Precinct-by-precinct vote totals in Republican primaries show...

7. Hey, welcome to D.U.

I don't know if anyone -- on either side -- can feel that great about what's going on.

After having lived through the bombardment of TeeVee commercials (Guernica) during the recall
election, here in Wisconsin earlier this year, I think that's part of the marketing program.
The same way that the Spanish Civil War was a warm-up, or a pre-season or exhibition game
forecasting WWII, the recall last June was a trial run for this presidential election.

I think the TeeVee commercials and the outrageous stuff we're going to see in "major media" --
or that will be ignored by the "major media" (where the heck is coverage of the Sensata story?) --
is just going to get more intense, day by day, until that First Tuesday.

I'm honestly afraid that the outcome will be the same. That they'll keep telling us "it's neck and neck"
all the way through the afternoon of election day. Then somewhere around 3 or 4 pm they'll do
what they did here and declare the election already over, with the polls still open. Then the
vote (excuse me, I mean the tabulation) results will come out not too long after the polls close,
and it won't show an even race at all. (Despite earlier evidence from exit polls, that had been
showing just that.)

......I'm halfway through Greg Palast's book, "Billionaire's & Ballot Bandits" and he referred to
the Wisconsin Recall as a warm up, a trial run for this November.

One positive thing he emphasizes in that book -- that makes election theft more difficult -- is to
make sure you go out and vote early, in person, at your local municipality. (City hall, or town
or village hall.)
