprising" victories. The Democrats remained silent. Then came Ohio (and other states) in 2004. Except for Barbara Boxer, the Democrats were again silent.

All that bullshit about 'values voters' and the supposed GOP GOTV Machine has been proven to be incompatible with the statistics. The Democratic Party has yet to stand up on its hind legs and bray about the stolen elections. I'm quite amazed that they think it won't happen again.
