How can they be so dumb, we wonder. Everybody in their right mind will deplore such vile filth. Well, the story line in SC-- which to my knowledge votes on DieBold Accuvote machines -- will be that "turned off" Obama voters stayed home while energetic Hillary supporters turned out in record numbers, moved by her latest strong-but-emotional Folgers commercial, and then vanished again.

And we'll gobble down every word Hill's CIA sockpuppets print. :crazy:

2. Never dreamed
I never dreamed that the same line of attack that DU'ers used to use against Bush is now the basis for attacking a Dem candidate. Swiftboating? Stolen elections? Sounds like 2000 and 2004 all over again.

What is up with this? Are we now reducing Dem candidates we don't like to the same level of shenanigans as RW'ers?

4. I have thought this for a long time.
First provide a plausible narrative for the upset.
Then steal the votes.
Then dismiss all suggestions of election fraud, explaining that the change is readily explained by the narrative and that consequently there is no reason to look any further.

7. Yep. Just enough dust in our eyes
to make Hill's next little miracle plausible.
