Well, well thought the favored polls were saying that Obama was going to bury McCain....

I don’t think Ohio is going to be close enough to fight over. McCain wins by 3-4 %

ROFLOL!!! This was the mantra of the NY Times in 2004 and they made zero difference. This time the provisional ballots will even have less of an impact as McCain wins bigger! :)

Is this the same NY Times that shows the Lib Messiah up by 11%?

Does this sound like 2004 or what? The minute they started seeing they wouldn’t win OH, they started talking about the “provisional ballots.”

[CycloneGOP]

The NYT thinks it could be close? After all these months of saying otherwise??

LOL

The New York Times is sweating bullets over Obama. They're laying the groundwork to cry fraud if he loses next week.

It used to be that Provisional ballots in Ohio were only counted if the election was within 2-3% otherwse they didn’t bother. That is why I don’t like to early vote.

The provisional ballots will be pro-McCain. Bank on it. It’s not as if the OH SOS is making all the fraudsters use provisional ballots.

Republicans requested a *lot* of absentee ballots (courtesy of McCain’s GOTV effort that focuses on absentee ballots). If you request an absentee ballot, but then decide to vote in person, you have to vote via provisional ballot!
