The paper has encouraged its readers to express their opinions on the November 2 presidential election to voters in the key swing state of Ohio -- to the fury of Clark county.
"Hey England, Scotland and Wales, mind your own business. We don't need weenie-spined Limeys meddling in our presidential election," was one of the e-mail reactions to the campaign.

Upon my word!
Oh, please. They love it and they know it.
I did my part. I signed up to get a name, with no intention of writing. Just wanted to get one person's name off the Guardian list.
No apology necessary, friend.
Oh man, I really like her books. I wish I didn't know that she was a Kerry doofus.
Boo Yeah! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it limeys! I bet monocals were poppin out all over jolly old england when they read that.

"Real Americans aren't interested in your pansy-ass, tea-sipping opinions. If you want to save the world, begin with your own worthless corner of it," wrote one from Texas"
African-Americans, however, remain the principal target of the Republican campaign to block the vote. Unlike the 60s, when black Americans were barred from the polls by police dogs, water cannon and billy clubs, the means today are more refined.
