Vice President Sarah Palin : President Palin in 4-8 years Posted: 3 months ago by 2manyusernames
This could make things quite interesting indeed. McCain has announced that Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin is his Vice Presidential choice. This really is an ideal candidate for him. Could help with the Hillary voters, she's younger and has a lot of supporters even outside her state. Even many democrats like her.

Obama's Finance Ploy Posted: 9 months ago by 2manyusernames
There are a couple issues McCain is facing right now regarding election finances. These could dramatically effect his ability to campaign.
In order for the FEC to make a ruling they need a quorum but there are are not enough members. Obama is blocking the confirmation of an appointee. If Obama continues this, McCain will have his hands tied financially and Obama will obtain a huge advantage.

'I Would Make A Bad President,' Obama Says In Huge Campaign Blunder Posted: 2 weeks ago by tvirus

Documentary to explore media impact on voters. Posted: 14 hours ago by shuallyo
On Election day twelve Obama voters were interviewed extensively right after they voted to learn how the news media impacted their knowledge of what occurred during the campaign. These voters were chosen for their apparent intelligence/verbal abilities and willingness to express their opinions to a large audience. The rather shocking video below seeks to provide some insight into which information broke through the news media clutter and which did not.
All of this was conducted for a forthcoming documentary on how the news media impacted the 2008 election. Please get on our mailing list and return to this website in the coming months for more information on the film, "Media Malpractice... How Obama Got Elected"
Because obviously interviewing a relative handful of Obama voters, while interesting, is hardly scientific proof of anything, we also commissioned a Zogby telephone poll which asked the very same questions (as well as a few others) with similarly amazing results.
Zogby Poll
512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points
97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates
Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions
57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)
81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)
82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)
88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)
56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).
And yet.....
Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes
Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter
And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her "house," even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!
Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.
Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)

What Clinton Wishes She Could Say Posted: 7 months ago by 1thirteen3
Why, ask many Democrats and media commentators, won’t Hillary Rodham Clinton see the long odds against her, put her own ambitions aside, and gracefully embrace Barack Obama as the inevitable Democratic nominee?
Here is why: She and Bill Clinton both devoutly believe that Obama’s likely victory is a disaster-in-waiting. Naive Democrats just don’t see it.

Why Is The World Rooting For Obama? Posted: 7 months ago by 2manyusernames
How do you explain the fact that Obama seems to be the favourite of the “rest of the world”?
he would represent a new vision of the US, one which is multicultural. At a time in global politics in which globalization and migration are raising concerns about multiethnicity and social cohesion people would see Obama’s election as a sign of progress on that front.
