Jonathan Alter posits a nightmare scenario
The good news: Alter most definitely doesn't believe this doomsday script will play -- only that it could.
Alter covered some of this in his talk earlier this week at UCSB. He talked particularly about the LIVs, low-information voters -- and noted that clearly there were none in his audience that night, since of course it wasn't likely that an LIV would come to hear him.

I've been worrying along the same lines. My rage with the damnable LIVs is threatening to make my head explode. I've been watching and waiting for Obama to poll consistently above 50% in the battleground states. My original estimate was that the undecideds would break about 70-30 for McCain. Some of the talking heads estimate a larger percentage, if not all.
Add in the Republican rat-fucking, vote-stealing, voter-suppression and generally felonious activities and we've got something worse than a nightmare, because it will be real.
I'm also worried about the latest attack themes from the filthy McCain/Palin operation. The LIVs barely know what socialism is, but they know they're not supposed to like it. Now is when we need Biden to get vicious. It's not enough to ask if that Florida anchorwoman was joking when she asked him about Obama and Marxist theory. He should have reamed her out on the spot. It's not a joke, and Obama will regret it if they don't treat the slander seriously.
