UPI - 25OCTOBER2004
A new poll released today found that dead felons in Ohio are breaking for Kerry 92 to 8. The same poll also found that amongst likely homeless multiple voters the street people expressed their intent to vote Kerry/Edwards as many as 35 times each.
In Cleveland, a poll of 500 National Guard members and 500 Union members overwhelmingly favored Kerry, with 500 votes Bush and 12,567 votes for Kerry. One Union member commented, "I did it for my job. The BA of our Local told me if I didn't vote Kerry he'd make sure I never worked in this town again, so I felt Kerry would be better for my employment." However, Democrat election worker and single mom Karen Berkely explained that the military vote was important too: "Our office intends to make sure these military overseas ballots are in the mailbox to Iraq sometime around Halloween, so that they can be returned by November 15th or so...".
Times/Post reporters canvassing the downtown area spoke with Fernando Villareal who had arrived from Ciudad Jaurez two days before, riding under a tarp in a lettuce truck with 25 friends and relatives. Fernando was unable to speak English but proudly displayed his brand new voter registration card. "Viva La Raza Y Viva Kerry", he proclaimed with upraised fist.
Chip McSquirm, local DNC Chairperson, asked to comment on voters like Fernando stated, "Don't fall for the GOP hype, they're just trying to disenfranchise undocumented precitizens of color." After a pause Chip added, "Lot's of these folks have multiple jobs, only seems fair that they should get multiple votes as well." Additionally Chip explained, "With these hard working immigrants and our efforts to 'rock the vote' at area methadone clinics, I'm sure we've brought in the most new registrations."
Also, the previously undecided senile dementia vote appears to be breaking for Kerry, literally by the van load. One Kerry operative explained that if you drive them to the polls, hold their hands in the right spot and push for them, these otherwise incoherent folks have no problem voting Democrat. Said the operative, "Some of them think they're voting for FDR, or McKinley, and some of them demand ice cream, but most of them just stand there mute, so it's no problem. These folks can't think or speak, so they're an important part of our base..."
With the important "crack cocaine" vote already locked up by the Democrats, it appears that the battle for the battleground state of Ohio is all but decided.
