I hate to tell this to Pitt—I saw someone puking outside Bukowski’s a few nights ago, maybe I should’ve gone over and told him he’d feel better in 24 business hours—and many people may disagree with me, but I have come to this realization after decades of elections:

You know who wins elections?

The ones who look like they’re going to win.

How many times have I read threads here on FR, or heard Rush or many others I respect, going on about “Something’s happening in these last few days, I can feel it” or “I saw this one obscure poll showing our guy pulling even—this could be it!”

Countless times, that’s how many.

But on reflection, EVERY TIME I’ve stepped back and dispassionately looked at the prevailing direction of multiple polls, listened to my neighbors (not just my friends), seen the signs, it turns out that the one who SEEMED like he/she was going to win...won.

I haven’t seen ANY indication the dems are going to do well this year.

Yeah, after Election Night 2008, I have that lesson down pat.

What’s hilarious is that the DUmmies spend so much time talking about how the Right secretly controls the media and so many other levers of power, cheats in every election and has much of the population of the country completely bamboozled, and then they are shocked every time they don’t win an election. Every time.
