Georgia and the Voters

all those Georgia Voters removed from the rolls? Not so fast:

Georgians whose eligibility to vote has been questioned must be allowed to cast a ballot in the Nov. 4 election, a panel of federal judges ruled Monday.

The court also ordered Secretary of State Karen Handel to “make diligent and immediate efforts to notify, in a uniform manner, every person whose voter registration presently remains flagged.” Those voters must be told that they can vote by a “challenged ballot,” if necessary, and that there is a discrepancy in their registration information, the court said. Challenge ballots are typically cast on paper and are set aside and not counted until the discrepancy is cleared up.

While it doesn’t give a total victory for the Democrats, it at least gives those voters a chance to vote and in a close race, they would be counted.

One week till Election

Let me see if I can sort things with the polls:

Obama is currently leading in every Northeastern States and should win MA, CT, ME, RI, and VT (New Hampshire is the only possible questionmark) 30 EV for Obama, 4 to Tossup

The Mid :NY, NJ, DE, MD and Washington DC all should go Obama as well for 61 EV for Obama

Southeast Coast: This year, only SC is safe for McCain 8 EV, Virginia is leaning Obama for 13 EV and GA, NC, and FL are tossups 57 EV to tossup.

Gulf Coast: TX, LA, MS, and AL should all go McCain 58 EV

Mid South: Tn, KY, AR, OK, WV are all McCain 37 EV, with MO the Tossup 11 EV

Greatlakes Region: PA, OH, MI, IL, WI, MN, IA all should go Obama 116 EV, with IN in Tossup 11 EV

Prairie: KS, NB, and SD are all McCain 14 EV, with ND as a tossup 3 EV.

Southwest: NM, CO should all go Obama 14 EV, with NV Tossup 5 EV, and AZ for McCain 10 EV

Mountain West: UT, WY, ID, and AK should all go to McCain 15 EV, with MT in tossup 3 EV

Pacific West: CA, WA, OR, HI all go Obama for 77 EV

Obama 311 EV, Tossup 94, 142 McCain

What states are most vulnerable to being picked off outside the tossup states? we’ll chew on that one for a bit.

Ann Althouse

I can’t make up my mind if I like what she writes or I hate it… but she certainly nailed it on this one:

Did you watch? To me, McCain sounds exhausted or sick. Maybe he has a sore throat. He let out an immense sigh when he was in the middle of talking about Colin Powell . At one point, he misspoke and said, emphatically, “We’ve got to get government spending out of control.” (He immediately corrected himself, but still…)

Whenever he found the chance, he would stress that Barack Obama has a far-left ideology, and whenever he needed a different argument — such as when Brokaw confronted him with his own statements in favor of making the rich pay more taxes — he would resort to the argument that different times require different solutions. How can you use these two rhetorical strategies alternately? It’s incoherent.

Althouse is one of those really conservative bloggers that coming out for Obama would be like, Jesse Jackson supporting Reagan or something… it’s kinda surreal. but it makes me re-examine my thought processes and her blog.

Yep, Wanted for Treason:

Do the Republicans understand just what sort of fire they’re playing with? Sadly, I think they do.

Liberals hate Real Americans

So, not only are Liberals not Real Americans, Liberals Hate Real Americans

“Liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in God.”

Of course, they’re desperately denying what Republican Rep. Robin Hayes actually said. I suppose somewhere deep down in their hate, they realize they’ve gone too far. But really, I think it’s just a reflexive action to try and keep a few independent voters fool into voting for the small tent Republicans.

UnAmerican?

The Republicans would have you believe He wasn’t a Real American because of his Faith.

America’s Youth and The Democrats

I’d submit that the Democrat party has become the party of morality for the Youth. With the increased interest and awareness in a self-sustaining culture, with declining teenage birthrates and abortion, and an increased willingness to work in the community, I suggest that the Youth of today is more invested in their future because of the excesses of the 80’s, 90’s and the beginning of the 21st century.

The big issues aren’t going to be who’s sleeping with whom, it’s the stupidly large Government debt. It’s not going to be a man marrying another Man, It’s how are we going to keep the environment from being utterly ruined in the next 10 years. The issues won’t be the typical conventional morals that the previous generations have fretted and considered *the* issues. The Youth of today is a hybrid of Green-Libertarians and I think it’s a fantastically good thing.

With the Republican Party too busy trying to fight the fight of the last generation and letting their dialogue become hate-filled and divisive, I suspect it’ll be a long time before the republicans will recover, if they survive as a party at all.
