US Election

These days I'm lucky if I get to skim LJ, and so may have missed other people who have the same concern I do. I think many of my friends want Obama to win, for all sorts of good reasons. Things are looking good, with many big Republicans even publically supporting him.

But while everyone seems to be hoping for an Obama victory, I have yet to hear anyone express the niggling fear I've had since day one - the bastards stole one election and got clean away with it, who is to say they won't do it again?

I had the same fear. I suspect the main reason it didn't happen was that the party machine decided it wasn't worth the risk just to get a McCain/Palin victory: better to let a Democrat try to clean up Bush's mess ( http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/black_man_given_nations) and wait until 2012 to blame him for anything that couldn't be fixed.
