108 days until the morning of November 4, 2008.

I have been lulled into complacency. So much good news going on. The Maliki endorsement of Obama, his trip overseas, recent polling news, his June fundraising numbers. It's gonna be a landslide. It's a steam train, and it's rolling. How could this POSSIBLY go wrong?

An outsider, an intruder, a giver of charity and nothing more.

I am new here, so go easy on me. Or don't. :) First diary.

I have been mulling this over for quite a while now. There have been so many discussions about the disenfranchisement of voters over the years (including this one). From voter irregularities, over counted ballots, under counted ballots, caucuses, the removal of MI and FL delegates because of the rules, and on and on.

My contention is that the biggest culprit of voter disenfranchisement is voter disillusionment.
