538's Nate Silver: How McCain Could Win


OK, in consideration of the following factors....
  • I believe mccain is mentally unsound.
  • I don't know who runs his campaign.
  • This race isn't anywhere near how close it was in 2000 and 2004, snatching a state here and there with a little bit of skulduggery WON'T WORK.
  • "Insane" things done over the last 8 years have been bold, outlandish, illegal acts so shocking that people can't believe they are intentional.
.... the only way mccain "wins" isn't a win at all.

He must leverage the bush-cheney maniacs to conduct outrageous acts of violence and illegality at polling places in key states like PA, OH, FL, etc. Then dubya claims they are "terrorist attacks®" and uses his year-old, unchallenged executive order that declares him king in the event of a catastrophe.

That is his only chance.

So the question is, just how desperate are the neocons? Will they be willing to wait 4 years to regroup and try again? Or will they fulfill their own prophecy by bringing us to the brink of our demise by trying to "save" us from a "disaster" like Obama by conducting unconscionable, un-American acts?

I believe they will wait. There have to be enough people smart enough to realize that the mess they're leaving Obama (and us) is so HUGE that 4 years can't possibly be enough time to fix it up. They may have a much easier time in 2012.
