About 300 of these absentee ballots were sent to voters in Rensselaer County, here in New York (across the river from Albany).
Bi-partisan officials have said that it was simply a typo, and I agree, but I'd say BEST TYPO EVER!!!
I'll be keeping my eyes on eBay and CraigsList, because I WANT ONE OF THESE!!!

Just so there's no mistaking the legitimacy of it, here's a link to the local newspaper story:

? NY can't have people making fun of how Osama and Obama are alike, Barrack Hussein Osama? I bet they don't tease about ordering fried rice from Chinese restaurants and call up to order and accidentally say "frwied lice"?
Or is it that you think that NY would be too careful to let something like this slip by?

No, I was just saying that NY is a liberal state, so chances are that the person typing this up supports Obama and wouldn't make fun of him in that way.

Yeah but there are Conservtives in liberal states too. I imagine someone did this on purpose to cause a stir or to get a laugh about it.

exactly, someone did it either intentionally or as a joke that didn't get fixed before getting sent out.
no accident about it.

Or someone was using spell check and didn't bother to proof it themselves and just accepted the spelling suggestions.

though the keys are no where close, People (and it would probably be harder for news article writers) have been writing about Osama Binladen for years now, typing osama instead of obama is possible. And as far as the spell check thing goes, I just typed a email to a friend and I mentioned something about Obama, and when it ran its spell check, it highlighted Obama and asked if I meant Osama.

Spell check only tells you if a word is spelled incorrectly, not whether you've used the right word.

retard, when I just typed my email the stupid spell check came up said my word Obama was wrong, then gave me a couple of words I could change it to, OSAMA being the first one. Thank you on your observation, but I wouldn't post that if my computer didn't really do that

Retard, I wasn't talking to you. I was making a general comment. That's how this works. I'll quote you if I'm replying specifically to you.

yeah, cause no one would think you were talking to me since I had just posted about spellcheck. Anyway I don't really care, but whatever makes you feel better.

Redsox, you should probably just shut up, since you don't even have a dog in this fight. And honestly, just because I called hotzester a retard doesn't make what I have to say any less intelligent. I haven't seen anything "intelligent" typed by you yet, so go sit in the corner till you have something useful or interesting to say.
