      Diebold is based in Ohio. So you may be correct. Do you have inside information?

      Not sure I understand the following.

      > McCain leads in Florida, 47%-43%.
      > By a margin of 44%-39%, Florida voters want a Democratic president.

      So which is it?

      Believe it, normally silent,
      Quinnipiac, the most recent poll, has Obama up by +1%
      Real Clear Politics' average for all Ohio polls from 8/12 to 8/24 is +1.2% McCain - close enough to place Ohio firmly in the toss-up category.

        Don't feel so bad, Ohio is only 20 electoral votes.
        Senator Obama is up by similar amounts in New Mexico (+1%), Colorado (+1.2%) and New Hampshire (+0.3%) those three states have a total of 18 electoral votes.

          I don't feel bad, I don't think Obama is going to come close in Ohio.

          I can't wait to laugh at the Republican convention. There will be so many corrupt, lying bstards paraded on stage it will make Americans sick.

          The people should carry signs "Where's Bin Laden?"

          Quinnipiac wasn't very accurate during the primaries. I find this one best:

          A taxpayer vote for Obama is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders!!!
          Obama leads in the polls while HE Agrees with Mccain 90% of the time. Obama said no. I'm not for the Bail out? What does Obama do? Obama looks at John Mccain; and Votes Yes. Same as Mccain. The voters are ******. They say no to any Free Bail out!! we will have to pay for this crap. Plus all the other free money going to unfit organizations. Now Mccain is by far the best Candidate to lead this country. Obama will have to Ask Michelle? Michelle I won this election!! now how do I run it? Mccain is not here with the answers. Obama zero with a IQ of 133. someone padded his score to make him look intelligent. Obama is a product of Affirmative Action. Sorry too many chickens deep fried by the Colonel.
