Does anyone here have a crystal ball they're not using?
I frankly bounce between irritation and helpless, gut-busting laughter at all the various wise men and others here who post with such great solemnity that they absolutely know that ONLY Candidate X is capable of defeating the Unelected Fraud in November. Someone has to ask the question: where are your crystal balls? The rest of us mere mortals have only the barest of clues about what the American electorate will be thinking in November.

Let us in on the secret, guys--- we're all Democrats. :)

1. Probably not
by the tone and pace of the pronouncements around here, all of the crystal balls are no doubt in use.

2. I thought as much myself.
The pronouncements sound pretty silly, don't they? :P

3. It's not just crystal balls

Some know only candidate X is electable because of numerology, astrology and auras.

4. Hehe!
It's some weird combination of things, pretty obviously, and that's as good an explanation as mine. :P

14. Did someone say something about balls?
You must be talking about Clark or Kerry. They have the balls to take over the war on terra.

16. What are you talking about? Did you respond to the wrong post?
If your intent was to respond to me, please explain how my post led to your conclusion that what I posted had anything to do with either Kerry or Clark.
