They said Obama won 91% of the black vote in PA. Although, in the interest of full disclosure John Kerry won 88% of the black vote. So it isn't really that they voted for him because he is black. It probably has more to do with Republicans not having much of a platform that appeals to blacks and not ever giving them much reason to vote Republican.

Are you sure they weren't saying Maine has 3 Electoral votes??

I think it has 5, but it also does split them unlike most other states.

Yeah, and even still there's a HUGE difference between the possibility of believing in Marxism or Socialism and WIPING OUT AN ENTIRE RELIGION/ETHNICITY!!!

It's horrible to think this douchebag actually made the analogy to Hitler. Between the lead singer of WASP & Scott Weiland throwing his $.02 cents in the other day, it's like a who's who of musicians irrellevant political views.

I'm sure there are people looking at him to be "their President" thinking he'll provide them with better jobs, housing etc.. but the way I look at it, is those are the people who are going to be left behind & disappointed in the end. Let's face it, alot of people on welfare don't qualify for some of these tax credits like college tuition or childcare or whatever. Yes, people are on welfare, but they arent' already. And even for those low income people who are maybe lazy & expect an improvement.... it's not coming to them. They'll still have to strive for it. A $500 dollar tax credit isn't going to get them very far in life.

I don't agree with all of Obama's policies, but I think the country needs a new change from someone who isn't the same old. And I also think John McCain isn't the person for right now with a bad economy & a war we're trying to end, not continue. Obama has brought out interesting facts we never heard, such as Iraq having a $70 billion dollar surplus!? I just find it interesting how Bush, Cheney or McCain never mentioned that part before. Kinda changes things doesn't it. I've also said this before but I think new energies (wind, solar etc) have the potential to explode over the next 10 years. And the stock market could boom as a result. I'm thinking of going onto etrade & investing some money into a vareity of companies, because I saw some are down to about $3 down from their previous high of about $50. Now's the time to buy. I just never used etrade before but am thinking about registering.

In the end, we'll know in 48 hours who the next President is. Obama never "closed the deal" or put the nail in the coffin so to say, but he has a sizable lead. We'll see. Nobody knows for sure who's plan will or won't work either.

Just curious, why is reversing the Patriot Act such a horrible idea??
