Landslides and Coattails
Barack Obama seems very likely to be elected president tomorrow, barring some unforeseen calamity such as the Rapture. My mother still doesn’t believe it, and she won’t until she sees it with her own eyes. As an aside, the economic turmoil has finally affected my family, as it has many of yours and no doubt will affect countless others, in that my mom was laid off her job on Saturday. Her fears of finding a job as a 56 year old woman are real. Tomorrow may indeed bring some much needed hope to her and millions of others who have suffered during the last eight years. But, despite all the polls showing Obama ahead, she has never quite believed that we will win. “The Republicans will stop at nothing to steal this election, they have before.” No amount of me telling her that their efforts to steal this election this year have largely failed will dissuade her from that notion. It does not matter that the U.S. Supreme Court have shut down the GOP’s voter suppression tactics in Ohio. It does not matter the Democrats control the Secretary of State offices in Ohio, Colorado, Nevada and other states. She has always said we need to win this election by a landslide so that they can’t steal it.
