If Obama wins the electoral vote, will the mass-media admit that he's won the election?
Edited on Fri Oct-03-08 05:22 AM by Franks Wild Years
I mean, in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary (not only in Biden's far superior gasp of the issues, but in the public voting him comfortable winner of the debate) many of them are trying to spin last night's debate as a draw and in some cases a win for Palin. So, if Obama has conclusively won, for instance, over 300 electoral votes on election night and secured a resounding victory, will the media try to hold out and suggest that McCain can manipulate time and gravity in order to come back from the brink?

2. They will likely "keep the question open" on a few states
(on enough states, speaking in terms of electoral votes) on election night. Then it will be down to a couple of districts, where hoards of Repig operatives (or Blackwater hires) will be airlifted to disrupt the local Board of Elections, throwing the apparent results into question.

Confused election workers (what percent are over 65?) who have never had to deal with anything like this will be flustered into conceding whatever the invading thugs are demanding.

What would you do if this happened in YOUR district?
