Ah, democracy! | hey it works for the credit card companies and look where that got us |

Amazing what students will do for a crappy T-shirt or water bottle.

| Obama ain't gonna win Ohio anyway. All of these cries of "voter fraud" are pure BS propagated by ppl who are trying to de-legitimize a potential Obama victory. The democrats wrote the book on this tactic with their ridiculous claims of vote-counting fraud in 2000 and 2004. They looked like a bunch of whiners then. Do we really want to look like a bunch of lefty conspiracy nuts? Just count the votes and stop whining. We'll be fine. | |

2. of course not, but that doesn't matter. if they do it everywhere, they'll come out on top, b/c the majority of those who have the least access and awareness of voting are most likely to vote dem. get out the vote! | Unfortunately, I think that is a true statement. | |

| I'd much rather see an improved system for military voters, particularly those who are deployed overseas. Take actual polling machines to where they're at instead of using absentee ballots. There was a systematic attempt to disenfranchise military votes in 2000 and I've no doubt it'll be tried again this year.

My friends in the military say there is a surprising number who support Obama... and this recent article tends to lend credibility to that. http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008...d-give-61.html

| I'd still rather see the military get better access than offering college doofuses a pizza and a sixpack of black label if they come down and vote.
