from this thread in response to this post in that thread:

I give the Wise Alchy Sage credit for not getting caught up in that thread. We are in an amazing place right now. If we look back at the much more significant threat of WWII, FDR was all about keeping the machine of democracy running, no matter what. Having the administration even float this idea is a nice victory for Osama. It's enough to make a libbytarian vote Democratic. Ridge's comments were a message to any crackpot that all they have to do is disrupt a few well chosen polling places and the election is closed. Any crackpot, even a few homegrown right wing nuts who want to stay the course or some ELF types who think it needs to get worse so it can get better could read that message the wrong way.
