Note the ironies as they build here. It's the liberals, not conservatives, who are so fond of poll monitors. This is especially true if the monitors are not US citizens. Also computer fiddling. George Bush can't even be coached to use the correct term for the internet and yet Rove has some mastermind back there ready to hack the system? Highly unlikely. A simulated assassination? I guess maybe that's what the Guardian was actually calling for last week when they asked of the likes of Booth and Oswald, "Where are you when we need you?" Martial law? That's so pathetic as to not even warrant a response. The draft is coming, the draft is coming! And they call the President a fear monger?
And Karl Rove still has a week in which to launch his V2 rockets at the Democrats. Whether he is desperate enough to go maximum will depend on his reading of the GOP internal polls. If he still believes he can pull off an Electoral College victory by energizing his fundamentalist/rightwing base and suppressing the Dem vote - through slime and sleaze and intimidation and computer-fiddling and reducing the number of new registered Democrats by thievery and threatening poll "monitors" - he'll hold back his major weapons.
But if what he's hearing in the various toss-up states continues to sound bad - Kerry doing well in enough of them to deny Bush victory - he may go for those extreme measures. Whether that will be an American/Israeli attack on Iran's nuke sites, or rounding up some Arabs and charging them with a new terrorist assault on U.S. soil ("Who's your daddy? We're protecting you, vote for us"), or a simulated assassination try, or declaring martial law and "postponing" the election - whatever, he'd consider doing it.
Well, there you have it folks. More entertainment from the idiots at DU. Just remember, it would be funny it wasn't so scary.
