Shan-ul-Hai   
Back in February 2007, USA Today/Gallup asked Americans the following question:
"Between now
and the 2008 political conventions, there will be discussion about the

religion, race, and so on. If your party nominated a... ( added 1 year 151 days ago.) |

 - Jean Purcell (1,865)   
Jean Purcell
In this presidential election year 2008, people are once again remembering Florida and the 2000 election night when Al Gore thought he had won Florida.

Is the Presidential Election Scaring You? -
- Walter Rhett (3,005) 
Times of great decision bring high stress. Even through the election of the president is a group decision, actually state-by-state, individuals can experience anxiety, a rise in blood pressure, mood swings, nervousness, or loss of appetite.

Sympathy for a Politician -
- Terry Mitchell (5,358)  
Terry Mitchell
Politicians are people Americans love to hate. Much of their negative public perception is well-deserved. However, I do feel sorry for them in a way because, sometimes, they just can't win.
When they change their mind, they are called flip-floppers. But if they refuse to do so, they are called... ( added 1 year 24 days ago.) |
Sincere Debaters vs. Talking Point Carriers -
- Terry Mitchell (5,358)
Terry Mitchell
There are basically two types of media pundits and commentators who exist on the various sides of the political spectrum -- sincere debaters and talking point carriers.

Election Day Will Not Be the End of the World -
Terry Mitchell (5,358)
Terry Mitchell
No matter who comes out victorious in the presidential election on November 4, it will not be end of the world. It will not result in any cataclysmic events and the republic will not fall apart.

The Pros and Cons of McCain's VP Selection -
Terry Mitchell (5,358)
Terry Mitchell
Yesterday John McCain surprised most of the pundits -- myself included -- with his selection of a dark horse candidate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, as his running mate. I'll be the first to admit that I was dead wrong in guessing that his short list had been narrowed to just Minnesota Governor... ( added 1 year 82 days ago.) |
McCain v. Obama = A Dirt Clod Throwing Contest -
Missing Link (679) 
Missing Link
I am so sick and tired of these two buffoons. McCain is working his rear off to make Obama look like a childish neophyte while Obama is working his off to look like an elder statesman. I just want to barf.
Do they not get what We the People are concerned about? Do they not understand that it is... ( added 1 year 119 days ago.) |

- Jean Purcell (1,865)
Jean Purcell
When Iraqi citizens of the legal voting age were first able to vote a few years ago, they risked their lives to do so. Do we treasure freedom to that degree?

An Analysis of the January 19th Contests -
Terry Mitchell (5,358)
Terry Mitchell
The results of Saturday's contests in Nevada and South Carolina boosted the fortunes of some, set back some, and pretty much finished off some others.

Terry Mitchell (5,358)
Terry Mitchell
Before the voting season that has just passed us by recedes any further into the rearview mirror, I would like to offer a few random thoughts on the subject.
(1) I don't like early voting. Many states allow it, no questioned asked. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's just something... ( added 1 year 8 days ago.) |
The Anti-Incumbency Movement Is Dead -
Joel Hirschhorn (2,872) 
Joel Hirschhorn
Voting out congressional incumbents failed this year, showing the anti-incumbency movement to be a clear letdown.

A Monday Morning Quarterback's Postmortem of the Election Season -
Terry Mitchell (5,358)

Since the close of the presidential election season on Tuesday night, I've been pondering how different the outcome might have been, had a few things transpired a little differently.

Yesterday, on November 4, 2008, I, as did millions of Americans, began my day; standing in a very long line to cast my ballot for the candidate I wanted to be the next President of the United States.

My Humble Analysis for Election Night -
Terry Mitchell (5,358)
Terry Mitchell
For John McCain, Election Night will be a game of survival not unlike a sports team in the playoffs -- win and go on or lose and go home.

Patricia Barbee
Growing up in Boston, we cut our teeth on politics. Before we learned the color-wheel in art class, we could hold adult conversations on the events of the day. I have voted early for November 4, 2008, so nothing will change my ballot. I'm a positive person and look for the best in everyone. This... ( added 1 year 18 days ago.) |
