		<description>IndyPUMA here!  It was amazing going to the polls this morning.  I got there about 5:45.  As I was driving along the curving road that leads to the school polls, I saw McCain/Palin signs!!  In legal distance from the polls.  Not one Obama sign!!!!!

This Democrat/PUMA proudly voted for McCain and put country first!  God Bless America!</description>

		<description>For comic relief on a tense afternoon, I have to say that I have frequented clothing-optional hot springs sites in the western states for 30 years, and can remember maybe three occasions when I saw someone who looked better with their clothes off.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve voted for Democrats for 36 years. Today I voted for John McCain and Sarah Palin. (BTW: I&#039;ve been lurking since the primaries).</description>

		<description>For the first time in my adult life I&#039;m proud to say that I voted straight Republican in the swing stata of PA... Now I&#039;m going to fill a change of registration form and register as unaffiliated.  Maybe I&#039;ll send copies to Ed Rendell and Bob Casey together with a picture of a PUMA!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a 61-year-old lifelong Democrat/Clintonista in SE OH.  I decided months ago that Obama must be stopped, and I decided that only McCain could do that.  I had cast only 2 votes for Repubs before today--one for governor several years ago and one for judge.  Today, I voted for two GOP-endorsed OH Supreme Court judges and a Repub for sheriff. If it weren&#039;t for Hillary, I would switch my party affiliation.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Larry stated sometime last month that the owner of the &quot;Whitey&quot; tape is now an Obama supporter who has refused to release the tape.





C&#039;mon - do you &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; need a &quot;Whitey&quot; tape to prove to you that Michelle Obama talks like that?  Even a person with limited brainpower such as yourself should be able to figure &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; out.  For God&#039;s sake - Michelle stated that she was proud of America for the first time in her life only this year!  Not to &lt;em&gt;even&lt;/em&gt; mention that hateful church the Obamas have worshipped in for the past 20 years!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>I&#039;m an Indy-Dem, that has usually always voted Dem along with my husband.  We were Hillary supporters in the primary.  I voted early last week for McCain/Palin and my husband, daughter, son-in-law and friends at work are voting McCain today.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I guess the election came down for me to who can defend the country (be commander in chief) and who can clean up Washington starting with pork barrel spending.&lt;/blockquote&gt;




Barack Obama fails miserably on both accounts.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s long but I think accurate. 

Elections are about people.  You can not just rely on cold numbers or party loyalty.

Man, this guy got it EXACTLY right.  PUMA, Conservative Democratic desertion, PA, the Palin effect, f-d up polling, Recharged Repulicans.  All of it.</description>

		<description>1. Larry Johnson put up &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/06/05/barack-punts-on-denial-of-michelle-tape/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; after &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/06/04/the-michelle-obama-diversion-2/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; after &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/06/02/michelle-obama-and-louis-farrakhan-take-on-whitey/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; after &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/05/26/why-i-believe-the-michelle-obama-tape-exists/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; after &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/05/17/who-wants-to-be-the-next-millionaire/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; (to name a few), as well &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=larry+johnson+michelle+obama+whitey&amp;btnG=Search+Blogs&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;hordes of bloggers&lt;/a&gt; who also put up posts about the supposed tape, all linking back to Larry Johnson and making him the source of the news. Not the tape, the news. Larry pushed this story front and center.

My reading comprehension skills are just fine, thank you, so I&#039;m very well aware that after pushing this story and claiming he had as many as 5 sources, several being high ranking Republicans, he also claimed that he never had the tape and never saw it.

2. My point is he claimed to have multiple sources who &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/05/26/why-i-believe-the-michelle-obama-tape-exists/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;according to him&lt;/a&gt;:
&lt;blockquote&gt;However, here is why I think the tape exists.

I have two friends. One is a Democrat and one is a Republican. One lives on the west coast and one lives on the east coast. They do not know each other. Yet each has spoken directly with someone who has seen the tape. In fact, I first heard about the tape from my east coast friend. I thought it was interesting but, without additional proof, not worth mentioning. Later that night I was chatting with a friend, who happens to be an Obama supporter, but is very well connected to the Washington political scene. That person told me he had heard the same thing. He also told me about a separate tape of Barack Obama during an overseas trip that also is in the hands of the McCain folks.

The clincher came when my buddy on the west coast wrote to me that he had a friend who had seen the tape. Given that there are two separate people, completely unconnected, giving the same report, I think it is reasonable to conclude that the tape exists. We shall see.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
So name the sources. His Democratic and Republican friends, who &lt;i&gt;Larry&lt;/i&gt; knows (personally, I assume) who told him that they in turn know people who have the tape and that&#039;s how &lt;i&gt;Larry&#039;s&lt;/i&gt; sources were able to tell him that they saw the tape.

After all, that&#039;s why Larry said he believed the tape existed, right? If I was Larry, I&#039;d bit a little bit embarrassed right now that my acquaintances who assured me they had seen the tapes weren&#039;t telling me the truth, thus making me the laughingstock of the internet.

If it were me and this huge game-changing bombshell turned out to be a complete farce and I was the one who was played a fool by posting about this rumoured tape again and again and again, sprouting spinoff blogs who also posted again and again and again about this tape that never materialized, I&#039;d be naming names, poste haste.

This is not a difficult thing to comprehend. 

1. Larry said he had multiple friends/sources who had seen the tape. 

2. Larry said he even believed the tape existed.

3. Larry was wrong.

4. Larry ought to name the sources and let them take the heat instead. If he can&#039;t deliver those names, than he bears the responsibility of pushing an unverified story as truth and should be held responsible as such.

Analyze that statement. It&#039;s not hard.</description>

		<description>sorry, just couldn&#039;t do it, but I&#039;m in NYC anyway.  I voted down ticket dem and left Pres blank.  My sister and I tried to covince each other to go McCain but we couldn&#039;t.  She&#039;s in NJ.  So my family, all dems except my sister&#039;s husband is always Republican.  3 Obama, 3 McCain, 2 No Presidential Vote. (so that is a loss of 4 life long democratic votes for Obama, it&#039;s something).</description>
