Subject: RE: BS: How about no triumphalist gloating?
I think there's a much greater danger of bitching and moaning by backers of the loser than there is of gloating by backers of the winner.

In fact, there's likely to be *no* really clear winner. So be prepared for plenty of controversy over vote fraud, vote theft, etc., in the wake of a close and indecisive outcome.

The best we an hope for is a close popular vote but an electoral-vote outcome that is decisive beyond debate. Hopefully, the electoral winner will be the one with the thin popular-vote plurality (unlike last time).

I'm hoping for an unexpectedly large turnout of the disaffected anti-estabishment types who usually don't participate at all. Not holding my breath, though.

This time tomorrow, it'll all be over -- or not!
