- dn11, on 01/15/2008, -3/+61It doesn't even matter anyway, the DNC stripped Florida of it's delegates this election cycle - this was a result of too many states jockeying for early position in the primary season.

- 10001110101, on 01/15/2008, -0/+43Voters get hung up about names all the time.. Look at the 2000 election, and all the hype about that Chad guy.
- iching, on 01/15/2008, -2/+42Two different names can invalidate the vote technically
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -3/+36Maybe people in Florida will think that Mortal Kombat's very own Baraka is running for office, and will vote for him that way because - let's face it - Baraka is made of awesome.
- iching, on 01/15/2008, -0/+31Or Borak
- cl2yp71c, on 01/15/2008, -1/+27I'm still waiting for when it says Clitnon on the ballot.
- geekchic, on 01/15/2008, -8/+33Are the voters so daft that they can't work out that Barak Obama is just a typo of Barack Obama and still cast their vote?
- djh816, on 01/15/2008, -3/+25Title was very misleading. I completely expected it to be Osama
- MacEnvy, on 01/15/2008, -1/+18"Campaign of Hope and Change for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of America"
- V0lk, on 01/15/2008, -5/+20Why do we even ALLOW Florida to vote anymore?
- halcyon626, on 01/15/2008, -3/+16Unfortunately, you just described the general populous.
- iching, on 01/15/2008, -3/+14I agree, but I guess they need more practice reading and printing before they take the short yellow bus home before the November election.
Volusia County is a republican stronghold if that explains anything too.

Oh, nevermind, its fricking Florida, which explains everything since 2000. - MforMike, on 01/15/2008, -3/+14What do they think is going to happen? Some guy gets his ballot and plans on voting for Obama and suddenly realizes he must have dropped out of the race because hes not on the ballot, but there is a new guy named Barak Obama, maybe its his brother.
- Thumper13, on 01/15/2008, -0/+9Why don't you make a smug, lame joke that is tired and can be corrected with just a little research.
- senorcool, on 01/15/2008, -0/+8I was watching CNN so I can't source this really, but they said that the machines do know that Barak is Barack and that all votes cast for "Barak" will be counted.
- clkou, on 01/15/2008, -2/+10"Ok, time to cast my vote ... let's see, oh there he is ... wait a second ... B-A-R-A-K Obama?! Who the hell is this guy?! Where is Barack Obama?! Now I have to vote for Hillary. Who's behind these shenanigans?! Oh, Florida, your voting incompetency knows no bounds!!!"
- vervalsing, on 01/15/2008, -0/+8I think I'd rather have a Kennedy than another Bush.
- FatLoser, on 01/15/2008, -4/+12There are a lot of Jewish voters in Florida, and there happens to be a very highly though of Israeli politician named Barak. This is, if anything but a mistake, intentional and likely to help Obama in Florida.
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -1/+9Wow you are so ignorant.
- ChromaVita, on 01/15/2008, -0/+6My name is Barak H Obama, and I am also running for president. I was hoping there wouldn't be any mix ups with Barack also running. It is good to see that they have decided to include me in the race this year. I hope you all think of me come election day.
Sincerely,
Barak Obama - bradcrc, on 01/15/2008, -0/+6heh, like it matters who you vote for in Florida.
- ThomasMarshall, on 01/15/2008, -0/+6Florida's middle name is Dumbass.
- groovychk, on 01/15/2008, -0/+6Hi, my name is Barak! Where's Zorak?
- MacEnvy, on 01/15/2008, -0/+6You may be an atheist, but you're also a neocon-supporting, war-mongering *****.
For anyone else reading, those pages are NSFW. They're also very disturbing. - phunlee, on 01/15/2008, -2/+8kahrytan or stupiddumbasswhodoesn'tevendeservemecommentinghere.. same piece of ***** to me. Get rid of them both. :)
- svendm, on 01/15/2008, -1/+7Uh riiight.. "Ehud Barak" and "Barak Obama" are just sooo similar names.Obviously all the jewish people are going to go out and vote for him. It's just so easy to confuse the former Prime Minister (and current Minister of Defense) of Israel with a black US Senator from Chicago. I mean, members of the Israeli cabinet just pop up on Democratic Primary ballots all the time!
In other news, Ron Paul can be expected to get the Latino vote due to people confusing him with Pope John Paul. - MrsFisty, on 01/15/2008, -2/+8You'd kind of expect someone with a marijuana leaf as their avatar to be slightly more open minded.
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -0/+6When I try to make clever comments I get dugg down, so I'm going for the tried-and-tested crowd pleasers.
- chaosium, on 01/15/2008, -0/+5Get psychological help.
- thejoshbennett, on 01/15/2008, -1/+6Epic.
- Observant1, on 01/15/2008, -0/+5prays they have read ghouliani enough times to print it that way too.
- anachronaut, on 01/15/2008, -0/+5@ skankyBacon
He's a notorious neocon-supporting spamming troll, and a proven liar to boot. Take a good look at his comment history. Right now he's concentrating on smearing Obama to the point that I'm fairly certain he's being paid for his efforts.
Either that or he's a very lonely, very crazy person with lots of time on his hands and an ax to grind. Whatever the case, though, he's clearly got an agenda and has been using Digg as his personal soapbox for weeks. - FatLoser, on 01/15/2008, -1/+6Nobody ever said it was clever... but it sure as hell is made of awesome.
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -3/+8only in florida.
- TheSabre, on 01/15/2008, -1/+6Oh no!
Hussein is one of the most popular names in a very large part of the world. Would you have a problem if his middle name was John? - DesertTripper, on 01/15/2008, -0/+5It helps to spell "Kucinich" properly, too.
I like Kucinich because he is for ending the drug war. To be realistic, though, he'll never win on that alone. Too many sheeple out there that are scared of a plant. His ideas are too futuristic for modern politics. - ZenMojo, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4And the evidence is...where? 12 years of legislative history should give you a view of his policies. It's called Google.

- cathpah, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4gotta love those florida ballots. one would think whoever is in charge of them, they'd REALLY watch their ***** considering the recent history.
but no. - Gemfinder, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4Just you wait, someone will.
- chaosium, on 01/15/2008, -1/+5Hahaaha how do you people hold down jobs.
- ChromaVita, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4Having lived in Florida my whole life... yes.
- FatLoser, on 01/15/2008, -3/+7Well thank science for that. I can now rest at peace knowing that CNN's random person is assuring us that Diebold machines are capable of correcting for spelling errors.
- siszam, on 01/15/2008, -4/+8Why? Only someone who isn't very bright base their opinion of a person on his or her name.
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4thank god ron paul is easy to spell
- siszam, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4Did you think of that all by yourself?
- ochito, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4Populous (adjective): Very populated
Populace (noun): The common people
