I saw a post here last night from someone who has a family member "on the inside" of the Massachusetts Democrat machine.
According to that poster, the word has gone out that this election is a "freebie", i.e., "vote however you want, without repercussions from the higher-ups."
That's interesting, in an election where the dems are acting so freaked out, you'd think the'd be goosestepping the voters to the polls through their standard fear and intimidation techniques. It's hard to believe that poster has it right.
