Will both major candidates be claiming victory in the presidential election? Could be.
John Kerry realizes that the worst blunder Al Gore made in his coup attempt four years ago was not immediately claiming, however falsely, that he had been elected. Thus "Kerry, bracing for a potential fight over election results, will not hesitate to declare victory Nov. 2 and defend it, advisers say. He also will be prepared to name a national security team before knowing whether he's secured the presidency," the Associated Press revealed today.
Goodness, he hasn't been so quick to move since that time he fled his photo opportunity at Wendy's for his own private gourmet feast.
Gore "never declared victory, an omission Kerry's advisers - many of whom worked for Gore - now believe created a sense of inevitability in voters' minds about Bush's presidency," AP reported.
Premature Expectation
Kerry's mouthpiece Stephanie Cutter said, "We will be ready to hit the ground running and begin a fresh start in this country, given that so many critical issues are before us."
Kerry's squad of election thieves, in addition to all the voter registration fakers and those Democrat judges who are allowing the fraud, includes six "'SWAT teams' of lawyers and political operatives [that] will be situated around the country with fueled-up jets awaiting Kerry's orders to speed to a battleground state. The teams have been told to be ready to fly on the evening of the election to begin mounting legal and political fights. Every battleground state will have a SWAT team within an hour of its borders," AP reported.
'Big Cause for Concern'
But should the Massachusetts leftist be so sure of his chances when even many of his own supporters expect him to fail?
The Washington Times noted today, "While the various national polls show that voters prefer the president over Mr. Kerry by an average of four points, those same surveys place Mr. Bush some 20 points ahead on the question of which candidate is expected to win."
A fourth of Kerry's supporters who predicted the outcome of the election thought he would lose, according to polls by Fox News and TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics. Only one in 18 of Bush's supporters thought the president would lose, the Times reported.
Vicki Morwitz, a professor at New York University, warned: "This could be a big cause of concern for Kerry. If people really think Bush is going to win, they may have a slight tendency to shift their preference and ultimately vote for Bush, even though they were a Kerry supporter to begin with."
Even Mark Halperin, the anti-Bush political director of ABC "News," agreed. "If more people (regardless of whom they support) don't start telling pollsters that they believe Kerry will win, he probably can't," he wrote.
Kerry's squad of election thieves
That just sums them up so nicely!!
Given Kerry's all-over-the-map approach, the question is "In what direction?"
What the hell do they mean SWAT teams of lawyers? Are they going to come down on the poll sites with firearms? I swear to God, I am getting quite tired of this.
Why doesn't Kerry just dispense with the election altogether? He should declare himself the President tomorrow, so he can get back to the work of the American People...
They try that crap and it's gonna be a civil war.
We just need to do all we can to make sure that this election is such a landslide for President Bush that there is no question as to who the President is. There is still the silent majority and they have yet to be heard from and they won't be until election day.
Kerry must not be allowed to steal the election.
Right.
We need a landslide Folks. It's the only way to crush the Democrat attempt to collapse out government.
Monitor the fraud in your precincts and get out the vote.
"...If people really think Bush is going to win, they may have a slight tendency to shift their preference and ultimately vote for Bush, even though they were a Kerry supporter to begin with."
Bingo! Too many people on FR have been saying that we mustn't think that Bush will win for fear of complacency. People are attracted to winners, not losers. We gain more votes by thinking he will win that we lose through complacency.
Remember the bloodiest US war.I think we are getting close to being as devided as we were back then. The people will not tolerate Kerry trying to overthrow the will of the people in this election...
We need Swat teams to meet their Swat teams put them back on the plane and send them home with their tails between their legs. A busted lawyers head every now and then wouldnt be so bad either.

And 45% of the country want's this crook to represent us??????
Can you say coup?
Yes, Stephanie; a 'frest start'; but first the 'revolution'. . .
They put this in the paper?! Sounds like a plan they made at DU.
This morning on Rush: they will have airplanes of lawyers standing by at the airports and all will be within one hour of a swing state and as soon as the polls close in each state they plan to sweep in (unless it's a blow out) and protest the vote and claim fraud, disenfranchisement, etc...
