Huh?

Posted in:

Illinois

Would someone translate this, please? (Emphasis added):

Ohio je “swing” state, u kojoj je pobedio svaki republikanski kandidat koji je postao predsednik. Ima veliki broj blue collar glasova, koji su takodje i pod jakim uticajem sindikata. Otud vaznost ovoj drzavi.

Neznam ko, neko je skoro na ovom forumu pljuvao po Ohaju kao o devetoj rupi na svirali, i manje vaznom od Illinoisa. Pogresno. Illinois je okorelo dummocratski, ovog puta jos vise nego ikad ranije, i to zbog idiotizma lokalnih republikanaca koji su izgubili i downstate. Milorad Blagojevich pokusava da bude novi Bil Klinton, da bude sve svakome - ali u jednopartijskoj drzavi kao sto je Illinois sad najvise ima problema unutar svoje partije. I sa kamiondzijama koje ce u top da ga stave zbog najavljenog poskupljenja putarina.

Kako god, dodje novembar - Illinois i Michigan su Kerrijevi, Wisconinsin, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana su ‘up for grabs’.

Tipujem Kerry dobija Iowu, Bush Wisconsin i Ohio. I pobedjuje.

I tried with an online Serbo-Croatian dictionary. This is what I come up with for the first paragraph, using a lot of creativity to fill in the words and grammar that I couldn’t figure out. I think the problem is that verb endings screw up the translator.

Ohio is a swing state, which any republican candidate for president must win. It’s rumored to have a large mass of blue collar workers who belong to unions.

I’ll see if I can make out anymore, but it looks to me like a Serbian or Croatian explanation of american politics prior to the November election.

This by way of saying thanks for bringing up the election equipment issue.

This site may help decipher most of that post. I tried many of the different languages and some words come up and others donâ€™t???? If anything at least it is a good link to translate in the future. So is Milorad just Rodâ€™s full name?

“Ohio is a “swing” state, in which every Republican vcandaidate who has become president has won. It has a large number of blue collar votes, which are strongly influenced by unions. That is why the state is so important.

I do not know who, somebody on this forum put down Ohio as an unimportant place, less important than Illinois. Illinois is irrtrievably Democratic [the writer makes an insulting pun here, “dummocratic”], and that is because of the idiocy of the local Republicans who even lost downstate. Milorad Blagojevich is trying to be a new Bill Clinton, to be everything to everyone. But in a one-party state likke Illinois he has the most problems within his own party. Also with truck drivers who want to put him in a cannon because of the announced increase in road tolls.

However it turns out, come November Illinois and Michigan are Kerry’s, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio and Indiana are up for grabs.

I predict that Kerry will win Iowa, and Bush will win Wisconsin and Ohio — and win>”Don’t know why you wanted this poor piece of analysis translated, but there you have it.
