Voter Intimidation

This is the sad part of voting.
I would assume that the most of the people being harassed are democrats.
Awful!

"We are learning of private investigators threatening Latino voters in New Mexico, deceptive flyers sent to students in Virginia, and politically-motivated police investigations of new voters in Ohio," Slater said. "These activities are just the latest tactics in what has been a decade-long partisan strategy to limit registration and voting."

Voter intimidation dates back to Caeser's era and it's a shame to see it occur so blatantly.

Taxes

check this out boys- if Obama wins it isnt going to be a good year to make over $600k- a 160k delta in what a person would be paying


the chart on the left breaks it all down

Now what?

Super Tuesday is over and the dust is starting to settle. The results are interesting but as expected. The biggest surprise on the Republican side is the fact that Huckabee won quite a few more states than the zero predicted for him. This happened because some of the evangelicals decided to vote according to their faith and Huckabee is the only Christian. The GOP vote is a winner take all format, so winning those states hamstrung Romney. Huckabee stole more of Romney's votes than McCain's and put the latter on the stage of victory. Honestly, McCain's my man. I have figured out why. He is a liberal conservative such as myself as mentioned in the Black Republican article from before.

Clinton and Obama are basically tied. Hillary won the larger and coastal states, while Barack's vote came from the smaller middle states. The story can be spun many ways stating both sides claimed victory. Using football philosophies, it would seem that the longer Obama is in the race, the greater chance for victory. This is true for all underdogs. A sense in hope can generate within the perceived lesser that is many times more powerful than the greater. Obama is the underdog in this situation. I'm waiting for the Al Gore hammer to drop.

Super Fat Tuesday

Today is the most important day politically in quite a long time.
The outcome of today's vote actually mean something and the world can be impacted.

Today is also Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday, meaning the biggest party in the country is taking place in New Orleans. Mardi Gras is important because it's part of the healing process. The ghost of Katrina still impacts the city and the power of Mardi Gras and the Jazz Festival is the only thing that can repel her.

Basically almost one half of the delegates are available in today's election, with California leading the way in terms of total delegates. Today can decide who are next president will be. Obama gives the most hope, while Hillary lend stability. I guess the same thing can be said about Romney and McCain respectively.

LINK!

John Edwards, Attorney General

That is a great call. Whomever Edwards endorses will probably select him as the Attorney General or as a Cabinet member. Because of that, Edwards will wait until a critical moment like February 4th to announce his endorsement.

He is probably negotiating the rewards in choosing each side. Who ever offers the brightest future for Edwards will win his support. Great call! Secretary something John Kerry, and Teddy of the State. Al Gore needs to swallow his pride and run as VP. He can be president later, he will be younger then than McCain is now.

Final Four

It is getting interesting

Final Four set.

Obama vs Clinton

McCain vs Romney


I still say i have no idea how all of this works. an example how did McCain go from being near death, written off before the thing even started, to come all the way back and be in this strong position going into Super Tues.

Rudi? as we have mentioned in Our W before- where did you go? not sure if it was a strategy error or as i heard last night- outside of New York 9/11 was a while ago and voters in other areas wanted to hear more from him and quite frankly didn't until it was too late.

As B-1 has been predicting for weeks does the Al Gore backing that I am predicting as well for Obama finish off Team Clinton?

there appears to be an agreement between B-1 and W-1.


let me introduce the next attorney general ( if Obama were to win) Mr John Edwards.

I Got a Poll that you can Survey

Hillary's teary eyed moment did not spell doom for the Clinton campaign. This makes for a more spicy future in terms of the election. It would have been boring if Obama were to run away with such as the polls were stating. Polls and surveys are interesting and entertaining, but never accurate when dealing with humans. People, unlike damn near everything else, can change their mind. In politics, the polls can only be 50% accurate because something could happen between the poll and the actual vote which may cause the voter to go the other way. A brilliant man once said this about data and surveys, "Polls and Surveys are like a bikini, what they reveal is interesting, but what they cover up is vital". Meaning that data can be used to create any story, even when the story is not the truth.
