The percentage of sales people that recommend Samsung HDTVs.
Salespeople are also becoming less likely to recommend LCD sets over plasma sets, which goes against the industry trend.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
I'm totally voting for Superman.
Dr. Evil and Mini me!
Batman has that dark brooding Vice Presidential Cheney feel about him.
Vote for me or I'll place you in an easily escapable situation involving an overly elaborate and exotic death.
@Dr. Evil
Now that's reassuring!
Oh hell, let's just do what we always do. Hijack some nuclear weapons and hold the world hostage.
that ho!
I think Gordon Freeman would be a better candidate for today's society, to be honest.
My missouri ballot was paper. and wherever it is now, you'll notice an ink blot next to the name of Ron Paul. Take that, bureaucracy!
"Go ahead, THROW your vote away! (laughter)"

Mechanical.
And it doesn't take fancy Diebold touch screens to 'change' an election. Dead people have been voting in Chicago for decades.
>>most likely to give the votes to Darth Vader, Dr. Evil, or Lord Voldemort. You have been warned.
so what's new.
I'm totally going for vader, man. His campaign group is short on money but his law on under age light sabers is awesome!:p
I see you've stolen my avatar....
Off-topic, but CUBSWILLWIN, did you happen to play any Halo 2 Vista online? Probably not, considering this is Engadget, but I remember a regular player named CUBSWININ07.
What kind of fuckin person would vote for Voldemort? That's just low...
I would totally vote for Steven Colbert if I could.
Ah, but apparently Steven Colbert made Huckabee. Conan O'Brien made Colbert. Jon Stewart... made... Colbert.
no, it's colbert made huckabee, o'brian made colbert, stewart made o'brian.
My vote goes to the Roslin-Foster 08 ticket. I'll finally unite the Cylon and Human political parties.
I didn't know Dr. Evil was running on the independents ballot he seemed republican to me.
I think Orange County, CA has it down right: Its digital BUT it also prints out a paper ballot with your selections which you review, and once you have reviewed them, then you accept it... its nice to have a paper trail so that if something was fishy they could go back and see what the deal was...
Wow, I voted today in New Jersey but I didn't know our machines were on the suspect list. I wonder if that is for every county and not just for the ones with the newest machines.
I just love the name; 'Super Tuesday.' It's brilliant. 'Caucus' is ace to. As for the actual process however, John Oliver called it 'like selecting your leader with a tea party,' and I'm inclined to agree.
However, we seem to have found Gordon Brown by a strange default. No electronic tampering required.
Would you prefer Mega Tuesday?
I heard in Japan it's called "The Super Ultra Mega Tuesday Deluxe Spectacular OK!".
I voted in Massachusetts, and shockingly there was no poll tax.
Uh, New York? We still use mechanical machines...
(I just used one.)
Another chance for bush to win. cant wait to see his name.
Vote Robot Nixon
Gasp I think I see Monica under his hand!
The voting should be doing by taking a scraping of living tissue from your finger--or blood if your so inclined--and then putting your DNA online with the vote.
There. No more copyright issues. Nobody can fake your DNA.
But then dead people could still vote.
True, the dead still have DNA... But once you are dead, you get taken off of social security. You check, your DNA is checked against your SS# and if you are infact dead then you don't get to vote.
Ah, faulty machines. Now Robin Williams can REALLY become the Man of the Year.
I had a choice today between paper or electronic. I did see some people using the computer, but I chose to use the good old reliable paper version.
I can't believe that, with all the evidence that electronic voting machines are inherently insecure and easily hackable (the two kind of go together), that people seem SO obsessed with getting rid of paper.
The bottom line? If it ain't broke as bad as it could be, don't try screwing it up any more.
Malfunction yes. But if you even tried to tamper with a machine in an election setting you'd be fucked. Serously fucked.
Dont believe me? Then make Ron Paul president.

See how that didn't happen... pussies.
I caught this article off GlobalGrind.com so I had to check it out. It's like we can't even trust the government to get the only power we have as people to work right.
so if I mention obama '08 this time, are you going to remove my comment again engadget?
