The best possible outcome of this election

Obviously, if you've ever read any of my opinions on politics, you know that what I consider to be the "best" outcome is not a "possible" outcome.

So what's the best possible outcome?

Step one: Turn the two houses of Congress against each other. It looks pretty likely that the GOP will maintain control of the Senate, so a huge victory for the Democrats in the House would be good. If the two houses are turned against each other, less damage will be done.

Step two: Elect the President illegitimately. This seems pretty likely. My guess is, and if this turns out to be the case it will be sufficient, that the winner of the election will change at some point. My guess is that Bush will win the election prior to the counting of provisional ballots (which are required by the, what is it called, Help America Vote Act?), but once those ballots are counted, Kerry will win. Odds are a lawsuit will be involved, and we'll have a huge mess again.

Step three: Make sure the people don't accept whoever wins the election. Polls show that most people won't accept the results if their candidate loses, so this is pretty certain.

I think a Bush victory would be more divisive and therefore better. Many conservatives and just about every liberal disagree with Bush, which works towards the ultimate goal of the government not doing anything to harm us more.

Of course, I'm kind of rooting for a Kerry win, simply because I will then be able to prove to people, four years from now, that Kerry is one fucking awful douchebag.

I'm still voting for Badnarik, in case you wanted to know.
