Barack Obama Elected President!

[Wales2004]

According to Keith Olbermann yesterday, JTP has hired publicists and is now working on trying to become a country music star.....so much for buying that plumbing business. McCain just needs to let him go because he was a fraud from the gate and now he's moved to the class of wannabe entertainers instead of the "every man" McCain and co. are holding him up to be.

Even worse for McCain at that rally.....they had to bus in 4,000 school kids to fill the crowds. I just want to know how it's okay to pull kids out of school to go sit at his rally. I'm sure the kids didn't mind skipping their classes but they all couldn't have thought it was the place to be.

Here's a clip of Joe where are you?

McCain admits that he doesn't think Obama is a socialist and he reveals his big tax plan.......keep taxes where they are....I guess doing nothing is going to fix things which means he really has no plan so keep attacking Obama's plan without any of his own.

I am SOOO ready for it to be Nov. 4th.

And I think there were only 6,000 people there - so 2/3 of the audience had to be these bussed in school kids.

Can this be an omen.

When we had our Federal Election last year (and in Nov) the leader of the opposition had Kev 07 t-shirts that he was pictured with and that people wore.

I see that there is a guersy (sp) with Obama 08 on it.

Kev 07 is Kevin Rudd and he won the election here.

The Early Voting in the Chicago area today is off the chain. The line is HUGE! Its the last day in Illinois to vote early.

[jcar03]

4700 in one county and 5000 in another county within the first hour. One county has had 50% of registered voters vote early this year.

Hey y'all. Admittedly, I haven't been keeping up with the thread much lately. I miss you guys!!

I soooo got choked up a couple times watching Barack last night. The man, IMHO, is amazing and so inspirational. The infomercial was much better than I thought it would be. Of course, I don't think I was his target audience because he already has my vote!

McCain is again, grasping at straws. I saw something today (I think on First Read) that said "Another Day, Another Message" IRT McCain's campaign!

The "Yet" commercial from McCain is good, but I don't think it will be very effective. For me, it comes across as saying that Obama can be a good president, but let me (McCain) be prez first. Please.

Oh, and now we're back to waiting for election day to vote. My honey just wants to be at the polls that day, so oh well. Fine with me. Crist expanded Early Voting here in FL, but our county Elections Supervisor (a registered Repub) is not going to honor it. She says that it's "irresponsible" to expect the local counties to expand the hours. BTW, Crist reportedly consulted with one other government official - a Dem - before making his decision. Maybe that didn't go over well with her? Hmmm.

I just got hooked on this song. I didnt know John performed it at the Democratic Convention.

I just went out to get a cup of coffee and walked past a guy wearing an Obama T-Shirt and he wasn't American as he had an Aussie accent.

Also when our daily papers have anything on the front page in relation to the Presidential Race it is Obama's picture that they put on it more often than McCain's.

So I guess that say's who Aussie's prefer.

This is really funny. You will want to turn your sound on and move the cursor around. Once the hand comes up, click on it. Click on the door several times, it does a few different things.

^^That is fun!

[SnCCorinthos4ever]

That was funny.

My sister voted this morning here in FL. She said that a few of them were talking in the line and they were all voting for Obama (1 black lady, 2 hispanics and 3 white people). I asked her if any McCain supporters joined in the conversation. She said no.

That's interesting. We're in Volusia County (Daytona Beach), which I always considered to be very conservative. And we're part of this "I-4 Corridor" swing that they say is very important to the candidates. Joe Biden will be here on Sunday, but the DNC hasn't announced the time and location yet.

CNN is reporting that two men have been arrested for hanging an Obama effigy. I totally agree that hanging an effigy of anyone should lead to arrests. But there has been a Sarah Palin effigy hanging from a home in California and as far as I know, the man has not been arrested yet. I know at first, the police let it go. They may have arrested the person by now, but the last I saw, no one was arrested.

As much as I dislike Sarah Palin and everything she stands for, she doesn't deserve to have a hanging effigy. Why are the people who hung the Obama effigy arrested yet the homeowner who hung the effigy of Sarah Palin isn't? Says a whole lot about equality between men and women.
