Considering that we have like ALL the fucking old people in the world centralized in this state, is it any wonder they can't figure out how to vote?

I'm more interested in seeing if any of the codgers plow their 83 Lincolns into the polling stations

Well the forecast for codgers plowing into moderately crowded areas is 60% through next Wednesday, with periods of forgetfulness.

Moderately incontinent, with a chance of showers.

If you had said Floridians, I would have said no.. but you said Florida, which implies Jeb Bush and the Bush friends Deibold with their "already proven to be fucked up" voting machines. So yes, I beleive Florida will be very fucked up, but I don't believe it'll be the only place. In 2k8 when a Bush isn't here, and a Bush isn't running for president, I predict all voting problems to be gone. Imagine that.

Bush is going to win Florida by a wide enough margin...There wont be any contest, or by law there wont be able to be one, because Bush will win by 300,000-500,000 votes over the .1-1% margin needed to contest an election there. Consider this, all the polling there has been in Bush's favor. The economy of Florida has been great. The hurricane relief effort the Bush's put into Florida had a positive effect on them, and Kerry wasn't able to campaign in Florida then. The extreme whoop ass Jeb Bush gave to the last competition and having a 84% approval rating atm. It wont be close enough to matter. President Bush's approval rating is decent there aswell at 55%.

Kerry's Hope is to look at winning Ohio(A state with a terrible economy.) without lossing Wisconsin and Iowa, or Pennsylvania. Thats it in a nutshell.

Quoting this so you can't go back and change your post after the election.

The democrats are going to protest no matter what. That's what they're best at.

There is absolutely zero reason for either of us to have to step to a voting booth down here. This district would be 3 or 4 to 1 for Bush. I would be completely shocked if Kerry managed to pull Ohio out of his ass somehow.

Good to hear that but get out and vote anyway!

Ohio is huge this election. Don't let the whiners mess with the vote with their lame strategy to stir shit up about something that doesn't exist. Damn that's pathetic.

I agree. You really should stop talking about Bush' success stories. They truly do not exist.

I currently live 15 minutes from an AK Steel plant that has reduced its operations majorily. As far as I can tell it appears to have sunk the local economy to all hell in the immediate region. Still, there are a ridiculous amount of Bush-Cheney signs plastered everywhere and the college Republicans at my school are the scariest machine I've seen in my life.

I wouldn't put my money on Kerry winning Ohio, at least from what I've seen.

*note (My neighbors just put up an 8 x 4 foot Bush-Cheney sign in their front yard. What a damn eye sore.)

My good friend shares a driveway with someone who put a huge Bush/Cheney sign up on their fence and people were mistakingly thinking that that sign represented my friend. Now my friend has two those 4-8 Kerry signs posted right out near the street so that either way you are driving you can't miss em.
