I'll vote No for Prop 8... It's not fair to those who want to marry their farm animals.

Has this been cited before. It's a blog article from March 2008.
"American Politics and Francis Ford Coppola"
http://politicalinquirer.com/2008/03/03/american-politics-and-francis-ford-coppola
Quote:
...
Michael understands that no matter how strong its military or how savvy its diplomats, the Corleone family will not succeed in the multipolar environment ahead unless it learns to take better care of its allies. Like America after the Iraq War, the mafia empire that Michael inherits after the hit on Sonny possesses a system of alliances on the brink of collapse. Having flocked to the Corleone colors when the war against Sollozzo broke out, the family’s allies—like America’s in the “New” Europe—have little to show for the risks they have undertaken on the family’s behalf. Exhausted by war and estranged by Sonny’s Rumsfeld-like bullying, they have begun to question whether it is still in their interests to backstop a declining superpower that is apparently not interested in retaining their loyalty.

That was great RR. I had seen only a small portion. All of them are great. Farrell has Bush down to every idiotic expression. lol

Btw, I've read rumors that BHO is gonna make one more appearance before the election, but no new news on that.

FYI,

It is reported that early voting is record breaking this election. I still suspect long lines will be historic. I just hope people don't decide not to vote because the lines are too long or, worse yet, I hope they are not turned away because the polls close. In other words, I hope these polling places are prepared. ohwell


TIS


Twenty-nine states were accepting early ballots as of Tuesday, and Oklahoma will begin accepting early ballots next week.

In North Carolina, which has developed into a battleground state, nearly 500,000 voters have cast absentee ballots, according to the State Board of Elections. Officials at the State Board of Elections expect to surpass numbers from the 2004 election, when 700,000 people voted early.

From CNN:
John McCain's brother Joe calls 911 to complain about traffic, then tells the 911 operator "F*ck you" when he doesn't like the operator's response.

Can I just say something about this whole "brother and family" type stories. I have a sister that I haven't talked to and wouldn't talk to if you paid me all the money in the world. You don't know what kind of relationship McCain and his brother have (at least I haven't heard anything). So whats stopping the Obama campaign from finding this out and making a little call to his brother? I just think stuff has to be limited to the candidate himself.

We do know what kind of relationship they have. Joe has actively campaigned for John, and recently got into trouble for calling Northern Virgina "Communist country".

Well to be fair I have to admit I do a lot of programming for credit card entries. Obama had someone with some sloppy and careless oversight, but there are SO many checks along the process that no way they are going to get money from false names.

Funny, the only time I experienced credit fraud wasn't online, but those old carbon methods. The carbon was stolen and someone put $3K worth of clothes on my card.

Obama up in Georgia? Maybe not, but it's now in play.

Code:

Georgia   Rasmussen	      McCain 51, Obama 46   McCain +5
Georgia	 (Insider Advantage)  Obama 48, McCain 47   Obama +1

If Obama is doing as well as the polls suggest (and I have no reason to trust the polls) we'll know early election night if he is the winner because if Virginia and N Carolina are called in his favor its over.

McCain campaign volunteer admits to making up story about being attacked by Obama supporter:

Developing ...

Police sources tell KDKA television in Pittsburgh that 20-year-old John McCain campaign volunteer Ashley Todd has admitted to lying to them about being mugged and attacked by a man who carved a "B" into her cheek after seeing a McCain bumper sticker on her car. Todd is expected to face charges for the false report, according to KDKA.

With all of the early voting occurring, when we actually get to election night, how early do you think the networks will call certain states? They are estimating that 30% of registered voters will vote before November 4th. I still believe that the networks do not want to avoid the embarrassment of 2000 by calling a state too early. If the race is close in any state, I think they will all play it safe.

I don't think things will get called early because #1, the 2000 election, and #2, they want to keep people watching as long as possible.

The networks will do as they have done for decades. Based on exit polls, they will call the electoral vote state by state as early in the evening as they feel confident about their polling to do so. Yes, Virginia and N. Carolina will be called probably by 9/10PM CST and that will tell us alot.

With the first African American candidate involved, I really doubt they're going to rely too much on exit polls. Especially in the battleground states.

Very true.

Hell, what President hasn't had a screwy brother/sister?

From Billy Carter to Roger Clinton to Neil Bush, in fact Richard Nixon's brother sought/failed to run a NixonBurger restaurant franchise.

I shit you not.

I'm too lazy to look this up but how are people voting early? Are these all absentee ballots or whats going on? What about all the troops in Iraq have they voted yet?

I'm sure people here have brothers or sisters where people say "How can those 2 be related?" so I don't like the whole brother/sister argument for Presidential Elections, you can't pick your family.

They do not count the early votes until the polls close on election day. I agree the networks will not call states to early, but if eastern states like Virginia and North Carolina report in at 99% and Obama has won either of them then it would bode well for him in the other battleground states.

You're joking, right? Voters in over 30 states have the option of voting a) at the polls before November 4th and b) by absentee ballot. Most states do not require a reason to vote absentee, rather it is offered as an option.

OK.... that's one vote for McCain. If this election is the same as the last one there they'll count that vote 10 times.
