First North Carolina Numbers IN!

Early Favorite is Obama with a very small lead. Florida is fixed, and Obama is LEADING. Obama is also leading the NATIONAL VOTE! In more good news, Obama is again tightening in Indiana! McCain's lead there trimmed from five to three percent! IF the Florida numbers as they now are stay contant, the RACE IS OVER.

Our Prayers Go Out to The Obama Family

Just in on CNN..,Barack OBama's grandmother (Madelyn Dunham age 86) has lost her brave fight with cancer, and has passed away on this the eve of the most important election in America's history. Our deepest condolences go out to the entire Obama family, and we ask all of our readers to keep them in your prayers. The family has asked those wishing to send flowers to instead make a small donation to any organization working toward a cure for cancer.

George W. Bush's Osama Bin Laden Endorsing McCain

Can hear right wing Republicans screaming foul over that title, but it's a serious question. Even as enemy number one, Osama Bin Laden's family and the Bush Clan go way back with each other, and many people believe it was Bin Laden's tape just before election day in 2004 that threw the election to George Bush. Now it seems intelligence sources are expecting a new Bin Laden message to appear just days, even hours before the polls open on Tuesday...who cares? Osama (shemale in a cave) Bin Laden is a HAS BEEN. Bring your message of hate on you backwards thinking moron...it does not matter, America's voters are not going to be fooled this time around, are no longer going to live in fear that you might stick your ugly ass ed face out of the sand to deliver a Halloween BOO FEST.

U.S. Intel Expects Bin Laden Message Near Election

Is there time left for an October Surprise?

Senior government officials tell ABC's Pierre Thomas that the intelligence community is anticipating a message from Osama Bin Laden before -- or just after -- Tuesday's election.

Will Osama bin Laden manage to make an appearance in this presidential election?

At this point, there is no hard evidence that a message is coming. But a number of intelligence analysts are expecting a message because they think it is critical for al Qaeda's top leader to be seen, or heard from, if only for P.R. purposes.

Those analysts believe that if bin Laden is not heard from, he runs the risk of being considered irrelevant or impotent. Read more here: LINK

If Bin Laden is heard from before Tuesday, it would be the second post-9/11 presidential election in which he has reared his head.

In 2004, bin Laden released a message in the days just before the election.

Following his defeat, John Kerry said the tape's release effectively erased any hope he had of victory against Bush.

"It was that Osama tape -- it scared them [the American people]," Kerry told Geraldo Rivera.

During an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" in January of 2005, Kerry elaborated.

"I believe that 9/11 was the central deciding issue in this race," said Kerry. "And the tape -- we were rising in the polls up until the last day when the tape appeared. We flat-lined the day the tape appeared and went down on Monday."

McCain Should Fire Diva, Has Nothing To Lose

Let's face facts...McCain's campaign for the Presidency is officially an embarrassment. His closing arguements are pathetic, his campaign is forever tied into Ashley Todd's racist attempt to steal Pennsylvania, and now he has a raving luncatic rogue Diva out on the trail...what's a man to do? He has nothing to lose, and Sarah Palin has shown his campaign and America that she has no loyalty, so he should FIRE THE BITCH. For the sake of his beloved Republican Party, he needs to play the part of Buffy The Vampire Slayer...hell, if he has to he could trot his cold blooded wife Cindy out to the cameras to play the part of the executioner. Sure Cindy would relish handing Sarah Palin a pink slip on National Televsion.


It would take Sarah Palin off the airwaves, and John McCain could go down in flames with Joe LIEberman standing by his side.

Dislike Being Ignored By Candidates In Presidential Election

It's Time to Eliminate Electorial College

Compared to say Ohio, Kentucky, Indian, Colorado and Missiouri, New York is a huge state when you look at our population. During the Primary, our own Senator Hillary Clinton was for a long part of it the odds on favorite to get the Democratic nomination. Most powerful politicians come to our state, specifically New York city to raise funds among the UBER RICH. Based on our population, it would seem natural that we would get quite a few opportunities to actually see the presidential candidates up close and personal. That is sadly not true...in fact, if you eliminate portions of Presidential Commercials aired on news channels such as CNN as a part of the 24 hour news cycle.

Now I was born in St. Louis, and spent a great deal of my life in the tri-state area of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. While living in that area of the US of A, I have been fortunate enough to actually see four Presidents up close and personal. I've met and photographed President Bill Clinton, his wife Hillary and their daughter Chelsea. While helping campaign for Congressman John Hall back in 2006, I was fortunate to shake Bill Clinton's hand. I've photographed the first George Bush, was within eight feet of Ronald Reagan at his campaign train stop at Courthouse Square in Dayton, Ohio...went out of my way to be there, even though I've never voted Republican. My fourth chance meeting with our nation's President occurred in Louisville, Kentucky when I was not quite four years old when destiny saw me fortunate enough to shake the hand of John F. Kennedy.

The only President I've had a chance to see up close and personal but passed on is George W. Bush. I would not cross the street to shake his hand, despise everything about him...which is hard, as I was raised back in a time when you were taught you ALWAYS respected the President out of respect for the office.

I share all this for a simple reason. It illustrates the fundamental flaw in having the electorial college choose our next President. The system as it now exist's allows the candidates for the highest office in the land to ignore us, makes many of us feel taken for granted in the run up to the Presidency. Here in New York we are considered "solidly Blue" and the campaign is being waged in John McCain's once solidly red states, and a hand full of swing states that could go either way. In fact, every invite I have had to participate in MoveOn.org's weekend phone-athon's are events where we call voters IN OTHER STATES. Imagine attending a Get Out The Vote event where the purpose is to motivate people that don't even live in your own state! Why should Senator Obama or even John McCain put his dollars and time into making a huge appearance here? Maybe because we are voters? Maybe because hundreds of thousands of our citizens have made donations to their campaign? Maybe because we as American Citizens deserve that rare and covetted opportunity to see our President or future president?

For far to long now, the Electorial College process of electing our next President has unfairly allowed small states such as Iowa, New Hampshire and others to recieve the lions share of attention in the most important election the United States of America holds. Why should New Hampshire ALWAYS GET TO GO FIRST? Why was it fair for Michigan and Florida to be penalized because they wanted to move their primaries up so that their citizens for a change would get that major influx of attention from the candidates running for the highest office in America? If we are all honest, if the Democratic Party had not bitch slapped both Florida and Michigan for their actions, we could be seeing a completely different Presidential Campaign right now, would be watching Hillary Rodham Clinton hoping to be elected as our next President.

Obama is running as the candidate of change...perhaps as the next President of the United States, his first major change should be to take the necessary steps to eliminate the Electorial College. Sure, it will take a Constitutional Amendement, but the lay of the land suggests that he would have the votes necessary to get such and Amendment through the Congress, and I would place a bet right now that most states would embrace a leveling of the playing field that saw equality for ALL VOTERS and their voices. If we as a nation claim to live in the biggest most successful Democracy in the world, isn't it time that we elect our President though a truely free and open Democratic Election where the candidate with the most votes wins?
