''No question this is an honest mistake innocently done,'' said Edward McDonough, the Democratic commissioner. ''We catch almost everything.''

''This was a typo,'' said Republican Commissioner Larry Bugbee. ''We have three different staff members who proof these things and somehow the typo got by us.''


If there's that much proofreading, it suggests to me that it wasn't an accident.

Of course it wasn't an accident. What American would type Osama on a ballot and not recognize it? Not to mention that the "S" and "B" are hardly right beside each other. lol

There's also been a massive amount of illegal voter purges in swing states.

Maybe I'll lose after all? Nah, I can't allow myself to believe it.

What's gotten into McCain? All of a sudden he's telling his rallies that Obama is a "decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States."

Even more than once?
"No, ma'am," McCain said several times, shaking his head in disagreement. "He's a decent, family man, [a] citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign is all about."

His fans can't take it and they boo and groan, like the terrified sheep they are.

Maybe it has something to do with this coming out today?

The Alaskan investigation has found Palin guilty of abusing her power in the "Troopergate" ordeal.

Perhaps he's dropping back to punt -- and focusing on keeping his seat in the Senate?

"Many people say" that the GOP will soon put plants in the audience to scream hate for conservatives at Obama's upcoming speeches to "implicate him" as an America-hating terrorist.

Maybe he just saw his rallies in the media, and realized the kind of hate he was encouraging and how this looked to everybody else.

It's true that he's got a nasty temper, but I think he has enough conscience to think better of actually inciting physical violence against his opponent. He's no Bill O'Reilly.

More about McCain's supporters going ape shit nuts because he isn't being hard enough on that arab obama.

"-- With recent polls showing Sen. Barack Obama's lead increasing nationwide and in several GOP-leaning states, some Republicans attending McCain-Palin campaign rallies are showing a new emotion: Rage."

" Later in Minnesota, a woman told McCain: "I don't trust Obama. I have read about him and he's an Arab."

McCain shook his head and said, "No ma'am, no ma'am. He's a decent family man...[a] citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues. That's what this campaign is all about."

The audience then applauded McCain."

Oddly, when my wife watched the video of him saying this, the crowd didn't applaud, they booed when McCain said Obama was a decent man.

According to the NY Times coverage, they started booing but he kept talking and the cheering started, probably as a counterpoint.

I really don't like what I've been reading is happening at this rallies, and hope this is the real McCain realizing he needs to reel things in some.

I think the madness should continue.

John McCain is a self-righteous, spiteful, name-taking moron and it's only fitting that everyone continues to see what kind of personality he represents. Keep them ranting in front of cameras and play it on the news every day until election night so that nobody misses it and everyone understands what nutballs these people are and that what's at stake is more than just the economy.

That's because McCain had volunteers in the audience chanting "USA" and "McCain" to subdue the booing.

You can see the video yourself in the link I posted.

You can also see it here, with the full question from the first guy, instead of being edited out.
