[EDIT: Boy, is it nice to be wrong. I like to think of myself as a political version of a Lions fan - with a 14-point lead and a minute to go, we'd still expect them to lose.]
The people running the McCain campaign are political geniuses. No one knows how America's going to vote better than they do.
Consider what we've seen in the Justice Department recently; consider eight years of dominance by one party over appointed positions.
Now consider this:
"FBI looks into possible Va. voter intimidation"
A little bit about Diebold, whose ATMs I sadly use...
"Voter Caging" (And you thought it was just an innocent slip of the tongue when McCain addressed "my fellow prisoners!")
"Battleground States See Pervasive Effort to Block the Vote"
"Ohio Republicans Use Lawsuit to Fight for State's Crucial Votes"
"Michigan Democrats file lawsuit against Macomb Co. GOP"
So who's ready for posters to pop up in black neighborhoods - from anonymous sources, naturally - providing the wrong date for the election [EDIT: Who called it?], or suggesting that any outstanding fines (such as money owed for traffic tickets) will get you arrested at the polls? Who's ready for a repeat of the shredded registrations debacle from 04? Who's ready for epic, discouraging lines (that remain hours long until the moment the polls close) to vote in poor neighborhoods, while wealthier districts have surplus machines sitting in storage (another 04 story)?
Who's ready for a super-narrow, one-digit-margin victory for President John McCain?
