McCain 40% Obama 60% ... well, I might as well not vote
Looks like Obama is gonna win with that margin, so my vote won't make a big difference, besides
I don't like standing in line in the rain. Good thing the race isn't close otherwise I might
have to get off my ass and do something about it.

I would be worried if the race was something like 46%/54% and then I might vote. Good thing
polls are so accurate.

1. Please learn to use the sarcasm notation. Otherwise it comes off like tap-dancing on the radio.

2. The sarcasm emoticon utterly defeats the point of sarcasm

3. Agreed. People really need to tune their sarcasm radars.
I know tone can be hard to discern online, but all it takes is a little effort.

4. Right.
Like satire, if you do it right, everyone understands it. If you have to explain it, you didn't do it well.

I think the original post was clear in it's sarcasm.
