It’s time again for the US to elect a new and improved president. Someone we can all blame for the economy, the war and rising food and gas prices.
Unlike many polls floating around the mainstream media. One that would have Obama up with 58% and Mccain with 42 % . For anyone not familiar with The anatomy of opinion polls and the Gallup guys surveys here’s a brief overview.
1.) The poll creator decide the poll questions. Such as ppresidential pick.
2.) Randomly generated phone numbers of those likely to responde.
3.) Only 1000 adults are actually interview or asked the poll question. One Thousand that’s who decided the millions of peoples voteing preference this far.
4.) All responses are weighted to reflect the national demographics based on U.S Census. ( For those that actually do responde and do actually tell the truth and how anyhouse hold can have 2.5 kids per household is smomehting only the Census police can explain.)
5.) The poll editor interpret findings
6.) The results are than published
Over 100,000,000 people and only 1000 interviewed decides whose leading the polls.
As for the actual election and Electorial College voting system. Entire states award their entire electorial prize to whomever gets a majority of votes. Not the popular vote. To better understand why this system is flawed here’s an example.
Obama gets 5 Million popular votes in NJ and Mccain gets 2 million popular votes.
Winning NJ you get the entire prize of 110 electorial votes. Obama 110 Mcain 0
Now in pennsylvania Mccain gets 2.5 Million popular votes and Obama get’s 2 million popular votes. Senotor Mccain is awarded Pennsylvanias enitre lot of 210 electorial votes. Election over Mccain has 210 electorial points, Obama has just 110 electorial points. Mccain wins, BUT Obama actually has 7 Million votes and MCcain has just 4.5 million votes.
Is that fair?

Maybe he was confused but I swore I heard Senator Mccain say that he will change Washington and the greed and laziness and All for themselves in Washington need to change.
He kept saying if he were president he would do this, do that do things differently. He would fire SEC Chairman.
Did or did not President Bush supposedly revamp the SEC under his watch?
Is Senator Mccain saying that President Bush the man who endorsed him is not doing his job?
Is Senator Mccain implying that President Bush is do busy leading a war in Iraq and he would have more time? Is Senator Mccain admitting that Washington and the White House needs to be fixed? ‘
The world knows we do not need a President that plans on following in the footsteps of the one we have now.

I really am sorry I did not have my video camera nor am I that technologically needy that I need a cell phone that has one.
Today would of been a great day to have any of the two. While riding to work I saw the biggest idiot I have ever seen before driving on American highways.
At 630 am Today a red car just past me like I was standing still. A thhe next light one mile up a head we came side by side.
To my surprise I looked over again and again just making sure I was not imagining things when I saw a man in a nice tuxedo at the wheel and two kids no more than 8 or 10 fighting over the front seat not one was wearing a seat belt. Dad just smoked his cigar waiting for the light to turn green than at mach 1speed he was on his way neither kid nor himself was buckled in..
My first daily idiot award goes to this man in a red honda accord wearing a tuxedo and baring a governmnet tag on the car. The next time I’ll make sure to always carry a camera or video recorder.

I saw a very interesting idea on the GOP convention. It was a message to text 2 help one you send the text it confirms how much you want to donate to the American Redcross. I love this idea andd I know the website names have been registered be sure not to just goto the sites and donate.
Use the text 2 help method vis your cell phone thna confirm a donation.
I wonder why here in Oklahoma we never get national news coverage for our tornados.
