    It is a worry. Let's hope the Secret Service are on the ball, because I'd imagine it's a genuine risk. There are some very stupid people out there.

    Because of an obvious parallel, it brings up something I only noticed recently (for some reason bizarre reason): this guy is JFK without the hair. He's a rock star.

    Other Polls.

    The Norm Coleman - Al Franken - Dean Barkley Senate contest in Minnesota has gone to a recount. ( Don't no if results are instant or not).

    CNN results ( may be slow to load)
    http://edition.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008...vidual/#mapSMN

    Al Franken webpage
    http://blog.alfranken.com/2008/11/05...om-al-franken/

    Some blog or other (maybe long article, stopped reading after one page.)
    http://www.citypages.com/2008-10-22/...own-and-dirty/

    The strong running third placed candidate, Dean Barkley
    http://edition.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/bios/#59679
    is considered socially (philosophy) Social Democrat but fiscally conservative.
    he is believed to be capable of taking votes equally off both candidates.
    (Another blog last Oct.)
    http://butasforme.com/2008/10/18/pic...rkleys-voters/

    But I heard last on CNN that only if Barkley reached 15%, would it start eating into Franken's vote.
    (Is the recount over yet?)

    According to the GOP prior to the election, Sarah Palin was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Well, with the help of Fox News, they have found their scapegoat.


    Some of the words used in the video...Diva, Temper tantrums, doesn't know Africa is a continent, doesn't know how many countries are in North America.

    Rats eating each other comes to mind.

    60% think palin not Qualified to be President if Necessary
    http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/res...s/#val=USP00p6
    Was McCain's choice of Sarah Palin a factor in your decision?
    60% said yes. Of those 43% voted Obama, 56% voted for McCain

    Although interestingly, 7% of voters in the poll said that McCain's choice of Sarah Palin was the most important factor in their choice of candidate. 52% went for Obama, 47% went for McCain.

    That's good. (Morgan Freeman has sat about three terms in the White House by now, hasn't he?)


    Dustin Hoffman IS Ron Paul. (Just ethnicity doesn't fit, producers may not be sold on it.)

    I've noticed aswell BBC and RTE using the term 'Black' alot while the US stations use African-American. That sort of stuff is important.

    Looneys can't get close to a man like that, if he is assassinated you can be sure it's something more sinister and deeper within the system. But you can be sure it's pinned on some looney, who in reality had no hope of pulling it off!!
    There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D

    Wind up phonecall to Sarah Palin. How did she fall for that?

    http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20081106/...y-3fd0ae9.html

    Any truth in this one? An awful embarassment if there is!

    Thank God for an intelligent person in the White House!

    Listen, we're talking about a person who cites the fact that she can see Russia from Alaska as part of her foreign policy credentials!

    Apparently Palin was the choice of the McCain team & not the candidate himself. They are clearly trying to regain some credibility so they can get jobs in politics again.

    Seems to be a good chance Palin could end up in the US Senate. Convicted fraudster Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska was re-elected but could be thrown out so Palin could take the empty seat.

    Just what is the accepted PC term these days?
    A lot of the commentators are using African/American (which, obviously, he is), but most vox-pop people are saying black (except for a few middle-class white (European/American?) people).

    Black is the correct term if they don't know the person's background. In Britain the media sometimes uses the term Afro-carribean. Obviously not all black people are African-American

    As Obama has an African father, and an American mother, I think its safe enough to call him an African American. (BTW I read an article a couple of years ago that called the actress Chalize Theron African-American)

    BTW very good south park last night on Obama winning they are very fast had his and Mcains speaches in it and the reactions of the supporters on either side is priceless pretty much sums up what i think of the whole thing.

    We all make mistakes. If you want to compare Palin to someone on her level, choose Bush.

    On the tiredness note, how do these guys do it? I'm reading Obama's second book at the moment and he was saying that during the Senate race he took 7 days off, with 12-16 hours days the rest of the time. The Presidential race would have been even worse, particularly in the last few days. I just couldn't do it. I think I'd die.

    Thinking that myself, but as bad it would be for Obama then with the age difference it must have been much tougher for McCain. I wonder if I can buy what they are on.
