Reply #25: They were terrified by Kerry's huge advantage in new voter...

...registrations (Dems 57% vs. Repubs 41%), and by the enthusiasm of the grass roots campaign to oust the Bush Cartel. Almost all Nader voters also jumped to Kerry (80+%). Gore 2000 repeat voters were also hot to oust the Cartel as well, due to anger over 2000 election fraud, and hideous events since then (100,000+ mass slaughter of Iraqis, mostly by our bombs, mostly innocent civilians; and widespread torture of prisoners). The Gore 2000 repeat voters were the ones who got family, friends, co-workers to register and vote for the first time--all to oust the Bush Cartel.

And Bush's idiot performance in the debates. And so much else.

So they had to use every fraud plan that had put into place in order to "win" (--save one, the "terrorist alert" they had so carefully prepped in the "news" prior to the election--did you ever wonder, as I did, why Dick Cheney flew to Hawaii, of all places, two days before the election? I think it was part of the "terrorist alert" plan that wasn't used--VP's plane in trouble over the Pacific, something like that = "terrorist alert" shutdown of California freeways on election day. --???).

Anyway, what I see is that the "old pols" didn't really trust the "new techies" and their promises--and so they had many backup plans, most of which they had to use, given the blowout win for Kerry that was developing (and that in fact occurred).
