While I don't totally trust most of the MSM...
there is an interesting electoral map on CNN's web site. Here's the url:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/10/map.explainer/index.html#cnnSTCOther1

Looking at this map just brings all my current fears about upcoming the election into focus. What should have been a slam dunk for the Democratic Party, not looks completely uncertain thanks to the negativity, the back-biting and their ridiculous need to make political history.

I fear for all our futures because of this.

4. Some of the most important discussions we can engage in
are those about the media:

what entities own all of the major media corporations;

what is the slant and influence that is pushed by the media and why;

how important it is to remind people that the straight and complete story is no longer provided by the media. Real and honest journalism is not supported by the major media corporations.

I'm just learning that this is the case more than I ever thought before. Please add to my list.

5. When the Dem Party Chairman in Virginia endorsed JRE
It was because he was the most electible and this wasn't the YEAR to be historic. Racism and Sexism is still America's silent enemy and the party would divide. He was right :(

All my GOP relatives supported John, now they're either apatheic for this election or voting for Mc.

It's a damn shame.
