		<description>I believe, firmly, that the media treatment of Joe the Plumber is the reason for the polls tightening.

Today, there&#039;s a story about how Obama abused the ethics law of Illinois by accepting money for speaking.  Now, alone, that&#039;s a small blip.  However, given the uproar over how Sarah let some people push to have her problem ex-brother-in-law fired, it&#039;s really not such a blip.  The media never found this out, although the information was in his tax returns.  

Yesterday, an immigrant who has a small construction business ended up in a debate after the McCain rally with.....Mother Jones.  His point was simple.  What are you doing going after Joe the Plumber when you can&#039;t even bother to find out the relationship between Obama and Ayers?

What kind of scary deal is THAT, he asked?  When a citizen can&#039;t ask a question without being hounded out of his livelihood?

That&#039;s the deal.

Pelosi, Reid, and most assuredly, Obama.....are planning on reinstituting one of the most failed laws ever:  The FAIRNESS DOCTRINE.

That will ensure that no political talk will be on the radio.  Liberal talk shows fail.  So they&#039;ll just use the power to shut down people.

It&#039;s a mistake.  That will lead to an even greater backlash.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Powell endorses BO and BO is loving it.  Didn&#039;t Powell make the case for the Iraq war before the UN?  I find this terribly ironic, I mean as the &quot;anit-war candidate&quot; shouldn&#039;t BO be running from this guy?&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

NC GOP lashes out at voting sites near Obama rally

By MIKE BAKER 
The Associated Press 

An excerpt:


Linda Daves, chairwoman of the state GOP, said while the party supports extra early voting capacity, the GOP opposes such a move when it is taken to accommodate people surrounding Obama&#039;s campaign.

&quot;Their action makes the voting process an extension of a partisan political rally and that is clearly inappropriate,&quot; Daves said.</description>

Democrats Have Edge In Fla. Registered Voters

POSTED: 10:03 pm EDT October 19, 2008

EXCERPT:

MIAMI, Fla. -- Florida Democrats now have a more than 600,000-person advantage in registered voters over Republicans, nearly double the gap between the two parties&#039; registered voters since the last presidential election.

Voter registration closed in Florida on Oct. 6, but the final numbers of voters eligible to cast a ballot in the November election were released Sunday.

Democrats held a lead in registered voters during the last presidential election in 2004, when Florida voters chose Republican President George W. Bush. Since then, however, Democrats have added more than two and a half times the number of new voters to the rolls than Republicans have. Democrats increased their numbers by approximately 461,000 registered voters while Republicans increased their registered voters by approximately 172,000.

Republicans now have 4,064,301 registered voters and Democrats have 4,722,076, according to the Florida Division of Elections, giving Democrats an edge of roughly 658,000 registered voters.

In 2004, the state had 3,892,492 registered Republicans and 4,261,249 registered Democrats, for a gap of 369,000.

Overall, Florida now has nearly 1 million more voters than four years ago. The total, including people not registered with any party, is now 11,247,634 registered voters, up from 10,301,290 in 2004.



I wonder how the Florida Dems will vote...</description>

		<description>NoBama:  I was at the rally today in Roswell,  When she stepped from the plane, the roaring of the crowd was deafening.  Sarah was great....she came off the plane carrying her baby.  Southeastern NM will go republican, it&#039;s the northern part of the state that will carry Obama.  GO McCAIN/PALIN!</description>

		<description>BILL MAYER SHOW ----

Bill had Rep. Sanders (I-VT) on Friday night... He says he is a Democratic Socialist.  Claims he follows the Scandinavian countries&#039; policies...  

RESULT -- Audience cheers wildly...

FACT:  Would Bill Mayer want to open up his property to people who want to camp on it in tents????

BILL????

That is what happens in Norway... BY LAW YOUR LAND CAN BE USED BY ANYBODY....

Want to set up a tent on your neighbors land in the country -- you can!!!

http://www.eksportnettverk.siriusmanagement.no/NordlandEnglish.htm

 Twelve percent of the land in the county is set aside as nature conservation areas, but backpacking and camping isn’t limited to park lands.  Hikers roaming Nordland’s countryside take advantage of Norway’s lack of “trespassing” laws - one may walk or camp on any land which is not cultivated.

SO BILL ---- SHOULD I BRING MY TENT TO YOUR HOUSE TOMORROW AND CAMP OUTSIDE???</description>

		<description>Air America -- some of them root for Osama Bin Laden.

So of course they don&#039;t think founding a group that killed 5 people (including police officers) and destroyed a couple building and a Brinks Truck (grand larceny), is a bad thing. 

The irony is that the caller was from Long Island -- lily white, rich Long Island.</description>

		<description>Aw, come on - I&#039;m sure a BIG PART of the reason Powell endorsed Obama is because he&#039;s still angry at Bush for sending him to the U.N. with false intel. 

Rumor had it Powell was enraged! 

I bet Powell would have endorsed any DEM candidate this year -- he&#039;s that pissed off at the GOP.</description>

		<description>TUMBY:

The public at large has kept Obama in the margin of error, poll-wise. He gains, he slips, he gains, he slips. This see-saw effect means people are still not sure.  

Admit it -- if Hillary was the candidate she&#039;d be 15 points ahead by now. 

The public at large is getting tired of having the &quot;Obama Phenomenon&quot; shoved down their throats by the Obama-worshipping media.

Thing is -- you think the Public At Large - or more specifically - LOYAL VOTERS in all parties are stupid. 

Wrong - only Obama&#039;s &quot;new voters&quot; have swallowed the koolaide. And I bet if the weather is bad they won&#039;t even show up to vote. 

PS: Kerry LOST with a wider poll lead than Obama has now.</description>

		<description>This afternoon I was listening to Air America for awhile just to hear what they were talking about.  One of the callers from Long Island said that Bill Ayers has been picked on and needs his reputation straightened out.  He felt that Bill Ayers has been mistreated. I&#039;m ashamed of the caller and shocked by his ignorance.

I agree with John Stossel.  Only people who have a clue should be allowed to vote.</description>
