Just voted for Obama in the Indiana primary. (No help from Diebold)
The nice lady checked my driver's license, had me sign a form, and gave me my swipe card for the Diebold machine. The fucking machine cast my ballot after the first page, which consisted of voting for "No more than 4" from a list of three candidates for school board. WTF! So, I called the lady over, she rolled her eyes, and we started the painful process of the provisional ballot.

She swears that my will be counted. I'm not convinced.

Thanks, Diebold. :mad:

7. Yes...
With more folks like you we can shut Hillary down and get to fighting the real battle in the war against John McCain.
Hillary would make a nice ambassador to Somalia.

6. I agree. Obama's legal team will want to know about this.
They'll want to file an incident report.

8. There were two others voting when I voted...
... and they were having trouble as well.

I have the number for the local Obama headquarters. I'll call them right now.

9. What's your impression in Indiana?
Do you think the latest flare-up over Wright will kill his chances? Have you talked to anyone since yesterday about the election?

10. The Wright thing isn't playing at all with my colleagues.
My compatriots are all Republicans. I have other colleagues who are Dems, but I haven't seen them in the past few days.

The Wright thing won't make much of a difference except with those already inclined not to vote for Obama.

My impression overall: Hillary by 5. But, Indiana is far too strange to evaluate easily. If Obama mobilizes in the core areas, he's golden.
