Here we go. Not hundreds,,,thousands. He is not going to accept it if he loses. He is going to make 2000 look like a stroll in the park.

That much is obvious. If he can, expect him to find a way to sue Romney before the election.

His favorite kind of election is the type when he is the only candidate.

...and likely stashing thousands of pre-stuffed ballot boxes which will turn up in the trunks of thousands of cars wherever they’re needed. (Oh, and not to mention “resurrecting” thousands of dead voters in Chicago.)

Thousands of real heavy hitters, no doubt.

Seriously, unless there is massive voter fraud, the what sort of lawyer spends time and effort on “election day” law? puppy lawyers, paralegals and dregs.

They had legions of lawyers standing by in Wisconsin, too...
To quote Hugh Hewitt: “If it’s not close, they can’t cheat”

It’s our job to make sure it’s not close.

Every dem does this. As a citizen non lawyer poll watcher, I am always stared down by the other side. I am alone, while they have three at a polling site. The lawyers who get dispatched to polling places are not all that intimidating. They just want us to believe that they are. Poll watching is always an interesting dance, I highly recommend it, particularly in this election.

that explains why the DNC is out of cash with all the fundraising going on in L.A and lots of other places he is spending money faster than he can get it donated.

Like ‘08 ?

I’m not crazy about Romney but he is sure running a helluva lot better campaign than McCain did.

Actually, assuming he actually can recruit ‘thousands,’ it’s probably politically oriented lawyers who’d volunteer their services for the day to buy street cred with the local party apparatus.

Weird how the commies are so fond of commie “lawyers”. Every commie ‘RAT has at least one “lawyer” in each pocket. I guess it’s that “somebody else’s money” thing that draws them together.

Exactly. I am waiting for the Chicago-style dirty tricks to start.

Obama didn’t use any against McCain, because, well... let’s face it, it’d be like using a high-powered rifle and scope to shoot dairy cows in a barn and McCain had no interest (seemingly) in winning anyhow.

Mitt’s a different story. He fights. But Obama has no interest at all in fighting fair. He’ll use every tactic he can or his evil henchmen can lay hands on. And the worse it looks, the nastier he’ll get.

I do not put anything — including physical violence — beyond him.

We need to get that part dialed in.

[sigh] What could have been.

If it's not close, they can't cheat.
