You just fill out a sheet someone gives you. No real need to pretend you aren't racist.Suikoguy said:
Now, there are reasons to assume a certain demographic is more willing to seek out exit polls and take them, but that's mostly accounted for I believe.

It's amazing how the right isn't making a big deal out of this now.
Also, as I mentioned earlier, check out the wives' body language. Michelle is holding Barack's hand. Cindy is standing away from John with her hands behind her back, almost subservient.

Supreme court in Ohio already ruled it was cool If they overturn it between now and 11/4 (or god forbid, after), there will be absolute hell to pay.
My wife and I early voted. There was very heavy traffic all week last week at the stop in Franklin County (Columbus). I work just down the street and checked in a few times. Saturday it was raucus.

Just got home from watching the debate.
This one seemed pretty even to me, although McCain acting and talking like a cocky used car salesman probably has an adverse effect on some people.
Obama had a few answers that were literally perfect in both substance and delivery that I think made up for the few moments where he seemed at a loss for words.
For the record:
I'm Canadian and I support Obama.
Biden destroyed Palin in the VP debate.
Obama clearly won the first debate.

You know, even then, I'm not saying that bias doesn't exist face-to-face or over the phone, but I don't understand why. Even IF you ARE racist, and want to claim that you are voting Obama so as not to feel racist, why wouldn't you just admit you're voting McCain and lie about the reason? How hard is it to say that you're voting McCain because he's more experienced, and not because he's white?Son of Godzilla said:

How come every election ends with pandering to Independents? I realize that they constitute a fairly large number of voters, but why can't these people decide for themselves which candidate to support? Why do they have to be told who supports certain policies? Are they incapable of performing their own research into a candidate?

The amazing thing is how often we pick up on things like that on a totally subconscious level. I think it's instinctive.

gonna needs some youtubing of the epic pwnage of hannity.
So, how many people would have voted early without this FUD? 4,000? 5,000? If it would have been 6,000 then 50% of potential same-day voters would have had to of both heard and bought into this. I find that hard to believe and I bet that if the results were 6,000 voters it would still be seen as pretty disappointing. I think that not many people wanted to take advantage of the program, were sure how it worked, or were even aware of it.Son of Godzilla said:
Also, we don't even have the complete story about how many people voted this way. It just seems way too early to say that FUD was the prime cause in some lukewarm reception.

Best ad ever. Although I'm wondering why there is a "likely".

I just got back from work and listened to the debate on the radio. I work at a gas station, so I had to hear the really fucking loud opinions of the customers which was an unfortunate distraction but also pretty interesting.
The most vocal guy was this person who told us he owned a small business a couple years back and had to ultimately close down because he wasn't turning a profit AT ALL. He said his profit margin was terrible at around 6 cents for every dollar. He also went on a load of tangents. One of them was how the school his children go to don't even have enough textbooks to go around and how shitty our state, Ohio, is right now.
He then talked about how he supports McCain and my coworker who actually told me he believes in witchcraft when I brought up the Palin and Muthee connection to him talked to this dude for like fifteen minutes about how shitty America is. I was trying to drone those two out for like a third of the debate!

Ohio registrations are up, and are up the most in Democratic strongholds. Ohio is in play. Don't write Ohio off.

I think it's hilarious how McCain wants to freeze federal spending while initiating a new energy initiative. He was being completely facetious the entire debate...when he wasn't using soundbites that contradicted each other, he would back away from issues and rely on people "trusting" him to "fix them."
What a horrible performance. And people call Obama vague.

Then my apologies, as I don't think you're a dumbass. =)
After 2004 though, I don't trust absentee balloting or early voting, and I don't even really trust voting in person on election day either, but it's the best option. It seems like I'm not alone in mistrusting an Ohio election, too.
So if it was so busy in Columbus for early voting, I wonder why supposedly only 3,000 people did it in (I'm guessing here) Franklin, Cuyahoga, Lucas and Hamilton counties?

and that is why mccain lost. he didnt let people know he was a maverick, and that he wasnt elected miss congeniality in the senate. without letting the american public know this, obviously they have no reason to gravitate towards mccain.
if, IF, if, he had mentioned his maverickness, all wouldve been better
