  For the most part, IMHO, McCain supporters are not the computer-savvy Liberals that support Obama....
  
  They will vote their conscience, not Oprah's....

  As cyberspace is worldwide and as most countries of the world embrace socialism much more than does the US, these results are not surprising. The world realizes that Obama will lead the US into a new socialistic era which will be more like their governments. Then, we will no longer enjoy many of the economic advantages over them which we do today. Our costs, due to the adoption of "free" universal healthcare and other expanded socialist causes, will increase dramatically as will our level of unemployment to match that of most European countries. For better or worse, we will be more like Europe and less like the way we are now.

  Hah! Take that article! See all the anti-Obama comments above? And this is "CYBERSPACE"! Yippee!
  
  That said, I'm voting for Obama, not because I know how to use a computer, but because I think Obama would be a much better President than McCain.
