(Independent) Obvious "As a US election season nears its climax, some things never change in the quintessential swing state of Ohio. This time, however, there is one rather large difference. The Democrats look as though they might actually win"   (independent.co.uk) divider line 64

Man I hate the stupid people in Ohio.

Except for you folks in Chicago. You're cool.

So who thinks McCain's "O"hio face is hotter than Obama's?

 
ArbitraryConstant 2008-10-18 07:50:52 PM  
My favorite part is that from the electoral projections, Obama may not even need Ohio or Florida.

ohio is in the tank for obama. they even let him use their state flag to announce himself as potentate.

i know! the state used to just be called "Hio." then they added the "O" for obama. totally in the tank!

Never underestimate the ability of Democrats to completely blow their opportunity. I remember cheering Kerry's wonderful exit poll results. Remember, young people are notoriously unreliable on Election Day, while 90-year-old halfwits aren't.

Young people are distracted by shiny things. Old people will even drive past, or possibly through, farmers markets to cast their vote.

Here in northeast Ohio, I see many, many yard signs for Obama.

I see more signs For Sale, than I do for McCain.

This has to be my favorite right-wing dumb-ass moment of the race. This douchebag thanks his caller for being someone who is "paying attention" but he is so unfamiliar with the state flags, and unwilling to spend a nano-second on research that he goes on the air to denounce Obama for flying his own personal flag.

And these people have not the slightest micron of doubt that they are THE most patriotickest, bestest of all Americans.

And the self-pwnage of these douchebags is like water off a duck's back...they just move on to the next psychotic delusion pretending - or unaware - that they have publicly humiliated themselves.

Go to western or southern Ohio where voting Democrat is considered voting for the debil. Fortunately, Ohio might still swing for Obama since northeast Ohio is heavily Democrat and has enough votes to swing the whole state.

Ohio has been in the Dem's pocket since they passed that "Vote Early, Vote Often" legislation a few months back. You barely have to do a Google Search on Acorn to find news about the tens of thousands of illegal votes these guys are making.

ArbitraryConstant: My favorite part is that from the electoral projections, Obama may not even need Ohio or Florida.

He doesn't.

All of the Kerry states look safe. New Mexico looks safe. Iowa looks safe. Colorado looks safe.

And by safe I mean "Obama consistently polling over 50%, so even a 100% break to McCain by undecideds can't swing the election."

McCain can only win by convincing some people who are going to vote for Obama that they should vote for McCain instead. A new stump speech won't do that, "Joe the Plumber" won't do that, Billy Ayers and Jeremiah Wright won't do that.

It's over. It's just a question of whether or not Obama will win a mandate. (A real one, not Bush's idea of one)

B-b-but Pat Buchanan says this election CAN'T be a mandate because people are just mad at the republicans!

I'm not sure why that makes it not count, but Pat knows his stuff and I'm sure he'd never twist his opinion to support the right wing. . .

Somehow I doubt that even a 150+ EC victory and millions more popular votes will convince people that Obama has a mandate.

Here in Colorado I used to notice the occasional McCain sign on the way to work, or on the way home. Now I only see Obama signs and signs for the other races, including some republican local races.

Fool_Marquis: You barely have to do a Google Search on Acorn to find news about the tens of thousands of illegal votes these guys are making.

Strangely enough, this was the first result on a Google News search for illegal votes:
There have been several documented and widely publicized instances in which registration forms have been fraudulently completed and submitted. But it is extraordinarily difficult to find reported cases in which individuals have submitted registration forms in someone else's name in order to impersonate them at the polls. Furthermore, most reports of registration fraud do not actually claim that the fraud happens so that ineligible people can vote at the polls. Indeed, we are aware of no recent substantiated case in which registration fraud has resulted in fraudulent votes being cast.


ACORN! BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA!
