It is not that I watch MSNBC 16 hours a day or anything.</p> <p>I just think that all this is a sham; even though I am certainly caught up in this sham.</p> <p>I read 5? articles today on mainstream web sites that no matter who wins the election the losers will claim fraud; fraud in the machinery used to count votes; fraud in the registration rolls; fraud in messaging from the state officials involved in the counting; fraud in messaging from candidates...</p> <p>If I was a senator and Mitt won, I would vow to filibuster every single damn initiative he ever sent the Senate. Nothing accomplished would be better than something accomplished according to his fascist initiatives.</p> <p>And the repubs will do the same if Obama secures another term.</p> <p>After reviewing Nate Silver and a number of other number crunchers; Mitt is dead as far as I am concerned.</p> <p>I am getting 50 emails a day from dem groups telling me to do something; asking me to give money; praying that I vote correctly.</p> <p>And there is no algorithm around that would not peg me as a liberal dem.</p> <p>The dems have more folks 'on the ground' than repubs by a factor of two or three.</p> <p>Nobody knows what Americans think.</p> <p>But I know that almost every time an election ad comes on the tellie I change the channel or mute the sound.</p> <p>I cannot believe that most Americans do not do the same thing.</p> <p>We just had a debate aired at a time when the NFL was televised along with the last playoff game determining the team to meet Detroit at the World Series. And so I was flabbergasted that some 56 million folks 'tuned in'.  Did these folks go back and forth from the games to the debate?</p> <p>I am ranting on long to long.</p> <p>I do believe that the South will vote for Mitt by a percentage of 65%-35%.</p> <p>The numbers involved in those states might push the popular vote north of the median but I am sure that the electoral college is going to kill the repubs.</p> <p>My prediction is that 320 votes in the electoral college will go to Obama.</p> <p>But the state by state Congressional elections keep me on edge and watching the returns closely.</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 24 Oct 2012 19:48:37 +0000 Richard Day comment 168622 at http://dagblog.com
