#1 Scholarly arguments and presentation and, by these merits, something completely incomprehensible by the general electorate.

Unfortunately, The Messiah's(TM) armies will insist that, should the tide break for McCain, the polls will "prove" that the election was stolen from O-Bambi. Deprived of immediate "payback" for 2000/2004, the Libs will go nuts and we'll have:

At best, a replay of hanging, dangling, hemorrhoidal chads, etc...; or

At worst, a serious and national spectacle of the Watts Riots + Days of Rage, etc...

...YIKES!

#3 Another blunder: it's a felony to vote fraudulently in Ohio, and there will be prosecutions and jail time. From the NY Post:

Four well-heeled New York Democrats are under investigation by an Ohio prosecutor for setting up a temporary home in the swing state - where two have already cast their ballots - just so that their votes will be counted there. The New Yorkers and nine other members of the political action committee (PAC) Vote From Home from across the country are accused of packing themselves into a modest three-bedroom house in Columbus, waiting 30 days - and then registering, even though the Buckeye State is not their permanent residence. Under Ohio law, a person who comes to the state for "temporary purposes only," without the intention of making it the "permanent place of abode" is not considered a resident. New permanent residents must live in Ohio 30 days before registering.

Four group members, including two of the New Yorkers, have already cast ballots, and six others requested absentee ballots from the county elections board.

Franklin County, Ohio, prosecutor Ron O'Brien launched the investigation after student reporters at palestra.net, a Fox News affiliate, discovered the mass registration effort at the home in a working-class neighborhood on Brownlee Avenue.

Vote From Home is registered to the East 82nd Street brownstone of Heather Halstead, daughter of Halstead Properties founder Clark Halstead Jr. She and her husband, NYU grad Marc Gustafson, are among those under scrutiny. "I think they mistakenly believed that by residing here 30 days, they met the residency requirement for voting - and perhaps they felt that casting a vote in a battleground state would be more effective than wherever they came from," O'Brien said. He added, the investigation will look at "surrounding facts" - including whether the new voters have applied for Ohio licenses, changed their car registrations, or signed leases.

On its Web site, the PAC - which includes many Ivy Leaguers and Rhodes, Truman and Fulbright scholars - boasts of its "extensive experience with political organizing, election administration and Democratic politics."

#5 Zombie's sure got some truly worthless commenters over there. This must really have touched a nerve on the lefties because they went into incoherent, screamingly foul-mouthed, frothing rage over it.

Good for Zombie. Man, I'd just LOVE for McCain/Palin to win just to be able to hit those leftie blogs and grind it in. I'd like to make some of their heads explode and, judging from their comments, it wouldn't take much doing to send them over the edge.
