Last week, three voters in Jackson County told The Charleston Gazette their electronic vote for &#8220;Barack Obama&#8221; kept flipping to &#8220;John McCain&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[Wednesday: McCain announces that he&#8217;s &#8220;suspending&#8221; his campaign, reminiscent of the exact same stunt he pulled in 1999. He pushes for tonight&#8217;s debate to be &#8220;delayed&#8221; and somehow tied in the VP debates and suggested it be &#8220;rescheduled&#8221; for a much later date to be determined. Thursday: The McCain campaign announces that they&#8217;ve pulled all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking about this and after reading Sen. McCain&#8217;s statements and the events of the day, I came to the decision that there&#8217;s a lot of reasons for McCain pulling this stunt: 1.
