A friend sent me the following interesting idea about bringing this divided nation together after this divisive election cycle:
There is less than one week until the election, an election that will decide the next President of the United States. The person elected will be the president of “all” Americans, not just Democrats or Republicans.
It’s time [...]

Wow. I worried about Barack Obama taking two days from the end of the campaign to go to see his tutu in Hawaii. I was wrong. Obama is so energized now, he practically pulsates.
I had some time off last week and I used a couple of days to hang out at my local Obama [...]

Rasmussen’s latest count: Obama — 313 electoral votes, McCain — 174
Put Florida in the “Leans Obama” category!
At least Rasumussen — my favorite pollster because it’s so conservative that FOX News has a relationship with it — does.

If the election were decided by numbers of endorsements from newspaper dailies, Barack Obama would win in a landslide. Editor & Publisher counts 194 papers casting editorial votes for Obama, including, as Jon noted, the Anchorage Daily News, while only 82 make the case for McCain.
The Roswell Daily Record, read by 11,700 New Mexicans as [...]

The loser customarily makes a rousing speech at political conventions in support of the people’s selected candidate. In 2000, loser John McCain took the podium at the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia to rally his party in support of the man who would become his asshole buddy for the next eight years. What he said [...]

The endorsement from the Anchorage Daily News skewers John McCain, goes easier on Sarah Palin:
“[McCain] declared that ‘the fundamentals of our economy are strong’ at 9 a.m. one day and by 11 a.m. was describing an economy in crisis … His behavior in this crisis — erratic is a kind description — shows him to [...]

No one wins an election solely because they had the most money, but there is no doubt that proper funding is a great advantage.
