			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s Monday and the election is tomorrow. I still need to review all the amendments on the ballot and the candidates for the other races. I&#8217;m finding that getting information on amendments is a little tricky and requires some more digging.</p>
<p>I wanted to note that in terms of McCain and Obama representatives that solicit for your vote, I&#8217;ve gotten the following results:</p>
<p>Obama:</p>
<ul>
<li>1 person who has come up to me personally asking for my support of Obama. This was an Obama volunteer.</li>
<li>1 door hanger left on my door.</li>
<li>4 phone calls for Obama, one from George Lopez.</li>
<li>No emails.</li>
</ul>
<p>McCain:</p>
<ul>
<li>No one has come to my house. No one has called. No emails about it.</li>
</ul>
<p>Palin for 2012:</p>
<ul>
<li>No one has come to my house. No one has called. No emails about it. She may be waiting for after Tuesday to start.</li>
</ul>
<p>FYI, I registered independent. I did the true maverick move. Here&#8217;s why. I&#8217;m not too crazy about either party, but I tend to lean more towards the Democratic side. I tend to find Republicans cater more towards corporate greed and Democratics don&#8217;t have enough of a push to get things done at times. I prefer the avenue of &#8220;the best person for the job, no party bias&#8221;.</p>
<p>Getting this many Obama responses from the campaign, especially for my neighbor is not all that surprising. I live in a highly populated minority area, that&#8217;s low to middle class. The more surprising part is that lack of McCain representation. I&#8217;m not seeing it&#8230; at all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just came across this news article through news.google.com titled <a title="&quot;Edwards' Cover-up Cost Clinton the Nomination&quot;" href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=5553013&amp;page=1">&#8220;Edwards&#8217; Cover-up Cost Clinton the Nomination&#8221;</a>. The article talks about what one of Clinton&#8217;s aides feels was a deciding factor in Clinton not receiving the nomination, that Edwards didn&#8217;t come clean in time about his extramartial affair. Well shit, you got beat by someone who hid a lie, during a time he was trying to campaign. He did something that Clinton&#8217;s own husband did, lied about an extramartial affair.</p>
<p>How about the fact that Clinton didn&#8217;t convince enough voters that she was the right choice for the nomination.  I think that&#8217;s the issue. Clinton has been planning for this candidacy ever since she left the White House in 2000. Someone doesn&#8217;t just up and move to NY, to then try and become a senator for &#8220;shits n giggles&#8221;. Your home base is Arkansas, why didn&#8217;t you go back there, and be a senator for that state, if you the voters would pick you. Because you tried to make the best moves to get back into the White House, by gaining a broader fan base.</p>
<p>I knew this was Clinton&#8217;s strategy from day one, despite all the denials. Now, one of your aides wants to complain about hiding a secret, and your aide wants to use that as another excuse for you losing. Please, stop the insanity.</p>
