Fear upon being rolled into the operating room (for what should be a simple tonsillectomy) “ Dick Morris writes, "In The Last Few Hours…Sudden Danger Signs In Polling." He recounts how in 2000, the Sunday before the election revelation about a years-old DUI conviction against Bush (supposedly) allowed Gore to pull even in the polls.  So how is it that in our high-tech universe of flawlessly functioning electronic gadgets, voting machines are the only ones prone to human-like "error"? If there's an explanation other than human meddling, again, I'd truly like to hear it. Experts, feel free to weigh in. I remember that. It was before we knew about the democrat party strategy for putting losers into office, so I accepted that the electorate could spin on a dime over something as trivial as that (Bush had already admitted his alcohol problem as a young man).  In retrospect, I know now that what the Democrats needed was a plausible reason for Al Gore's implausible, engineered win two days later.  Except, while coming close, they couldn't quite pull the Florida caper off (thanks to some Freepers who wouldn't let Miami vote counters move the recount to a back room, and out of sight), even though Gore had 2 million lawyers in Florida beforehand . As things stand now, every indication is that Obama is going to be murdered at the polls on Tuesday, as he evidently has been in early voting (based on who's voting).  Stories like these from Glenn Reynolds are so abundant that I don't even bother to single them out any more. WOMEN’S BLOGSITE ATTACK ON ROMNEY fails even with its own commenters. ROMNEY UP BY 1 in DEEP BLUE MINNESOTA:  My Sunday Washington Examiner column: The Ground Glass Election. Based on this quote from a blog commenter: “Romney was not my first, second, or third choice, but I will crawl over ground glass to vote for him.” While it's easy to skip over Dick  Morris, Rasmussen  has far more cred.  He is in fact the only pollster I have any faith in, because he's always right.  Always (but then so was Zogby-for awhile). So how do we account for this ? The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows the race tied, with President Obama and Mitt Romney each attracting support from 48% of voters nationwide. One percent (1%) prefers some other candidate, and two percent (2%) are still undecided. See daily tracking history. It's mind blowingly counter intuitive at this point.  I've thought on this all night (really), and my conclusion is that we are dealing here with the communist party.  There's Obama's BFF,  Venezuela's "President for Life"  Hugo Chávez, and his  involvement  with U.S. voting machines?  So this American Thinker article,  Can Democrat-leaning Voting Machines Win Election for Obama? does shiver me timbers. “ Innocent malfunction...or something else? Whatever the case, this has already happened to voters in states such as Nevada, Ohio, Kansas, North Carolina, Missouri, and Colorado -- four of which are swing states. ...../ I'll make my case. First, all these stories about uncooperative machines involve votes switched in only one direction: Barack Obama's. Would this be possible if at issue were merely innocent errors? If it isn't true that these malfunctions are curiously monolithic in favor of the president, then where are the news stories to that effect?  ...  we've all used ATMs, and most everyone ... has something such as an iPod. Now, have you ever, anytime, anywhere, had one of these electronic devices switch data input on you? So how is it that in our high-tech universe of flawlessly functioning electronic gadgets, voting machines are the only ones prone to human-like "error"? If there's an explanation other than human meddling, again, I'd truly like to hear it. Experts, feel free to weigh in. [full] ”   What of  Rasmussen?  Well, if you're going to jigger poll results, and you have the expertise and resources of the Democrat Media complex, you reverse engineer him, and play to  his polling methods. That's all I have at this point. We'll see. I think our nation is at a tipping point.  Should Obama emerge as the surprise winner Tuesday, most people will see foul play, and be properly outraged.  And?  And nothing.  There will be nothing anyone can do about it.  There will be no spontaneous march on Washington by pitchfork bearing populace.  The nation's only hope at that point would be a military coup to wrest control of the nation from the Obamunist party rule.  And even then, we shall have lost. Well, maybe not.  Britain survived Cromwell.   I'd take a coup (Jeffersonian activism?) over a killer second Obama term.  ”
