According to Faux News
Obama and McCain are dead even in the swing states. My guess is that when Obama wins, there will be a push to void the results, they will scream voter fraud, if that happens, Im predicting there will be riots.

1. That's because the swing states are deep red states.

2. They're using McCain's own weakness to make the election sound close
They're just hiding behind the fact that there are fewer true swing states than not.

3. True by self reference
If the state is leaning to one candidate or the other then, by definition it is not a swing state.

If it is dead even, then it is a swing state by definition.

Another inane meaningless Faux statement that implies much but says nothing.

4. If they claim voter fraud...
let's just laugh at them and tell them they're crying over spilt milk, just like they did in '00 and '04.

I mean, there is no possible way they'll have as much evidence of voter fraud as WE did in '00, and '04, so they won't have a leg to stand on.

Just point and laugh and continue on with your business. Even better, tell "if you don't like it you can get out!" with your best faux-redneck accent...
