Opaque Lucidity

If It's Not Close, They Can't Cheat

According to Rasmussen, Senators Obama and McCain are tied in current polls. These numbers are essentially meaningless now and will continue to be until well after the conventions. Ultimately, the only poll that matters is the one held on the first Tuesday in November.

It will be worrisome if the race is still close going into late October. Put simply, the Democrats will cheat if the vote is close. They did it in Florida in 2000 and they tried to make an issue of the Ohio vote in 2004. Much to his credit, John Kerry put an end to that speculation by ceding the race to President Bush before Michael Moore could roll over there and destroy the republic. No one should be surprised to see Democratic lawyers showing up like so many roaches anywhere the race is close, especially in inner city areas. They have a long tradition of stealing elections, such as the Kennedy election in 1960, which was delivered by all the dead people who voted in Chicago.

Keep in mind that one large city can deliver a state, and one important state can turn the election. My hope and prayer, although unlikely, is that McCain will disassemble Obama in the next few months, although it looks as if he can do a good job of that on his own just by opening his mouth when there's no teleprompter present. To steal a book title from Hugh Hewitt, if it's not close they can't cheat.
