I've noticed the national media are already promoting stories hinting at Republican voter fraud and voter intimidation. On consecutive days, New York Times columnists Bob Herbert and Paul Krugman ran columns claiming, respectively, that Florida was harrassing black voters (because the state is investigating allegations of DEMOCRATIC voter fraud), and that electronic voting machines can be used to manipulate elections for Republicans. Meanwhile, the left-wing weekly "The Nation" has a cover story suggesting that the Republicans are planning to steal the election. I also saw a political cartoon on the Republican-voter-fraud theme in the local paper. It sems that the Dems are once again planning election-day and post-election chaos if things don't turn out their way.

Of course the dims are setting the stage for post election chaos. If Kerry wins, they will say it's because America rose up to reject the evil Bush and took back their country. If Bush wins, they will say it's because the evil Republicans stole the election. Obviously not because more people actually wanted Bush. That's impossible.

Can you picture Kerry giving this concession speech?

"I'd like to congratulate my opponent on winning this election fair and square. I guess most Americans actually don't want higher taxes and terrorist appeasement. And I gotta admit, they saw right through those whoppers about Viet Nam. I will support President Bush as he continues to lead this country forward."

HA ha. Fat chance!
