We have the emotion, the backlash, the issues, and discontent, but we don't have the passion for a fight. And that's what is about to get the elec tion tight enough that the dirty tricks in the voting booth and counting will work.
"But we don't have the passion for the fight (and that's what is about to get the election tight enough)" I think he means "the passion for the fight" IS going to get it close enough for the dirty tricks to work for them! That is how I read it.
I think its unclear enough that we could get embarassed by this though.
I've been wrong before though. Time will tell, I guess.
