According to her, Obama is a Muslim who is only pretending to be Christian, and he has actually referred to himself many times as a Messiah. She cites her sources as Hannity and O'Reilly, so I suggested she go to Snopes and check it out for herself. I then suggested that she discontinue that line of 'conversation', or I would could not guarantee the outcome of her service- and I meant it. I was soooo incredibly pissed, and that is the second time this has happened in a week. Last Friday, it was another retired Repub who was railing against the socialized medicine she was just sure Obama was going to foist on us all. (I had also warned her I didn't want to talk politics, but she ignored me). So, I said I agreed with her completely; programs like Medicare were impoverishing doctors and health facilities, and old people needed to suck it up and purchase insurance like the rest of us. That shut her up quickly- she's on Medicare, and I don't think it even occurred to her that it was a social plan.

www.maps.google.com/vote

Is that supposed to have some information on the map? All I'm seeing is the standard map of the United States. No highlighted points of interest (at the national level or zoomed in local).

Right now, if you give it a location, it gives voter registration info in the left bar. Once polling place info is available I assume it will be shown on the map.

It's not an uberuseful site, but it is the site pointed to in the video.
