One More Day, One Day More
Author: clintster
Date: 11/03/2008 13:36:37
Well, here we are, ladies and gentlemen; one more day until the most important election of this young century. It certainly seems like it’s been the longest campaign ever. After some 21 months of criss-crossing the country, over two dozen primary and presidential debates, 57 primaries and approximately 1 million broadcasting hours worth of campaign ads, it all comes down to us. You and me. Our friends, family and neighbors. Joe the Plumber. Jeremiah Wright. All of us get to cast our vote and shape America’s path for the next four to eight years.
With that in mind, I thought I’d throw some factoids everyone’s direction, so you’d have something to talk about as you wait in line at the polls, or even if you’ve already voted and are Biden your time until your McCainical difficulties are solved. This column may Palin comparison to others you may see regularly in this spot, but all I have to say to that is: Gobama!
The Clintster pre-election primer:
• If Barack Obama is elected, he will be the first President born off of the North American continent. John McCain would be the first President born in a U.S. territory that no longer exists (the Panama Canal Zone).
• Barack Obama would be the first Democrat from a Northern state to be elected since 1960.
• Barack could be the first Democrat elected with a majority in both the popular vote and the Electoral College since 1976.
• If Barack scores a landslide victory, it would be the first for a Democrat since 1964.
• If Barack takes Virginia and/or Indiana, he will be the first Democrat to do so since Lyndon Johnson
• Regardless of who wins, come January 20th, there will be no one named Bush or Clinton in the White House or Number One Observatory Circle. That hasn’t happened since Jimmy Carter left office.
• Oh, and there’s one more little factoid: Barack Obama would be the first person of African Heritage to be come President of the United States.
Before I end this, I just want to share this little story with you. When I first met the future Mrs. C, she and I talked about a number of subjects, as two people will when they are interested in one another and want to get to know one another a bit better. Inevitably the subject of politics came up. We talked about the 2000 election, and she made a startling confession to me.
“I didn’t vote”, she confessed.
I looked at her in shock and surprise. “What happened?” I asked, sure that the answer would have something to do with being kidnapped by ruthless pirates, shanghaied to… well, Shanghai, and forced to work in a sweatshop turning out counterfeit Bush-Cheney bumper stickers. If only it were that simple.
“I didn’t think it was that important”, she protested, “and I was trying to get my Master’s degree.”
I teased her for weeks afterwards for being responsible for Bush-Cheney, even though North Carolina was not in play that year. However we should all take note that NC and many other states are in play, and regardless of how crucial your state is to the national election, you should take the time and vote for the local candidates you see as fitting to your interests. A good house is only as solid as its foundation. Vote early, vote well, and enjoy the thrill of tomorrow.

Scroll down a bit to the "Comparison with 2004" section.
The tables below show the states John Kerry won in 2004 on the left and the states George Bush won in 2004 on the right. The states in both columns are listed in order of the Obama-McCain score based on the same algorithm as the map (i.e., the most recent week of polls). The states that are colored blue are the ones Obama now leads in; the red states are the ones McCain now leads in. As can be seen, Obama leads in all the Kerry states and some of the Bush states. He needs to pick up 17 electoral votes from the Bush states to tie and 18 to win.

Morning all! :coffee:
So I've gotta say.. McCain actually got one right for a change. On SNL he quipped how his sure-fire strategy for winning was the "Reverse Maverick".
Ain't it just crazy how truthful people can be when they're trying to be funny.

There was a wee story in the News Tribune this morning that Waltham and Newton (MA) are expecting 90% turnout tomorrow.
I sure hope the nice old ladies can deal with the strain....we're on optical scanners, there's a lot of little desks to fill out your cards, but just one machine to feed them all into at my precinct.

I've allowed myself to think just a little bit about Wednesday morning.
I wonder, perchance, if this is what it felt like on election eve, 1960? I'm going to have to talk to my mother about that...she cast her first ballot for Mr. Kennedy that year.
I know we're mostly young'uns here, but are there any elder bloggers among us that might have any memories of the Kennedy administration? Even as children?

Ah wow.. Les Mis is one of the two Broadway productions I've had the fortune to see in my life so far. Gotta love Honors-level band/orchestra class trips!
The other, in case you're wondering, was Phantom of The Opera. Both were so excellent, so don't ask me to pick a fave!

Anyone worried about PA. Just remember, doesn't matter how "tight" it gets. Obama is continually topping 50%. that's all he needs. if it's 51/49 that's +2 "tigntening" Obama still wins.

In addition to losing the Presidency, House, and possibly the Senate, I'm hoping that McCain is so damaged that he'll have to retire as Senator and we'll never have to hear from him again. (He's up for re-election in 2010.)

The New Republic reveals a lot more about that little scandal.
Sam Stein Over at HuffPo breaks it down quite nicely.
The New Republic published an explosive story Saturday evening detailing how John McCain, in all likelihood, leaked information to investigators of the Keating Five scandal that was designed to help his image at the expense of the other four Senators involved.
If the allegation is true -- and TNR makes a healthy case as to its veracity -- it would mean that McCain violated Senate rules and could have been expelled from that body.
"All five senators -- including McCain -- had testified under oath and under the U.S. penal code that the leaks did not come from their camps," Sahil Mahtani reports. "The leaks were also prohibited by rules of the Senate Ethics Committee; according to the rules of the Senate, anyone caught leaking such information could face expulsion from the body."

And does she know you can get a cheap (really cheap) TV for less than 20 bucks? I'm sorry, of course, because i spent 20 bucks on my tv, i'm irresponisble, and that's why i can't pay my thousands of dollars in medical debt.

COLOR Television? Does the woman know it'll cost more to get a black and white tv in this day an age than a color one.
And does she know you can get a cheap (really cheap) TV for less than 20 bucks? I'm sorry, of course, because i spent 20 bucks on my tv, i'm irresponisble, and that's why i can't pay my thousands of dollars in medical debt.

40 bucks you get back from the government? And even then, if your judge if someone is living in luxary is if they have 20 dollar TV, you don't know shit.
That's what pisses me off. THEY'VE GOT A TV! A tv can cost less than a decent meal. a TV isn't a sign of luxary. a flatscreen plasma, the size of your wall, TV is a sign of luxary.

Well, how do you like that? That's Pittsburgh International Airport. But plug in the address...that section of airport is right at the end of a runway, situated between a cargo facility and the US Air Force Base that's onsite.
So:
Pittsburgh Air Force Base
Uniform of the Day: Dress Blues
Order of the Day: Attend McCain Rally. Applaud loudly.

So Imus endorsed his buddy McCain.
The question is.. who gives a shit what Imus thinks? He's got even less pull among likely voters than McCain does.

Bastard! That's my airport! (IATA identifier: KTRI)
And it's so tiny, it's not in the AirNav database with Blountville...had to look for the next biggest locator, Kingsport...about 12 miles away.

Gentle 
back... make sure you keep taking those pain meds, so when the numbness wears off you don't feel too much pain.

Good morning, bloggers!!!
I hope that everyone is doing well.
On Saturday, I spent six and a half hours canvassing for Obama and local Democrats here in the Valley of the Sun. With a high in the 90s, let's say I got a very good work out. (I did not see a single McCain/Palin sign or sticker in the area I canvassed in - which was largely Hispanic. I guess the GOP is not very popular with several people in Arizona, especially when we have seen their stand on immigration and have Sheriff Joe "Round Up All Illegal Immigrants or Anyone Who Looks Like One" Arpaio in Maricopa County.)
By the way, here are the Daily Headlines which are still taking shape at this hour. (I did not do much yesterday on them as I was worn out still from Saturday and had other things to do.)
In some good news, I have a job interview for a FULL TIME 8th grade English teacher job tomorrow.
