Odd, I wouldn't have predicted Cuba for McCain.....

1. Maybe they know Rove & the repuplicans will steal it again or perhpas they

know another four more years of McBush policy will bring us to our knees and we will have to have a revolution for real change for the people & the workers.

2. Maybe They Polled the Troops Who Serve at Gitmo

3. Bullshit

There is a lot of it flying around.

Where do the figures come from?

4. I believe they polled their subscribers.

For a different perspective on a world vote you can check out this site that anyone can vote at. http://www.iftheworldcouldvote.com/results Cuba looks a lot different here.

5. It's an online poll. Like AOL or DU or CreepRepublic polls.

It means only that people who go to that site (probably not your typical citizen) and bother to click and such are included in the tally. It says something about people in various countries who have internet access to The Economist's website and go there and vote, but not much else.

6. Most Cubans would probably say both are two heads of a same dragon... nt

7. Adobe FlashPlayer is required

I don't have that, and I'm not using dial-up to wait all day to download it.

There are no Marxist articles, and if you do a search of socialism on the website, it obvious everything related to that topic is skewed to the right.

The only Cubans who are voting are probably CANF types from South Florida. On the island itself, any Cuban who had access to that site is probably doing it illegally, as I'm sure this rag is not going to be given much play in Cuban-controlled internet access.
