Acceptance of climate change is NOT the mainstream view, at present. ,

Not to mention the self-examination that revealed more than a few ugly truths. ,

heh..

nice, really nice!

Obama being Prez

I think that Obama being Prez is very good for the black people in the U.S. Because that is very good so that now black people can say that we can be anything that we wont to be.

Subject Line: Beat Long Poll Lines with Absentee Ballots from StateDemocracy.org

Many state and local election officials are encouraging voters to use Absentee Ballots to avoid the long lines and delays expected at the polls on November 4th due to the record-breaking surge in newly registered voters.

Voters in most states still have time to obtain an Absentee Ballot by simply downloading an official application form available through www.StateDemocracy.org, a completely FREE public service from the nonprofit State Democracy Foundation.

VOTE WISE..................VOTE OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT

Popular Vote

The resuts are in and just wanted to congratulate you on your projections in KY, WV, and South Dakota.

When I first read these states and the projections, I thought you were nuts. However, you were fairly accurate, at least in these states. If anything, you underestimated KY and WV as far as the vote totals go.

However, everywhere else you were wrong (in most cases by huge margins). I will say you had the percentage in PR correct but,again, you were wide off the mark as far as the turn out on Puerto Rico was concerned which was very low.

In the final analyst, the popular vote count was evenly split with Obama the winner if you exclude Michigan and Florida. Obama the winner if you include Florida which means Obama was the winner of the popular vote where both Clinton's and Obama's names actually appeared on the ballot. So, I'm going to call Obama the winner of the popular vote.

Clinton can only call herself the winner only if you include Michigan and you give Obama 0 votes. Not my idea of a fair election since her name was the only name on the ballot. However, even if you count & include Michigan, Obama is still the winner if you count the uncommitted vote and count the vote from all 50 states (yes that means including states like Maine, Iowa into the totals)

Leadership, Change and Thinking Outside the Box

Barack Oboma is outstanding candidate whose has the ability to think on his feet

He is dynamic and charismatic individual who can bring life to a nation that is foundering in a prolonged war, economic chaos, environmental disasters and major moral dilemmas.

Not only is Oboma an outstanding candidate. He is a candidate who will move our nation forward into a better tomorrow.

Oboma graduated at the top his class at Columbia and Harvard Law School he represents the best of the best in our nation. On the other hand McCain graduated last in his class at Annapolis. Senator McCain states that he had no knowledge or experience with the economy that he doesn’t have a broad understanding the world political landscape is a given that he himself admits.

The real problem with Senator McCain is that he is not a problem solver. He is inflexible and is unable to think on his feet. In addition he sees the United States bogged down in prolonged war in Iraq for the next 100 hundred years.

So who would you vote for? A President who would lead our nation to a brighter future; or a President that wants to spend the next 100 hundred years in Iraq and thinks that economy is doing great.

My choice is easy I am going to cast my vote for Barrack Oboma.

popular votes

what is the total number of popular votes for each candidate.

Hillary will win South Dakota

Looks like Obama's spiritual advisors, Rev. Rant AND Rev. Flago-Flague really did some damage. Despite Barone's prediction that Hillary will win South Dakota he wrote back in March 2008, the fact is that Obama was leading there by about 12 points for a long time. South Dakota IS an Obama state...oops! I mean prior Trinity Church membership awareness that is.

Obviously Obama IS damaged goods now, otherwise with all the millions of dollars he spent to win South Dakota, why is he behind 36% to 60% Hillary lead?

Go Hillary go! Straight to the convention Aug 25th! God only knows what damage Obama can do to himself in 3 months !

Hispanics for Hillary y que!
