I think I have you to thank for your cheery outlook on the elections, especially about that pesky vote fraud worry I was carrying around for the last few days.
Like a lot of people, I stopped by DU late last night for a look around. They're suicidal and fully expecting to be sent to concentration camps very soon. Lots and lots of paranoia there centered on vote fraud and Wellstone's "accident," both of which they blame the president for.
I have nicknamed President Bush "The Stealth President." He works behind the scenes rather than on television. Racicot set up a fantastic grass roots effort. Meanwhile, although all vote fraud wasn't stopped, it was checked in critical areas (St. Louis, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Indian reservations). Lots of detail work on this election. The President is enormously popular, which didn't hurt. Adding Rudy Guiliani to the mix was also a plus.
Darn good politics from a stupid frat boy wasn't it? Heheheh.
