Please don't get discouraged by polls. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/09/poll-madness-mccain-takes_n_125158.html It looks like the samples where skewed. There where 6 Percent more republicans sampled in the latest CBS poll.
From the link:
Emory University political scientist Alan Abramowitz is highly skeptical of the new Gallup, USA Today and CBS polls. About the latter, which showed a statistically insignificant two point lead for McCain, Abramowitz said: "One reason for the dramatic difference between the two recent CBS polls is that the two samples differed fairly dramatically in terms of partisan composition. The first sample was 35.2% Democratic, 26.2 percent Republicans, and 38.6 percent independent. The second sample was 34.9% Democratic, 31.1% Republican, and 34.0% independent. That's a change from a 9 point Democratic advantage to a 3.8 point Democratic advantage. That alone would probably explain about half of the difference in candidate preferences between the two [CBS] polls."
Making up the numbers to support an exciting story by the media. This is not the only poll to do this.
The state by state results matter most. Let's keep registering, keep raiseing awareness, keep donating. We will surprise them with an Obama landslide.
Dear Friend,
I don't know about you, but I'm mad as hell. Last night, instead of offering real solutions to the many challenges we face, Republicans Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin spent their time mocking those who serve our communities. And tonight, John McCain's buddy Lindsay Graham continued the reprehensible attacks on Sen. Obama's patriotism even after Sen. Obama called on all Americans to remember that no matter which party we support, we all love America. And while giving lip service to bipartisanship, John McCain stood by while the national tragedy of 9/11 was exploited to score partisan points in that played before his speech. Donate $25 now to tell John McCain that the Asian American community has had enough!
When Asian Americans have been ignored by politicians and those in power, it has been the hard work and dedication of community organizers and activists like Sen. Obama that have given us a voice. Sen. Obama inspired me, an ordinary American, to start Asian Americans for Obama to fight for my community and my country. Sen. Obama's bottom-up movement has empowered Asian Americans to make our voices heard. Your small contribution will join a chorus of thousands of voices demanding change.
Make a donation now.
Together, Asian Americans can make a difference in this election. Let's go out there, and change the world! Sincerely Yours,Ramey KoFounderAsian Americans for Obama PS - With just 60 days left until the election, Asian Americans for Obama has launched a new, improved website to help us win this election!

We are again at Tank in Manhattan with Young Democrats to watch the acceptance speech. It was over capacity! There where there 150 people with only this afternoon 45 confirmed. It means that everybody must of brought several other with them. It is the essence of natural and compassionate leadership for people that care take people to places and things that are great that matter. I think I got 2 extra people there from Tuesday event. It builds energy, awareness, commitment and belief. It was as if we where sitting right under the stadium watching on the closed circuit TV. Leadership Barack did his job in this aspect. Clearly highlighted the issue. Created protection from the petty and tiny republican campaign mentality to create fear, scarcity and opposition. Instead of hope, unity and possibility! Let's get people registered in every state in the country. All in the US aspire to what Obama said tonight. All could stand with America and their fellows here and around the world and say we can do better. We can take care of each person in this world. Taking care of people creates much more value than trying to take care of dollars.
It not only got to us. It even got to Pat Buchanan amazing! He is saying this is the best speech at a convention ever! He has to be cut off for time. He is reading the text exaltant!

I would like some help organizing a voters registration and Obama campaign awareness event in Jersey City. I would like to couple it with a Tango for a little change of pace. I think it would attract many different types of potential voters. The ideal place I think would be the new little park on the pier at Exchange Place. Just one stop from the World Trade Center on the Path train. I think it is call Grundy Pier Park it has a stage a dance floor and a wonderful view of New York City. It would be a nice event in Sept . or even early October.
It involves getting a permit from the city though. It takes liablity insurance and a specfic date. Do you know an organization in Jersey City a gym or such that could sponsor it. I can find a DJ and a Tango teacher to teach both intermediate and beginner lessons. We could get a crowd from both New York City and Jersey City. I have not set up a voters registration so I will also need help setting this up. Advice? Help?
At long last it is now becoming obvious that Bush is finally accepting the position of the people of America in line with that of Sen. Obama.
History shall be the judge, for now let us continue to keep the faith and fight the good and just fight of making sure that this country changes its direction and start the process of reclamation, renovation and rejuvenation under Obama.
Americans may not want the country to be seen as doing nothing different from Georgia in South Ossettia or Russia in Georgia, period!God bless USAGod bless Obama
Officials: Deal calls for troop pullback in Iraq
By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA and ROBERT BURNS, Associated Press Writers 2 minutes ago
Iraqi and U.S. negotiators have completed a draft security agreement that would see American troops leave Iraqi cities as soon as June 30, Iraqi and American officials told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
In Washington, a senior military official said the deal is acceptable to the U.S. side, subject to formal approval by President Bush. It also requires final acceptance by Iraqi leaders, and some members of Iraq's Cabinet oppose some provisions.

Look At the end of the post, a day before Russia's Invasion calling them "Unfriendly", it's here down 3 posts, like this:
".....I place a prediction that Chavez is losing this referendum battle at present by 51% No, 49% Yes, and this may deteriorate even more if oil prices keep going lower as the military apparatus is big, secret numbers and ineficient officials with low intelligence that I can call them donkeys as all they do is buy weapons from unfriendly russia and none of them even invent a rifle, a bunch of low life worthless people in uniform which I believe will never stand a fierce battle".
..yes, I lost the prediction however there were rumors that some kind of fraud was committed and this technique is used even from the past right governments, they use a list of dead people and register them but there is a limit to it and it's rumored also this was used in venezuela in the last vote where the NO won by small margin so that is why the confidential internal polls of gov done before this november election where several governors posts are at stake and it shows them with a lesser than 50% approval so the NO vote even won by a wider margin, and this technique they tell each other cronies to use it, but a heavy opposition turn out can offset this unethical maneuver.
Well, let's start by telling Sen Obama to see how and what kind of nasty people the republicans are, Sen McCain was given Full coverage like acting like presidential by making him talk about the Russian invasion and NOBODY complained as of today, but look at recent past and see the way how they complained with their dirty money at YOU Sen Obama when you went to Europe and millions complained about you being made look presidential, see the kind of worthless people they are and they call us "mindless fans", well Sen Obama I bring YOU quality intelligence information that McCain ,who is in washington and support all Bush says including the 'Russia is a friend" phrase, and the rest of the mostly WASP worthless intelligence agents don't know, and this blog shows us how out of touch with reality they are when I am gonna show a blogger who in July 23, 2008 many weeks before Russia's Invasion is asking and putting to doubt that "Russia is a Friend" phrase, and this blog post from an independent blog (as criticism of America's racism is present there) also tells and ask why is Russia selling weapons to a criminal named Hugo Chavez who unknown to the intelligence community has tried to kill an innocent US Citizen in February 2004 when visiting relatives and when traveling to the Capital to return to US, if the US Embassy in Caracas has good telephone records THEY can see the distress call made at 6am to the US Marine who is 24/7 in that post and the Marine tells this person to call after 8am NOT helping him, then after telling the Marine that he appeared to be in danger and ONLY needed a taxi sent to go to the airport 1 hour away, because the Embassy phones sounded busy all the time after 8am and we now know that Hugo Chavez had been wiretapping all communications from overseas and to Embassies and the phone number from this house was cut off by the government and then the order to kill was sent even to these relatives who once one of them was mentioning to the US Citizen to go to Habana instead of Miami without no explanation and to the citizen's surprise, it is worth mentioning that this neighborghood was infested with so called cuban doctors and workers, and NOW you can see HOW McCAIN WANTS to get all credit for this Georgian crisis when he is all behind Bush failed policies and know nothing about what is happening, he is taking advantage of the situation to make him look good in National Security when they represent NONE and this blog is super evidence of this, additional I am gonna mention that Russia will be defiant as there is a president that has caused damage control to this country by invading Iraq and what comes from the mouth of the Communist Leaders is " American military is a paper tiger now when they could not put up with 30K insurgents in Iraq with 160K soldiers" and now you see the kind of National INSECURITY that has been exposed that is not reported by the worthless media and that is repeated by the America Haters and this blog is and will become heated from now on less than 60 days before election, because what YOU need to do Sen Obama is bring and rest those troops at home and then make them the majority in plainclothes and use intelligence as future wars will be won with intelligence and NOT soldiers in uniform and this is where McCain fails and NEVER will win any war as he doesn't have this idea/strategy and do not let him steal it and say this 1st as they call us "mindless fans" when YOU Sen Obama has super Intelligent people as supporters and I hope You see them, as all McCain thinks is use a plane to bomb civilian targets as the way to win wars and he will be dead wrong..so here is the blog it is in spanish but use Google to translate it or find a spanish-speaking person as I do not have time to translate now....
Here It is:

Thank you Sen. Clinton for defying all conventional and dogmatic mentality and instead propagating and orchestrating an entirely broadminded, tolerant and exceptionally objective campaign geared toward the candidacy of Sen. Obama.
Without doubt, those pessimists will be shock to their bone marrow at witnessing your game changing and absolutely nationalistic and patriotic sentiments in supporting Obama for the sake of posterity and the country’s well being.
In reality it is evident that Obama is the only one sincerely and articulately committed to changing the course of the nation domestically and also internationally in order to reposition the United States of America in a way that it can quickly and pragmatically realize the goal of leading the world in globalization of the campaign for peace, diplomacy, fight against terrorism and poverty.
Moreover the manifesto of Sen. Obama is completely different from the traditional style of his rival which rely almost exclusively on maintaining the status quo, enhancing the ideologies of the incumbent and aggressively pursuing the culture of deception, distortions and mediocrity, tailor toward confusing the American people, in the event where they cannot be convinced.
It is such a pleasure to see how daily Sen. Clinton has been available to the people of this country in orchestrating the good will message of Sen. Obama which are realistic and does not exhibit the elements that have become so manifest in Washington, namely the culture of loyalty to party rather than the country.
God bless USA
God bless Obama
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/09/AR2008080900347.html
In all humility and simplicity Sen. Obama has become an epitome of the man of the people, appealing to the diversity of Americans and manifesting the essentiality of tolerance, broadmindedness, transparency and patriotism.
This country is blessed with the abundance of leaders that abound and it is nice to know that Obama is an added personality to this awesome divine provision. This is the time for Americans to take up their responsibility of choosing the next commander in chief very seriously in order to avoid the mistake of the past.
God bless Obama.
Why is it that when McCain switches policies, it is considered statesmanship and when Sen.Obama revises his; it is Flip Flop.
Being able to examine, adapt & change stances on issues is a required trait for a politician whether inherent and acquired. A true leader is required to change the platform he stands on in the interest of the people he/she is serving. No policy matter should be personal as exhibited by George HW & son. since personal agendas tend to gravitate towards resorting to undesirable methods for implementation and execution such as fabrication, mis information, outright lies, intimidation and bullying.
Sen. Obama has made the correct choice in proposing to allow limited off-shore drilling to circumvent the present oil situation and I agree that it is not permanent solution. A comprehensive Energy policy has to implemented to include energy awareness, alternate sources, alter consumption patterns and independence from foreign oil.
I applaud Sen. Obama's revision to this policy, this denotes his ability to understand and empathize with the common people of his country.
So I am curious what people think about McCain claiming on CNN he knows how to capture and bring to justice Osama bin Laden. He may have just jumped the shark if the media or people address this.
The New Yorker described Barry Blitt's work as lampooning of "scare tactics and misinformation in the Presidential election to derail Barack Obama's campaign.""The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Senator Obama's right-wing critics have tried to create," Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said."But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree," Burton added.
I think the idea that the Obamas are branded as unpatriotic [let alone as terrorists] in certain sectors is preposterous. It seemed to me that depicting the concept would show it as the fear-mongering ridiculousness that it is.
I've invited bloggers to commit to writing one post per week about Obama for the next 10 weeks. This will take us through the convention in Denver. Our guidelines are simply that the posts are positive and honest. The movement is building: already 25+ bloggers signed up, so that's at least 250 posts over the next 10 weeks, and more folks sign on everyday!
Especially if you are already an active blogger, it doesn't take any extra effort. and your blog will probably get more traffic, since I'll be linking all the bloggers and promoting the event. If you're new to blogging, I can get you set up with you own blog in less than 5 minutes! so why not? Join Operation HOPE!
Please check out the event details and sign up if you're interested in blogging for Obama: http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/44hfj I am coordinating the bloggers (with links to all the active bloggers doing 10 posts in 10 weeks) on my "Crush on Obama" blog at: http://rubycrushonobama.blogspot.com Hope to see you in the blogosphere! -Ruby
Well, I have been postponing this prediction, but now is more than ever, due to this test Oil Prices will reach and surpass $150 per barrel before the end of summer..
I need to add something as Sen Obama seems to have new wrong advicers of nasty republicans spies are close to him to succumb to the pressure to give the telecoms, the rich few with no voting power, inmunitty, now the other half truth of the McClelland book will never be known as if the telecoms feared something it means there is dirtiness in there. I hope you reverse this when you get to be President..
Also, about the Iran test, something is wrong on the world, everybody provokes iranians and nobody says anything, now they test and they get threatened. Israel the most war loving country does whatever they do and nobody says NADA, something is wrong in this world , definitely the wrong leaders and McCain represents a high risk of WWIII with short-temperness bigger than Bush.....
I'm usually right about my political predictions! :-)
If things go reasonably well, Mr. Obama could win the biggest Democratic landslide since Johnson beat Goldwater. Obama has a reasonable chance of winning 32 or 33 states and 350 electoral votes.
You heard it here first.
Barack Obama and I are committed to changing the political process by building a campaign built on a broad base of support from ordinary Americans.
I've set my own personal fundraising goal for the campaign, which you can see in the thermometer to the right.
Will you make a donation to help me reach my goal?
Remember the future of your family and America are at stake, Sen McCain is a war-loving military hawk which none of the US enemies will ever talk to him. This is poised to present a very inflexible and dangerous foreign policy which has a high probability of starting a war with Iran which will be the beginning of War World III as Iran will respond by attacking Israel and the rest you already know what will be. WWIII will be the ruin for America and we and you do not want that and They are already starting with an obsession with Iran and even Bush administration figures like Condoleza Rice mentioned recently the word of WMD (imagine that) and just read the book of McClelland where he says half the truth of the selling of the Iraq War, 1000 lies were spewed to fool the US people to Invade Iraq and now you know the disastrous result...would you like another one like this?, well it's your time to bring a change and you can help and be part of this grassroot peaceful movement by donating whatever you can and be part of history and help me reach my goal to help Sen Barack Obama reach the white house. God Bless you.,<br>
