McCAIN PICKS UP KEY ENDORSEMENT: DIEBOLD
By R J Shulman
NORTH CANTON, Ohio – Senator John McCain well on his way to the Republican Presidential nomination, but lacking support from some conservatives, got a key endorsement today from Diebold, the ATM and voting machine manufacturer. “We believe in Senator McCain’s new found support of corporate tax cuts,” said Diebold CEO Thomas Swidarski, “We believe our endorsement will mean thousand of votes for McCain, regardless of how people vote.”

“I am pleased and honored to receive this important endorsement,” said McCain, “most endorsements don’t mean squat, like Ted Kennedy for Obama or even the Teamsters, but Diebold coming out for me should translate into real votes or at least real vote totals.”
