Even if McCain wins all the states that are leaning his way and ALL the swing states (CO, FL, OH, MO, NEVADA, NC) and Obama just wins the states that are leaning his way, Obama still wins. Things aren't looking good for McCain.

Errr. Im not going to disagree with you. I would just like to point out that the people who vote republican hedgies, CDS traders, CEOs, etc have a vested interest as well...probably much larger than any other demographic constituency. Considering that the CDS market alone if worth tens of...
How can there be "glitches"?
How can there be delays and problems.
I could sit there with a pad of paper and a pen and put hash marks as the people told me their vote, yet the computers can record them properly? What the hell. What can be so damn hard about it?

However I...
I've never put anyone on ignore. But I have checked and you have not made a single valid point in the entire political section. If you had I wouldnt mind putting up with you just so I get exposed to the good point you have once in a while. But you never do. Literally. In all the threads you've...
