"Bradley Effect" - aka "How the GOP will explain stealing a close election"

[Hugabear]

The GOP has learned their lesson from 2004, when exit polls clearly showed a win for Kerry in Ohio, yet somehow the GOP managed to "win" the actual vote. Afterwards, we learned of Diebold machines mysteriously shutting down, 'flipping' votes from one candidate to another, and other practices that really call Ohio's results into question.

IMHO, if we can get an overwhelming number of Obama votes, the GOP won't be able to steal this election. However, if the election is relatively close, the GOP will do everything in their power to steal it once again. To this end, they are currently pushing the "Bradley Effect" theory to preemptively explain why exit polls on Nov. 4th will show a Obama win while the actual "votes" show a McCain win.

The only way for us to win will be a decisive Obama victory. Anything too close, and the GOP will steal it again.

1. As in 2006, this CANNOT BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO STEAL. GOTV!!!

2. The way to make sure the vote is not stolen is to make sure the GOP aren't in charge

of the voting.

3. Agree 100%

I posted essentially the same thing yesterday and was denounced as a "troll".

Notice McCain's 'new' stump speech contains a specific reference to him being "six points" behind in the polls - the very same margin the MSM is constantly giving for the so-called Bradley Effect!

4. Did you see what happened...

in upstate NY? The absentee ballots that were sent out in one county had Osama instead of Obama printed on them, even the Dems are calling it a typo. Well there are five letters in Obama and 26 letters in the alphabet, what are the odds that the second letter of Obama's name was replaced with the 19th letter of the alphabet by accident? NY won't hurt us, but how many other tricky ballots are out there in swing states?
