1. I'm not sure "winning" will enter into it.
I think "stealing" is more likely. The Republicans cannot win based upon demographics, but they own all the voting maching companies. This is the end for them, and I don't expect they'll let it go without a fight. And we all know, they fight dirty. Very dirty.

5. Well, yes...and no.
When I say it is "the end" for the Republicans, I mean that in strictly demographic terms. They cannot win future elections. They cannot WIN them, but they can steal them. And I believe they will. We were hoodwinked into this new Democratic hope and change guy, and it meant we couldn't scream about rigged voting machines anymore, because we "won." But look at what we won. Now, it's a perfect set-up to have those machines tilt everything back to the GOP, and they can just say "Well, everyone was pissed off at Obama!" These guys are planners. Democrats keep thinking there is goodness in people's hearts or some such bullshit. And so we get shit on every time, while they dance on our graves.

3. That's how it's done. Than meet in the middle at 4% increase.
