Dewey Defeats Truman!

Not likely. Obama won when Wall Street collapsed. But should the unfathomable occur, I think this British journalist is on to something in this, he says:

Now British polls are properly and carefully weighted, taking account of what is known as the spiral of silence – the tendency of voters for the less fashionable party to keep their intentions to themselves. British pollsters weight their results to allow for these shy voters. US pollsters do not.

I would go on to say when you create an environment this hostile to the opposition, not just opposition party, but anyone opposed to Obama, many will simply keep their feelings to themselves. Then there is the race factor tauted as the Bradley effect, assuming racists will not reveal their racism to pollsters, but what about the non-racists who are opposed for other reasons who know they will be labeled racist anyway? I suspect these are the voters that skewed the polls in the unlikely event the polls could be so wrong that Obama loses - those who are not racist and didn't want the racist label and the uncool - meaning those not supporting Obama, is there anything less cool in today's pop culture? Could there be more uncool people out there than we realize expressing views suppressed for months once in the privacy of their voting booth? Anything's possible, I don't see it happening.

I do still have in the back of my mind when the DNC, the media, the left and the right were all campaigning vehemently against Clinton in the primary and he was outspending her 4 and 5 to 1, he still couldn't beat her.

Of course, there are the Secretaries of State in his favor, but I will feel no differently about Democrats fudging results than I did about the Republicans doing it, I suppose this sentiment alone could explain a lot of why I am currently so estranged from my party. Truth and fairness first, votes count, if I'm unhappy with the outcome so be it, but until the people's voices are heard, I have nothing to be upset about except the fraudulent process.
