1. That the media did a bang-up job selling this election to us as "the most important election of our lifetimes".

2. I find it amusing that no one seems to know or care that along with the national campaign ads, we in the so-called 12 battleground states have been inundated with over 2 times the number of campaign ads as 2000--also a "statistical tie"--while the other 38 states have been virtually ignored.

3. That there are a lot of horrid, morally flaccid white men running around getting VERY RICH off the election industry.

4. That the US citizens' votes are getting much more expensive for the US oligarchy to buy--why a single vote already costs $80 in South Dakota!

5. That regardless of whether it is Kerry or Bush, we're still screwed, but not as much as the Muslim world in general and the Iraqi people in particular.

6. As soon as the election is over, Fallujah, the city of mosques with a population of nearly half a million people, will be leveled within two weeks, and it's citizens be killed, maimed, or made refugees.

7. Regardless of who it is, we'll see the draft reinstated by June of next year.

8. Regardless of who it is, if the draft isn't reinstated, it will be because we decided to cut and run, abandoning most of Iraq to chaos, but hang onto the oil fields, withdraw the troops to Kuwait, the US invasion staging ground in the Middle East, and prepare for the invasions of Iran and Syria "to smoke the terrorists out of the their holes" a la Bin Laden and Al Qaida in Afghanistan.

9. That we will not only still be stuck with the electoral college system, but we will also be stuck with the same old oligarchy we've lived under for the past 50 years.

10. That Nader will be proved right about everything, and he won't seem near as crazy as he looked to liberals and sell out progressives before the election. Especially when they'll need his name recognition and backbone to fight the bad guys the liberals and sell out progressives just worked so hard to back in the White House regardless of which group of rich white guys wins the horserace.
