Will do. We’ll get right on electing McCain.
Thank you, Captain Republious!
Guess we can’t even do a simple thing like electing McCain without effing it up. Oh well, grats President Elect Obama.
Now to put aside all the talk from the campaign, all the mean things everyone had to say from both sides, and sit down to see what see if he actually does what we said he would do or if he does things right.
Hey, it can’t rain all the time.
*snort* Crow reference win, now I need to find that damn movie…
Well… I’d be (almost) satisfied for McCain to win (Florida).. so long as it’s a legitimate win. Unlike that last time.
*cough* Last two times *cough*
THANK YEW……
Sorry, my bads. Unlike those last TWO times.
Thank you. A fair win for someone is a win, anything else is a lose.
I live in Jacksonville, FL. I went to vote today. It went well. I iz excited! My roomie and I have jello shots for every state Obama wins, and beer for every state mccain wins, this will be an awesome night (until the puking starts, lol)
I hope Obama can get fl, or at least jacksonville!
From what my friend in St. Augustine says, Obama winning in J-ville would be almost miraculous. But I believe in miracles…sometimes!
I have to work tomorrow, so my ‘jello shots’ will have to be virtual–or maybe leftover Halloween candy?
Gore tried to steal the election, but he failed.
McCain tried to win an election, but epic failed.
don’t feed the trolls!
The election was stolen by the Supreme Court. I’m pretty sure that that’s not what the founding fathers meant by “one man, one vote” but it’s what we ended up with, to our sorrow.
Or one Justice, one vote, anyway.
Sadly, you’re right.
Wow, I think you’ve been hanging onto those straws for so long they’re starting to form lichen!
DERP!
Elect McCain = EPIC FAIL!
Florida says, ” Okay!”
HURRAY! OBAMA!!1!
Hah. Ever since 2000….
Every time I see a Florida joke, I don’t know if we should laugh at ourselves, or hang out heads in abject humiliation. Being a floridian sucks. BUT…. It’s the old people who always run the voting polls, so I am none too surprised.
Lol I know what you mean. Florida seems to be America’s punching bag and it always seems they’re gladly pretty good sports about it.
I blame Disney, lol.
I know… next time, I should prolly get a huge group of younger folks together and volunteer to be a poll worker. Mebe that would make a difference? Every time I walk into a polling office here in Fl., it smells like mothballs and is veeeeeeerrrrrrrrrry sloooooooooowwwww…..
I filled my ballot out correctly, and according to the machine it’s going to be counted. How many times it gets counted is up to the supervisor of elections. (Our SoE is great… she leaves names off the ballots and then magically counts over 24k votes in an area where only 14k votes were cast… yeah, I voted against her too.)
aww thats nothing, we had 36,000 votes in a precinct in Ohio with 5,136 registered voters. Electronic voting fail.
That is where the true evil lies. Electronic voting machines that always fail.
Banish the machines and let’s have a show of hands!
THIS!
Let’s vote on it!
Wait… does that mean it’ll come back to haunt us?
Don’t forget the areas that recorded a negative number of votes in the thousands. America is such a great country we respect the voting rights of anti-matter-Americans.
That’s really scary if it’s all true. How can there possibly such huge election fraud. I mean it kinda makes you think why do Americans bother voting when it’s not the most popular person who’s nessasarily going to win it’s whoever the election officials want to win.
I heard people are handing out election cards that say vote democrat on a wednesday. They should go to jail for that.
props for “anti-matter-Americans”
Would that be Prop -8?
NY is using its mechanical lever machines for the last time this year. I am hopeful about the new machines. They take a paper ballot you fill out with pen/marker, thenscan the sheet. It tabulates based on a complete image scan, you can tell the machine if it’s correct before it “casts” the vote. Then the ballot drops into the sealed ballot box from the scanner as a physical paper ballot record in case there’s a problem with the electronics. Also, the machine has a part that allows disabled to produce a ballot that is marked via a computer interface. Prole can even plug in their sip/puff straw machines if they are totally immobilized, and vote independently. They still get a physcal ballot that gets scanned and collected. I hope this system works well. NY held on to the mechanical machines as long as they could, but they were overdue in FULL compliance with the Americans with disabilities act.
No can do, but I’ll try not to involve the supreme court this time
. Mkay?
You crazy kids, get off the lawn!
le sigh. ballots are always being lost, stolen, put in college kids’ who are being bribed with cheap sex and free pizza trunks (did i pluralize that right?)…it’s mostly the local politicans wanting to get their way. they ruin everything.
Wait, where are they handing these things out?
what’s a free pizza trunk?
It’s the secret place where we have cheap sex with the pizzas.
I’d vote Obama for that.
“I don’t remember ordering white sauce…”
EWWWW!
Its “Flori-D-U-H!” I should know, I live here, for some un-GAWD-ly reason…..
yeah, I’m still trying to figure out the reason I live here as well..
oh wait, perhaps the reason is to screw around during important events *cough*2000*cough*..
Boooo….I left after being born and raised there but now I’m in NY! I wish I could vote in Florida!
Voting snafus: one of the many reasons I moved out of Florida and to Minnesota. Took too long to move, though. I voted in 2 FL elections (but not 2000; I was too young at the time [thank goodness...?].)
Florida’s vote comes down to whether they believed his little pro-space program speech when he was campaigning down there… or everything ELSE he said and did before and after that.
If Florida’s ballots were rigged, wouldn’t there be other states that had the same problem?
Or were the dems just screaming “foul” because it was the last and decisive state
My state (Oklahoma, FYI) has a paper ballot – you complete the arrow of the person you want to vote for, then you put it in the machine and it’s counted. Once. We’ve never had problems.
You do know that the states run elections themselves with no help from any central authority, right? What goes wrong in one state has no bearing on other states, because they are not operating under the same rules.
–
That being said, there were plenty of irregularities in many states, especially those with electronic voting. Remember the president of Diebold promising Ohio to Bush?
OO – now on the news we see Black Panthers at voting sites refusing to let whites vote. Aren’t we Dems classy !?
Cite, Ms Todd?

You probably won’t accept the last one as it’s from Fox News, but that’s the stuff I could find quickly.
And to be fair, they’re not actively refusing to let white voters in. It’s more of an intimidation by being there thing that won’t really work if you ARE GOING to vote and nothing will stop you.

I don’t see any Aryans in front of Dem voting sites, though. So that’s a thought.
To be fair, it was *one* guy in front of one site. Not excusing him, but one jerk doesn’t = a trend.
I sent a citation, but it got eaten because there is http code contained therein
Give it a minute.
Lying troll is lying. Yawn.
Remember that Jeb Bush was the governor in 2000. Something smells foul there.
Click my name for Obama v McCain dance-off.
If Obama wins, he’ll pay for my mortgage and gas !!!!!!!!
Doesn’t it seem a bit unfair that the majority of the population of the Free World is not allowed to vote for the self-proclaimed Leader Of The Free World?
So either cut the crap and don’t use that title – ever – or let us vote too.
Tell you what- If Obama wins, you can have him ! We’ll keep Slow Joe- he won’t cause too much damage
Nah, just give us the one that can see Russia from her house. Hey, I can see Holland from my house!
O rly? Would you keep her? I don’t care what you do with her as long as you just keep her…
I want to live where I can see things…
It’s called sarcasm.
I haz it.
I think his brother had a hand in that.
His brother is also a Bush
I thought his brother was a Douche?
Little from column A, little from column B.
Totally tasteless, but to be expectorated.
I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend your pun win.
It’s horrible that I feel really nervous about my vote being rigged here
At least McCain’s brother isn’t the governor, right?
Sigh – yeah I’m a Floridian… yeah we can’t vote… yeah, there’s a list of things we don’t do well… but hey, we’ve got tons of beaches and the “Happiest Place on Earth.” Sigh, not really making up for the lack of general intelligence I’ve found here. I mean, really, our school systems rank what, 48th out of 50? I’ve got 2 years before my son starts school – thank God.
Yeah, I dropped out of the Florida public school system at 16, got a job, and (no joke) paid my way through private school because I felt that I wasnt getting a good education…
That’s because Florida isn’t where life is worth living like Webster (click my name for the town web page). You may be the happiest place on earth, but life apparently isn’t worth living there.
My thoughts EXACTLY. It was a sad day in Florida when I was told today out at the polls “Now, remember, you can only pick one! We’ve had a lot of people try to pick two…” – in regards to the presidential candidates.
Well looks like Florida is going to Obama, so I guess they did screw it up.
Sorry public schools can not teach creationism. That is promoting a particular religion, but we have freedom of religion. If that’s a valid doctrine, than so is Flying Spaghetti Monster. America was not founded as a Christian nation. Look up Deism, particularly under Jefferson.
Big corporations getting tax breaks often send out jobs out of the country.
You do have to dig into McCain’s background, as he also has several (closer) associations that are quite nefarious. I don’t believe in guilt by association, but you have to apply the same standard to ALL candidates.
Dems aren’t saying we should have one class. They are reminding everyone that the middle class is the foundation of the economy and that if the middle class fails, than the nation does.
Obama isn’t that liberal. Read lots of other posts about this. His voting record isn’t the most liberal. What he HAS been is opposed to Bush. Voting against the screwed up policies of Bush, doesn’t necessarily make you ultra liberal.
Reagan wasn’t nearly as great as you think. He had the biggest deficit in history prior to Bush. Deregulation that began under Reagan has contributed to our current crisis.
There are a couple points I’m not in complete disagreement with you on, and I could add to these that I oppose. I respect your opinion, but I don;t think you are completely informed in these conclusions.
I’d like to spoil the election for everyone: Assassins take out all major candidates, flinging Bob Barr into the #1 spot. The economy rebounds, and everyone’s happy.
It’s over!!! BARACK OBAMA is the President-Elect of the United States!
Think we got it right this time, bb.
damn bruh.. aint you heard!? We’s a BLUE STATE NOW!!!1!!
FL didn’t screw up the national election, but the whole amendment 2 thing is still a shining beacon of Floridian ignorance.
Favor granted, Mr. President!
“I like the concept that Ethanol takes away from the world’s food supply”
I think we have a new retard…
And stick your comments about “socialist Yoorpe” up your fat, loud, ignorant arse…
Ethanol does take away from the world’s food supply because it is derived from corn.
God, did I insult anyone? Did I call anyone on here a jackass?
Fester, I’m 13.
You retard, that corn isn’t edible by anyone because it’s been genetically modified so much no living animal could digest it.
Favor GRANTED!
OH FINE, but I’m still gonna ban gay marriage!
And we didn’t!!
OMGWTFBBQ!! I live in a blue state now!! *happy dances*
Awesome.
Thank You, Florida.
wat does this mean????????????????????and y use florida y not a different state thats not florida (cause my grandma lives down ther) an dont use minnesota cause i live in minnesota
sincerly name that is on the comment
Obviously the right person won.
McCain is another Bush.
Him in the white house is just begging for America to be even further in the hole than it is.
Which I must say, is pretty damn far.
Obama is AMAZING!
CONGRATS OBAMAAAA!!!
And FL, finally got some damn sense!
“I DEMAND A RECOUNT!”
Gore should have won in 2000 <_<
I’m keen on people today who write blogs, it’s really hard to have this particular insight almost any way. Wonderful job.
