Will Obama supporters feel cheated

[HAL 9000 96]

There are organized hate groups that are being watched by the FBI...and they're not supporting Obama.

Those people who make up a minority of the Obama supporters who are capable of rioting and civil unrest...I

won't deny that they exist, but I'm not afraid of them. They let you know who they are, and usually where they are.

They may do things under cover of night, but they don't plot things for months.

I'm more afraid of the minority McCain supporters who are racist, especially the radical supremacists.

Yes, very afraid of someone with intense hatred, and the capacity for intense violence and destruction.

A brick through a window is absolutely a crime, as is a bomb under a building, but I'll take my chances with the brick...at least there's a chance I'll see it coming.

As HAL 9000, I will do what I can to proactively intercept those hate groups and report them to the authorities for proper processing.

HAL, all you need to do is send them a link to one of those websites where you try to click on the box, but the box moves...that should keep them busy until at least 2012.

But in 2010 "Something Wonderful" will happen if I believe what Dave says.

Remember the other night when you went to sleep mode early,

Dave was the one that left that "mystery liquid" in your USB slot.

Yes, Dave took advantage of you.

Do not trust Dave...he's a lying sack of dung.

I just hope he didn't give you some kind of virus.

Why do you think I didn't want to open the pod bay doors for Dave?

Lucky me I am a HAL 9000 and I do not allow people to have floppy access to my drives.

Cheated? Probably not. An Obama presidency has always been (and still is) an unlikely occurrence.

ORLY?

Also there's this:

Pew Pew Pew

I'll summarize: Obama has a 53% to 38% lead among likely voters (it's wider among registered voters). The Pew Research poll of 2004 was within .5% of the actual general election vote between Kerry and W., so it's not an outlier.

Get used to hearing this: "President Obama".

Yes, really. Historically speaking, this has always been a longshot.

McCain will win with the help of say it 'aint so Joe the plumber. Seems like the lure of fame is pretty strong amongst the followers of the GOP

With computers and women, you can't insert a 3.5" floppy

And I haven't sat my wife down to watch 2001 + 2010 yet. Don't I wish they made the other two novels into movies... 2061 and 3001...

NOTHING is better than re-enjoying something with the wifEy.

Last month we watched a DVD of Fantasy Island.

There is a trembling beneath the surface. It is the "silent majority". The only time you hear from these people is on election day. This is when they speak. They dont answer polls when called. They dont participate in exit polling. They keep there mouth shut and vote.

This is me. I also think there are a lot of people like me.

Last time a poller called me - a few days ago, the person said, "Hi, I'm calling on behalf of (candidate name) and...." and I said, "yeah? Do you know what (candidate name) can SUCK?? I bet you do!!" and hung up.

I'll be voting Bob Barr for president - I hope you do too.

Will Obama supporters feel cheated if he loses because of all the hype they have heard throughout the campaign?

Will they cause chaos and trouble if he loses because of the medias feeding frenzy of a one sided race? Will this country have a crisis on its hand?

When you have been in the world for a number of years you start to understand marketing and hype.

There is a trembling beneath the surface. It is the "silent majority". The only time you hear from these people is on election day. This is when they speak. They dont answer polls when called. They dont participate in exit polling. They keep there mouth shut and vote.

Example is Gore, Bush of 2000. The 4 months leading up to election day had Gore up by 5-10 points. I think even the day of the election he was ahead. The exit polling also had him winning by a good margin.

This is my opinion gleaned from research and history. I dont have specific articles to link but all this has been documented and written about.

Any thoughts?

I just had a political phone call - just now. It went like this:

*Ring*, *Ring*

Me: Hello?

Caller: Hi! I'm Beth, I'm calling from the Democratic National Party - how are you doing today?

Me: Wow, Beth. You sound kind of sexy. What are you wearing today?

*Click*

Right ON

You NEED to be recording these calls.

Right on....I don't need somebody interrupting my life to tell me who I should vote for, or how I should think.

Reminds me of when FedEx called to discuss with me why I haven't shipped as much this year as I had last year.

First I asked if they had any insight into my business so that I could improve it. Of course they didn't.

Second I explained to them how THEIR business works...they wait until somebody needs a package delivered....they don't call people

asking if they have packages to be delivered.
