What an unusual graph Mr. Big. It seems that under every dem adm. the revinue went up and the spending down. I've heard about this and even have seen a chart similar to this one. It must be all the RT wing chatter aka bull ***** about Rep's being better for the economy. I started to believe it to a small degree. The problem is they have everyone believing it BIG TIME.

BREAKING NEWS! Landslide in Dixieville Notch NH for Obama!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dixville Notch has spoken: It's Obama in a landslide

DIXVILLE NOTCH, New Hampshire (CNN) -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama emerged victorious in the first election returns of the 2008 presidential race, winning 15 of 21 votes cast in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire.


Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, is the first in the nation to vote in the primaries and Election Day.

People in the isolated village in New Hampshire's northeast corner voted just after midnight Tuesday.

It was the first time since 1968 that the village leaned Democratic in an election.

Obama's rival, Republican John McCain, won 6 votes.

A full 100 percent of registered voters in the village cast ballots. And the votes didn't take long to tally.

The town, home to around 75 residents, has opened its polls shortly after midnight each election day since 1960, drawing national media attention for being the first place in the country to make its presidential preferences known.

However, since 1996, another small New Hampshire town -- Hart's Location -- reinstated its practice from the 1940s and also began opening its polls at midnight.

The result in Dixville Notch is hardly a reliable bellwether for the eventual winner of the White House or even the result statewide.

Though New Hampshire is a perennial swing state, Dixville Notch -- until now -- had consistently leaned Republican. The last Democrat it picked was Hubert Humphrey over Richard Nixon in 1968.

President Bush won the town in a landslide in the last two elections: He captured 73 percent of the vote in 2004 (19 residents picked Bush while six preferred Sen. John Kerry), and secured 80 percent of the vote in 2000 (21 votes for Bush, five votes for Al Gore.)

But villagers expected the results to be close this year given Democrats now outnumber Republicans there.

The town picked both John McCain and Barack Obama for the New Hampshire Democratic and Republican primaries in January. McCain ultimately won the state of New Hampshire, while Sen. Hillary Clinton upset Obama there.

Yep, the Dems always find the nice places the Repubs build up, then go and destroy them.

Whose idea was it to give voting rights to every warm body that ACORN can scoop out of the gutters?? And quite a few cold bodies in the ground, too.




Bad, bad idea.

First of all, Obama is a capitalist, i.e., he believes in a capitalist model of economics so he'll protect incentive for the wealthy, though not to the degree McCain would. Secondly, he's more religious than many Democrats -- he went to Catholic school as a boy and has attended the same church for 20 years. Third, he's not friends with terrorists -- his links to Khalidi are no greater than those of McCain, and his links to Ayers were in the context of public education on a committee that included Republicans and others. Fourth, he has built a broad-based coalition to which he must answer.

I think we can expect the following: The Democrats will move quickly with Obama's tax plan because we need the extra money to deal with the economic crisis; they will end the war as quickly as reasonably possible and engage in a major diplomatic push in all the troubled regions we're involved in; they will institute some form of national health care because it's seen as a major economic obstacle and the window of opportunity to implement something like that will be two years (because of the the danger of the next Congress); they will create tax laws and earmarks to promote the development of alternative energy.

As important as anything, he has inspired many people here and around the world, and will use that political capital to effect change, so whether you like him or not, he'll be able to get things done. He will also, I think, nurture the continued involvement of his base, especially young people, in American politics in the hope of laying the ground work for an extended period of Democratic rule.

But, first he has to win, and I'm never one to trust polls or predict the outcome of an election. I'll tell you this, if he loses and the exit polls show he should have won, we're in for a bad time because many Obama supporters may want to fight to save our democracy.

Some of what you say sounds OK.

I have listened to several economist say that the worst thing that can happen is that taxes be rainsed on anyone during a recession.

Your last paragraph is very troubling. The elections in the US are not perfect but they are as fair as any in the world withour size population. The political hacks and the extremist groups are the ones who attempt to distort the election results.

They should all be thrown in jail if they attempt it regardless of party. But, the parties will protect them if they are doing it on behalf of there candidate. Once you start throwing these people in jail, it will stop.

Everyone legally eligible to vote should be able to vote once if they want to. Those who are not should not be able to.

How can you be right when you are wrong many times?

1-He is not a capitalist. You will see it.
2-He went to 'Muslum' school.
3- Inspired other people to do what?

I caught just the tail end of an interview last night with an election guru (I will try to find out the person's name, it was on MSNBC). He said relying on exit polls was a waste of time, that in today's climate they do not give an accurate analogy.
The second statement from another source, was talking about Canada's elections. Canada uses paper and a #2 pencil, no computers. The country is spread out more then any other and they are still able to have results one hour after the polls close.
I don't know the accuracy of both of these statements, but I tend to agree with both, and think that the U.S. should go the Canada route.

I talked to my neighbor last night and I asked her if she was ready for a real change and she told me that she was scared and i told her that Obama was not her man and she laughed.

"....why would I care"

I did not personally know one person who died on 9/11.

I did not know Charlton Heston or Jesse Helms or George Wallace.

My heart still went out to each and every one of them, as it did for the folks who died in Katrina, the Asian Tsunami, Chinese earthquake, etc.

It's a human thing........
