2. Republican Party
Edited on Sun Nov-30-08 04:27 PM by sorrybushisfromtexas
They will slowly lose the South as America is quickly becoming a more diverse society. They do not accept it. The Republican convention looked like a party for semi-retired former KKK members with a few trophy wives thrown in. Our convention was in contrast a mosaic of the beautiful promise of America. As a 59 year old white American male, I look forward to Texas becoming a blue state in the next 10 to 20 years. I hope to be around when it happens. GoBama.

7. Where McCain Ran Ahead of Bush In 2004
Was an interesting map to look at. Almost without exception it was red-neck alley, basically a band that went from West Virginia out through Oklahoma. The problem for the Republican Party is how do they expand beyond the red-necks? Not Romney nor Palin, that much is sure.

4. thanks for posting this
I put the quote in a post yesterday, but video is so much better.

Anyone who has the time or money to help out with the run off can either download names to call to GOTV from the Obama website or donate a few bucks to

Chambliss has done and said worse. hard to believe, I know. One of the latest is a quote from around 911 when he quipped that the best way to secure GA would be to arrest every muslim who crossed the border into GA. Yeah, he's got brains and talent, too.

There are tons of letters from desperate Republicans in our papers in GA urging people to overlook his assholeness and vote for him to "preserve our precious Republican values and save them from the Obama onslaught". That outta bring in the votes.

I'm not holding out much hope for this Diebold vote flipping PURGED voters to the tune of 200,000 state. But I'm still going to give it my all. What else can we do?

6. High % of minority votes, i.e., we didn't tilt the machines quite enough this time.
Edited on Sun Nov-30-08 07:46 PM by Stevepol
We'll take that into account in the run-off.
