Diversity of opinion

Slate polled their entire staff, even the software engineers, to see who they're voting for:

Barack Obama: 55
John McCain: 1
Bob Barr: 1
Not McCain: 1
Noncitizen, can't vote: 4
The most lopsided national poll shows a 15 point lead for Obama and the RCP average is around 7%; Slate's spread is somewhere around 87%. So there's a message for all you aspiring journalism students who are thinking of interning at Slate: craft your resume carefully and demonstrate the right kind of thinking.

I find that poll hard to take seriously. You don't really believe there's someone at Slate who is going to vote for McCain, do you? Get real.

John McCain would be winning this election if it weren't for those 55 jerks at Slate.

Wow, one whole vote for McCain. One of the bitter gun clingers I bet.

Probably poked out the wrong chad by mistake.

But as we know, young people don't vote. So it's really a 1-0 win for McCain.

Thanks, Joe the Systems Administrator!
