LOL! McCain camp regional director: "We have a technological advantage in these last hours"

[Avalux]

Their lies are becoming more and more outrageous.

Can't remember the guy's name; but he was interviewed from Florida this morning on NPR. He kept going on and on about how the #s are tightening in the battleground states, specifically PA. Finally, the interviewer asked him why he thinks that when the polls say otherwise.

Without missing a beat, he said that McCain's campaign has a technological advantage; they have the ability to get data from states and compile it in ways the Obama campaign can't; their numbers are showing McCain surging.

The follow-up question was to provide some details; McCain's rep said "we don't like to discuss specifics".

1. We know the Diebold machine codes and

we will be flipping votes.

Be very scared.

[babylonsister]

2. I laughed out loud when I read this.

:D They are so out of their element, whatever that might be!

[blueclown]

3. Was he referring to microtargeting?

Obama's campaign does that also.

[Avalux]

He wouldn't give any specifics.

Who knows? I think he was just making stuff up; or else they have someone on the inside flipping votes, but I doubt it.

[Thrill]

4. I'm pretty sure they don't have any technical advantage over the Obama campaign

[LisaL]

5. Well, if true, HTF can it be? Would such a thing be legal?

Technological advantage? Sounds fishy to me.

[Avalux]

7. It's not true. These people say the opposite of the truth.

It's well known Obama's team are all about the numbers; one of the reasons he's done so well in red states. Their GOTV effort is superior too.

[ITsec]

6. :...and compile it in ways the Obama campaign can't..."

Sounds like someone corrupted their source code before they compiled it.

:rofl:

[yellowcanine]

8. Yes I heard that. Apparently he is under the impression that computers vote.

[yellowcanine]

10. OTOH maybe it was a Freudian slip and he is thinking the fix is on?

9. McCain camp technical adviser-

11. Sounds like Karl's math to me.

Election Night, 2004. Rove with assistant Susan Ralston.

12. Ugh.

All we can do is hope Obama's team is ready for it.

[demokatgurrl]

13. We have ways of messing about with the machines. n/t

[southernyankeebelle]

14. Fixed machines

This country has to go back to paper ballots. Its a must for everyone no matter if they are republicans or democrats. If they win fair and square than we all can believe it. But these machine are terrible. I worry they will still the election with these machines. Hopefully this time Obama will not play this game and let the republicans steal it again.

15. Can you hear that?

That's the sound of Obama's IT staff laughing their asses off.
