actually, as i recall, we’ve established a precedent whereby you only need to fool NINE of the people (or rather a majority of those nine sitting on the SupCt bench) every 4 years… thank goodness gw’s got say over the new appointees… wouldn’t want them mandating a liberal president on accident…

�You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.� � George W. Bush, Gridiron Club dinner, Washington, D.C., March 24, 2001
Bush doesn’t care whether he can fool them all. He doesn’t even care if he can fool enough voters to get a 50.000001% mandate. When you count the votes, numbers are fungible and all they really need to do is convince a few easily manipulated congress-persons, prosecutors and investigators (and the press if they’re not already on-board) that the elections weren’t rigged. Those are the people they’ll concentrate on.

From Louis MacNeices’s poem Bagpipe Music:
“The glass is falling hour by hour, the glass will fall for ever,
But if you break the bloody glass you won’t hold up the weather.”
