What's with all of the lame posts about voting machines? Is this the fall-back plan (point the finger at potential voting machine errors, ala the lame "hanging chad" issue from 2004), in case McCain somehow gets voted in as president?

Media bias? What media bias? Jeez, I'm freaking tired of the rah-rah, one-view stance of almost every freaking media web site out there! But I appreciate this opportunity to respond! Other media sites don't usually allow that...
