Polls compiled by the election-statistics website Five to the Thirty-Eight reveal a development surprising to some analysts: the galaxy Messier 101 has swung overwhemingly to Obama, with only a few pockets of McCain support in the outlying regions.
"This comes as a real shock," says Xynn Tragulon the 2.5th, professor of political science at Albireo University. "Just after the primaries, M101 was a toss-up."
"Our models aren't entirely broken," according to Tura Ngalila of the nonpartisan Terminus Institute. "For example, M33, also known as the Triangulum Galaxy, remains solidly in the Republican column."
"Citizens of Triangulum always pride themselves on being 'values voters'", added Ngalila. "They have little regard for the 'Andromeda elitists', who in return are happy to dismiss the residents of Triangulum as 'pinwheels'."
M83, known sometimes as the "Southern Pinwheel", is a more complicated case, as its electoral votes are divided following Interstellar Congressional districts. The rural regions continue to hold out for McCain, with disaffected liberals in the more tech-heavy globular clusters opting to vote Nader in protest.

All is not lost, McCainiacs! I'm confident that some of the undersampled gaseous regions of the void are still loci of McCain support!
When you think of hard vacuum, think McCain/Palin

Actually, I was thinking that the McCainiacs would be found huddled in neutron stars and objects of similar... compactness.

Did you know that Sarah Palin is in favor of off-planet oil drilling in Triangulum?
And Obama wants to raise taxes to fund stem-cell research at Albireo University.
