Their political party outright owns the nation's voting machines.
And their political party commands the loyalty of a great many local and State politicians who control and operate those very voting machines.
No matter their scandals, no matter their records, no matter the polls - these are the facts of the 2012 Election.
All R&R have to do is tread water with the public while deflecting a willing and friendly press for another eight weeks or so as Crossroads and the Kocks do their dirty work and heavy lifting for them.
And, lest we forget, after all...
They own the machines!
And in their minds, and perhaps consequently in reality, THEY CAN'T LOSE.
So why the hell would they quit?
EDIT: I don't know if Repubs can pull another election theft off or not - I think they will try, and I think this time around it will turn out to be overreach- but I also sure wouldn't mind seeing a few UN monitors checking up on our elections this time around, because as we know a) Republicans are willing to cheat and b) Republicans are able to cheat.
If this does not make you at least a little nervous, allow me to refer you to the years 2000 and 2004 - plenty of data demonstrating the danger of fraud we face in November. I'll be taking photos of my completed ballot, rest assured, as they still use Diebold counting machines in my county...

(34,857 posts)We already know the outcome. Let's just hope Romney & Ryan don't do too much damage, right? I wish Obama would be the one to drop out and save us from this charade.

It would be MUCH too obvious.

They won't want to "look BAD (to the world...)" even if they'd manage to get CO and WI, and "screw" PA due to IDs.
Let's make sure they won't even "attempt" to screw it more: http://www.barackobama.com/
