I've been looking at a bunch of Data for the election and I have found something interesting. It is my theory that Obama should be the rightful winner of Indiana and California. In California Obama won at the polls but due to early voting (when Clinton was way ahead) he lost the state. In Indiana Republicans causing mischief caused Obama to Loose. the GOP was 10% of the Voting Population and Clinton won 54-46. Had it not been for them causing mischief not only would the % of GOP in the Voting Pop be smaller, but Obama would have carried it. thus Clinton's 14,000 Vote Margin would have been about a 30,000 Vote Margin For Obama had the GOP not interfered. I Find this Interesting but pointless by now.

I have recently been reviewing the constitution and Supreme Court Cases. I think I have found something Big. The 2ed Amendment has today been reviewed and stands such that every person in the nation has the right to own a gun. It is My belief , siting the 14th Amendment's "equal Protection" Clause and Brown V. The Board of Education, that this interpretation of the 2ed Amendment is Unconstitutional.

Plessy V. Furgison has been overturned, which means the days of "separate but equal" are also over. a Law can be overturned on the clause that it is "Inherently unequal". Gun Violence Kills more people in the "Ghettos" (mostly Black neighborhoods) than in rich suburbs (Mostly white Neighborhoods). Therefor more African Americans and Hispanic Americans are Subject to Gun violence than white Americans. Poor people are more Subject to Gun Violence than Rich People. Therefor the Courts new view on the second Amendment is a flat contradiction of the Fourteenth Amendment.

I know many of you stand behind Harry Reid, but for 3 Years all we have seen from him is Spinelessness and inaction. He caved on Torture, He Caved on the Justice department, He caved on Mukasiee, He caved on Iraq Financing, He caved on Kyl-Leiberman, and He's about to cave on Telecom Immunity. Partially because of him our Fourth and Eighth amendment rights have been desolated. he is not a liberal champion he is a squid. in 2009 we need him out of party leadership in the senate.

I suggest Russ Feingold to fill his spot. Russ Fiengold was the only senator to vote against the Patriot act, He had the Judgment not to lead us into war, he voted against the military commissions act, he has been the senate's most vocal critic of Bush and his raid on the constitution, and he is planning on a filibuster to protect our fourth amendment. That is the leadership we need in the Democratic Party.

Russ Fiengold for Majority leader 2009.
I think what Obama said in 2006 and is now being attacked for by James Dobson is right. In the Buddha's last speech he said wise men should not argue about problems that can't be solved. I consider my self a Buddhist Ignostic (Ignostic with an I not an A there is a big difference) and I think all of the five major Religions have good intentions but at the same time divide us. the first amendment assures that all people have the right to choose their own faith. we are not a Christian nation, and if we become a Christian nation America will loose all of it's greatness (not because of Christianity but because of the First Amendment). I think I speak for all Buddhist, Hindus, Muslims and People of the Jewish faith when I say that in the passed seven years this country has Taken steps that dance on the line of Infringing our first Amendment right. Gay rights, Creationism and Abortion are issues that are argued mostly from a standpoint based on religion. If we outlaw those (which we have taken steps toward doing) we will no longer be a secular nation, we will be a Christian Idealocracy. we need to preserve Americas greatness by getting religion out of politics.
I have just rated and Predicted the Presidential election and Ran Down 5 swing States. My findings are here
Yesterday I had my first $5 a gallon sighting. It was at a shell in Garden Grove and was for Diesel #2. The Regular was something like $4.70. Just a few weeks ago Prices here were only starting to flirt with $4. What drove prices up nearly $0.80 a gallon? It was Israel.

Two major officials from Israel have said something to the effect of "war with Iran is inevitable". in Order for Israel to go to war with Iran the US would have to approve it. The US controls the Iraqi air space, and Israel needs to fly over Iraq to get to Iran. In effect if Israel goes to war with Iran so do we.

let's pray (and I'm not even monotheistic) that this does not happen within the next 7 months. George Bush would gladly Approve of it and try to add us to the equation. We could loose another 10,000 if we go to war with Iran. If Israel Tries to go to war with Iran between now and January, god help us all (once again I'm not even Monotheistic).

This is among the most Important issues facing the 2008 race. McCain would go to war with Iran !!! If Lieberman is his VP and they win, there is no doubt in my mind that we would be at war with Iran within the first 6 months of the new administration. McCain has already joked about it in a manor most disgusting and unspeakable. He has nearly said as much as "we will go to war with Iran".

Obama has said he will meet with Mamud Amack Nadinijad, and treat war as a last resort. He Opposed the first wrong war and will oppose the second. He voted against the Kyl-Lieberman Amendment. We can Trust him on this.

So to anyone considering voting for McCain, Do you want another 10,000 dead in a war that should have never been?
I made Estimates a while ago on what Bob Barr would need to get to help Obama in the south. these numbers are in flux so here they are as of today. In parentheses is the percentage he is getting right now. (*-Obama is in the Lead):
AL- 23% (6%)
AR-17% (8%)
FL*-1% (N/A)
GA- 7% (6%)
IN*-1% (N/A)
KY-12% (N/A)
LA- 9% (3%)
MS- 9% (3%)
MO*-1% (N/A)
NC+- 6% (4%)
OK- Denied Ballot Access
SC- 6% (N/A)
TN- 16% (N/A)
TX- 13% (N/A)
VA*- 1% (N/A)
WV- 21% (13%
+-in my Estimation Obama is Taking North Carolina, But no polls indicate that yet.
Watch these Numbers.
I have just Rated the 2008 Governors Races. The Democrats have a large Advantage. We would need to loose 4 Seats to get under 25 (which only means something on paper), Right now only two are at risk. We are likely to Pick up 1 and another 1 leans Republican, but it's early yet. Here are my Ratings.
It is very likely that the FISA bill will pass in the senate as it did in the house. This is a clear attempt on desolation of the Fourth amendment and thus an attempt on desolation of our bill of rights. the supreme court has the power to overturn this as well as the Military Commissions act which infringed the eighth amendment rights of Prisoners not on US soil. Your decision to stand by the bill of rights by voting to make Guantanimo prisoners able to sue was inspiring. I ask you to stand by the bill of rights once more by voting that this FISA bill is unconstitutional. You have the supreme court. it is a 4-4 split and you are the swing. please Protect my Bill of Rights by voting that this bill infringes our Fourth Amendment rights.

Obama refused Public financing today. McCain was quick to respond saying he went back on his word. McCain implies that Obama vowed to take Public financing. that is not the case and never has been. Obama has kept up a stance that he would negotiate with the GOP candidate to come up with a reasonable way of publicly financing the two Campaigns. May I also point out that McCain took Public financing, opted out of it (probably breaking a few laws) and only today said he is considering going back to it. Don't let the GOP getaway with this crap in 2008.
There is are a few of us (lead by True Blue) on this blog who think Obama can't win. a lot of these people are the same people who thought Hillary was inevitable and thought she was winning well into the season (till about 5/6).

My question for them is "why do you think Obama can't win?". if any one can provide statistical data that points to Obama loosing please post it and I may post that data in my blog.

Every thing that I have seen from Polling data to Raw Primary votes to Bush Approval to the money race points to Obama leading by a comfortable margin in the worst case scenario.
Please use this post as a forum to talk among our selves. I know this may be out of the blue but please voice your opinions and concerns. I ask that no censorship or hate speech take place on this post.

What is the topic? the Candidates in 2008

I'll start: I challenge McCain Supporters or undecideds to come up with 5 reasons to not support Obama.

Any one on this blog is welcome. if your a troll or a genus a democrat or a republican (or any thing else) feel free to take part in this forum
#1 after viewing new polls I now predict Obama will win Florida and North Carolina

#2 My new electoral Count is Obama 375 McCain 163 Officially making my prediction a land slide

#3 My Popular vote Prediction is now Obama 53% McCain 45% Barr 2%.
a ABC/Washington Post poll was just released which shows an Obama 6 point lead. the Elecotoral-Vote.com electoral vote count is Obama 317 McCain 221. My count is Obama 333 McCain 205. Obama is at this moment favored to win the 2008 election.

Some people think Obama is getting a jump because he has just won the nomination. I do not think that is the case. I think Hillary supporters have begun to admit that Obama is better than McCain. expect his numbers to grow.

after doing some research I have concluded that polls, Particularly in the south, are statistically slanted tward McCain.
Why is this? 1) Many southerners may not admit to voting for a black man 2) Obama has changed the electorate so much that the samples that polls are using. Obama was highly under represented in the south by many polls, and misrepresented by large numbers on supper Tuesday.

Just how bad is the slant? In Iowa and Colorado Obama got more votes than all the republicans Combined. In Georgia and Missouri he got more votes than McCain and Huckabee Combined. In Ohio he got about as many votes as all Republicans on the ballot while loosing the state. these numbers don't even include Clinton supporters that will gladly vote for Obama or even those that will hesitantly. We could be in for a big win.
I have just signed up to campaign for Obama. I decided to wait till he won the nomination to volunteer. this is my 4th campaign. the Previous three have been congressional. I got high up in the Mathews '07 campaign in CA-37th's special election, I worked as a fund raiser and consultant. My Ideal position is Strategist, but that could be unrealistic.

I Passionately support Barack Obama, and I ask you to join me in helping his campaign.not since Robert Kennedy has the US seen such an inspirational leader. I will look back at this in years and say "I am proud of helping the Movement".

Barack Obama 2008

 By the way my hart goes out to the friends and family of Tim Russert.

I think this quote illustrates me in many ways and I think all good people can identify with it. I also think this quote illustrates this election and the way the world functions in general. It was in Love Song of J. Alfred Prufftock by TS Elliot which is one of my favorite poems. "I am no great Prophet and here is no great matter/ I've seen my moment of greatness flicker / I've seen the eternal footman hold my coat and snicker/ and in short I was afraid" Enjoy.
