Reply #11: Somebody called Malloy's show the night before the election and he

[bunny planet]

told him that there wasn't anything that could be done, they were going to steal the election. He said Kerry would have to get over 70% of the vote in order to foil them stealing it. He was a lawyer, and something about the way he explained it or the tone of his voice, he sounded so sad, made me sit up and take notice...... I went to bed that night and told my husband that I was afraid it would be stolen.

I got up early, put on my little Eminem-style mosh the vote hoodie and went off to vote. My town is very democratic leaning, so the vibe was very Kerry here. Came back from voting pumped, doing the happy dance. I even sang songs 'Ding Dong the Witch is dead, whatever, then got back to work.

I had friends over that night to watch the results and John Stewart's special. I even bought a bottle of champagne, I've always blamed myself for jinxing it by doing that. We didn't watch much network coverage of the poll results coming in, just Dan Rather, cause we know he despises *. At a certain point in switching back and forth between channels we all turned to each other, with wide-eyed stares. We said it almost in unison, all 6 of us watching, 'They stole it again,' It was the most awful sinking feeling. I'd been waiting since election night 2000 for this nightmare to be over. I hope it will be sooner than 2008, much sooner, if you catch my drift.
