Default Landslide or not?

Whether or not Obama's strong victory constitutes a landslide I'll leave
to others.

What is indisputable, IMO, is that the Democrats' political fortunes
over the Republicans from the 2006 elections until now constitute a
political landslide of Biblical proportions.

From the Republicans controlling the presidency and both houses of
Congress, and speculating (and gloating) about a permanent majority,
they've come to this sorry pass -- a regional party with deep divisions
and no compelling message but the same old same-old.

Now it's up to the Democrats to show that they can get the bus out of
the ditch and govern effectively.

What was that I've been hearing about ACORN and the dubiosity of their
massive registration near Orlando?

I dunno. How many of the dubious registrants voted?

And if the past is any indication at all, what they will actually do is
sue the bus manufacturer for making unsafe products while raising its
taxes 50%, ramming unionization down its throat, and requiring it to
switch to only making buses that run on avocado pits and
pass-their-prime bean sprouts, thereby putting it out of business.
They'll then loot a truck manufacturer to pay the former employees not
only their former wages, but give them a big raise as a "stimulus" and
make it illegal for mortgage companies to foreclose on their houses and
cars when they fail to make payments...and they'll pay them via prepaid
Visa cards...of which they'll **** up the distribution...

HTH,

Maybe the better question is how many times they voted.

Snip

Biblical. Absolutely. I think The Lord has delivered the Bushies into
our hands for correction and chastisement. I suspect one of the first
acts of Al Hussein O'bama will be a registration requirement for all
committed conservative Rs at fire stations across the land. I do not
look upon this as punishment, but rather the first step toward their
"re-education," possibly in the fresh air of the newly established
camps a-building in the Nevada desert. This will be "for their own
good," and also to free up housing for the influx of Wahabi Saudi
"instructors" needed to give the proper flavor to Plan
23334.axf, .oo8, of the Commissariat for the Reform of Education.

Dave
O'bama is a secret Irishman right?

Missed the questions again!

How many voted more than once?
How many bogus registrations were voted by "legitimate" registrants in
addition to their own vote?
How many voted as the the bogus registrant absentee and then voted again
as their bogus and/or real identity on election day?
