And speaking of Mr. Powell...

It's worth a click just to see the picture at the top.

Oh hells yes that would be a boost. Lots of people really like Colin Powell and respect him.

Of course some will spin it off as a racial thing, but Colin's a smart guy and I don't think that's what he'd base his decision on. (besides, he got royally screwed by the Bush admin., that's reason enough, LOL)

Hmm.
I liked that. Great message.
At the same time, it kinda creeped me out.

There are some numbers trickling in on early voting in states that allow such data to be collected.

In some key states, Obama is showing very large leads among early voters :

.-----------Poll --- % Voted ---------------------- Non-Early
State ---- Date ---- Early ----- Early Voters ------ Likely Voters
================================================== ==
NM ----- 10/13 ---- 10% ----- Obama +23% ----- Obama +6%
OH ------ 10/13 ---- 12% ----- Obama +18% ----- Obama +4%
GA ------ 10/12 ---- 18% ----- Obama +6% ------ McCain +11%
IA ------- 10/9 ----- 14% ----- Obama +34% ----- Obama +10%
NC -------10/6 ----- 5% ------ Obama +34% ----- McCain +5%

Not that one would expect that huge difference between general polling of likely voters and these early voters to hold up come November. But it does seem to be an early indication that Obama is winning the voter turnout game among his base.

And, as a comparison point, Bush had more than 60% of the early vote over both Gore and Kerry, so this appears to be a switch in early voter pattern, from a party perspective.

Wow....I'm so surprised. The Sercet sevice can't seem to find any evidence that it actually happened.. I'm so shocked a newspaper published a story that con't be confirmed by anyone.

Yes, it's intolerant of women ... I assume there's no debate about whether they are alive.

War is intolerant of, ya know, humans.

Sometimes you really are a puzzlement, Leo.

Honestly, that puzzles me, ISM.

Of course the ENTIRE abortion debate is about whether or not the unborn is alive or not.

War is sometimes a necessary evil. You may regard the Iraq war as an intolerant one, which would be an issue for discussion, but while all war is unfortunate, not all is unnecessary (on one side at least).

Honestly, that puzzles me, scaeagles.

Of course the ENTIRE war debate is about whether or not the enemy is worthy of killing or not.
