Is that you Scooby Do?

That's just it... we don't know how much we have to win by to overcome the voter fraud. Hopefully we have our own armies of poll watchers quietly moving into position. It would be great to catch some of these butt-clowns red-handed this time and end this little cottage industry.

[gorydetails]

I wonder if any studies have been done on how much vote fraud could possibly effect an election? Or, how massive it would have to be to change the election results? If Bush is really up 5% points, are the dems wasting their time cheating?

[Just mythoughts]

I do not trust liberals and it is not over until the vote is certified.

Polling cannot be our guide. I keep reading about the huge numbers of 18-25 year olds registering to vote and this group is not showing up in the polls. There is too much at stake for the liberal class to let this election slip out of their hands.

It's not a debate, it's a joint appearance. Bush certainly isn't going to get in the game of picking at Kerry's arguing points. He's not going to mention "flip-flop" once. The election isn't about Mr Kerry's arguing points. It's about who will do the best job of protecting America against her enemies. Ultimately it's about character...and that doesn't come out of a tube or a salon.

"Ruh roh!"

[Joe Bonforte]

I think this guy is pretty much on-target, but he fails to note a number of variables:

1) A new October surprise. Some would say that the opponents have nothing new to offer there. But that doesn't prevent them from making stuff up, and their willing accomplices in the media would still run with it.

2) A major attack in Iraq that kills a hundred or more troops. While in the grand scheme of things, this should not be important, if it happened close to the election, it would have a big impact. (Note that attacks here in the US would probably work in Bush's favor, not against him. If the terrorists have any brains, they'll know that. Evidence on whether they have any brains is mixed.)

3) There's a very small possibility that Bush could do something in the debates that would turn the dynamic against him. In a fair campaign, it would be practically impossible for him to say anything that would do that much damage. But since the media is just looking for the opportunity to hang something on him, a comparitively small mistake could be blown way out of proportion.

4) Very low probability miscellanea - A Dick Cheney heart attack, for example.

So there's no reason to get complacent, and every reason not to. The down-ticket elections matter just as much, and lots of them are closer than the presidential election.

BTTT and bookmark -- great article and your cautionary words on vote fraud are absolutely spot on! I am fearful of a 2000 experience writ large and what that might mean for our country.

[fhlh]

blah....

Don't get COCKY!... the RATS are plannign to STEAL the election with Voter Fraud... we need to stay ON TOP OF THIS

[roses of sharon]

What complete nonsense.

Republican hacks have always been stupidly unaware of their true enemy.

They fight like girls, just like the Conservative media do, most of the time.

The elite NY and Hollywood media have full control of events, they shape our culture, our policies and education.

They shape our moods, thoughts, and words. They destroy in an instant, reputations, incomes, and lives.

The "mob" is fickle, and who controls the mob?

Maybe FR and other grass-roots can save the US from the Kerry/UN/Soros ticket.

Talk to everyone you see, every minute of everyday.

And pray.

I'm along for the ride with this article except for the opinion that "New York is in play". Don't think there's any chance at all.

[oyez]

When the Democrat candidate appears in public a golden carrot color and saying he was playing football, can the public think that it looking at anything but a freak. I guess the obligatory sock-in-the-pants Rolling Stone cover is next. Stick a fork in 'em. He's done.

[Paulus Invictus]

If every single Freeper would call or better, visit, at least 10 friends and family members and make sure they get out and vote for our great president, that could mean a million extra votes. Do it! I am.

[Vision]

If Bush has this all sewn up, let's go after voter fraud.

[najida]

We need to keep fighting until the very last minute....

The wider the margin, the more the Dems will see their defeat....and no way could they call for a recount.

[CedarDave]

Damn!! I'm not even going to read the thread comments before making mine. For a senior Pubbie consultant to make such a comment in public and in writing is irresponsible. It will engender complacency among our voters and allow the Dim's fraudulent votes to have even more impact. Even if the Presidential campaign is nearly settled, thousands of other races that are close may be tipped if our voters stay home. And we need those officials, especially senators, to get the judges we need on the bench and to stem the tide of increasing Federal government bureaucracy and regulation. Never let your guard down until AFTER the polls close and all votes are counted (or challenged if necessary).

[Auntie Toots]

I also want to add my two cents to the postings. We can not get the least bit complacent or let our guard down. It even bothers me that there is so much hoopla about Bush trouncing Kerry in the first debate. We can not be sure of anything.

Even though I will have one heck of a time even watching or listening when Kerry speaks, I totally despise this man, there will be others who think he is just great. And you can bet the liberal pundits on all the MSM including Fox, will brag about good he did.

[Quicksilver]

I agree with Mr. Carny's assessment of the race as it stands now; however, we must keep our focus squarely on the ball, not the scoreboard.
