[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I am thinking the alarm bells in the media saying Republicans are ahead are more about turning out the vote for Democrats than they are about reporting real news. They want Democrats to feel desperate and Republicans to feel complacent. It does not matter what kind of polling irritating phone solicitors come up with. It only matters who wins on election day. That requires showing up.

We live in rural Alaska, no cell phones, ect. In last 3 weeks have received over 100 calls (dem polls trying to get ya to vote for Begich) for all four family members; several a night actually. My son even had a call to go to a party at bar for the pot initiative; I asked the girl if she'd email her pict and I said I'd look for her, ha. We have only had 2 calls from the repub party, where I was talking to an actual person.

The dems are really going after the rural, mostly Indian votes. They are making sure the Indians vote enmass for the dems this time; usually Indians don't vote at all. We have 100,000 Indians in Alaska; I sure hope they all don't vote.

Exactly. Suddenly there are headlines everywhere about nasty Republicans gaining in the polls blah blah even on Drudge (Ernst up by 7 points Aaaaagh the horror!!) - all to panic demoncRATS into getting off their arses to vote. It’s all slickery like media manipulation and head games. Nothing is real anymore. Can’t trust a damn thing going on out there. And if all else fails the ballot stuffing and dead people voting and illegals voting multiple times will seal the deal. And if that fails lawsuits and recounts will jack things up for months. Ain’t much USA left. The lunatics are running the asylum.
