US 2008 Elections: My Suspicions...

My suspicion of what is happening right now is this...

The GOP is so extremely desperate. And in this desperation they seem to have mapped out a strategy for victory. I believe that it is quite diabolical and far reaching. Here is what I think is happening:

1. The GOP and media outlets that are sympathetic to the GOP are trying to make the US populace believe that this is a tight race.
2. These powerful people in high places have quieted the damaging stories to hit Mccain-like the possible automobile accident fatality that Mccain was allegedly involved in that took place in 1964.
3. They are also downplaying the affect of Obama's organization, ground game, and money in traditionally red-leaning states.
4. Meanwhile, they are turning up the volume on stories mysteriously timed to have the most impact near election day against Senator Obama, like Obama's aunt.
5. All the while Obama's numbers are still holding steady and even building further.
6. The GOP would have you to believe that ACORN and the Democrats are trying to tamper with democracy. All the while, stories continue to crop up of voting machine malfunctions-all in favor of Mccain!
7. If it turns out to be close-they might try to steal it. If it becomes a run away victory for Obama, then prepare to hear cries of foul coming from the Mccain camp...

Either way-1. Get out and vote, go volunteer, make calls, and donate!

If you see anything foul taking place at the polls then here are some resources:
