The sheeple are easily led. Just saying.
The premise of this piece is not necessarily true. “Dewey Defeats Truman”
Sad but true...!
This is right out of the Establishment playbook: cause the insurgents to lose heart by repeating, over and over again, that the election is over, their guy is going to win easily, etc.... Nobody on our side should accept that. This is just a call to work harder.
Back in the old days, before the rules were changed, seniority in congress allowed Southern states like South Carolina to wield some power against the larger northern states. Once a pol got in office, he was pretty much guaranteed reelection, often unopposed. That is why Strom Thurmond was reelected until he dropped dead at age 99. The rules have changed, but I suspect that old habits die hard and Linda Graham is reaping the benefits.
