The problem with that theory is that the MSM will use their power to discourage Bush voters from voting. What is the use to go to the polls if Bush has no chance of winning? Crushing Kerry is by no means a sure thing. Ceding a battle, any battle, to the MSM does not seem like a wise course of action to me.
Possible. But I just don't see Bush voters not going to the polls. I think there are too many issues Bush voters want to vote on that this isn't going to matter. Bush voters have a reason other than "anyone but sKerry" to vote. sKerry voters don't. They hear their guy is winning they will sit home....except for the dead ones.
