Deposit your election news, views, and boo-hoos here.I'll start off with some racist funny business out of Texas. Prairie View A&M ain't having it:
Early voting starts today in Texas. In Waller County, a primarily rural county about 60 miles outside Houston, the county made the decision to offer only one early voting location: at the County Courthouse in Hempstead, TX, the county seat. Prairie View A&M students organized to protest the decision, because they felt it hindered their ability to vote. For background, Prairie View A&M is one of Texas??? historically Black universities. It has a very different demographic feel than the rest of the county. There has been a long history of dispute over what the students feel is disenfranchisement. There was a lot of outrage in 2006, when students felt they were unfairly denied the right to vote when their registrations somehow did not get processed. According to an article in today???s Houston Chronicle: Waller County has faced numerous lawsuits involving voting rights in the past 30 years and remains under investigation by the Texas Attorney General???s Office based on complaints by local black leaders. Those allegations, concerning the November 2006 general election, related to voting machine failures, inadequate staffing and long delays for voting results. The article adds, ???I was angry after registering to vote in the 2006 election only to be turned away at the voting booth,??? said sophomore Dee Dee Williams. So what are the students doing? 1000 students, along with an additional 1000 friends and supporters, are this morning walking the 7.3 miles between Prairie View and Hempstead in order to vote today. According to the piece I saw on the news (there???s no video up, so I can???t link to it), the students plan to all vote today. There are only 2 machines available at the courthouse for early voting, so they hope to tie them up all day and into the night.

so it sounds a little worse to the slackjawed yokels listening to Hannity
I'm still not sure if the clip was altered or she gave the same speech twice
either way, this is probably the first anti-Obama issue with some traction on talk radio. a good learning experience for the campaign.
also Chris Matthews grilled a TX state senator last night
"What are Obama's legislative accomplishments?"
the guy couldn't answer, it wasn't a good few minutes
McCain "Scandal"
This can't really affect the outcome of the Republican nomination, but it could certainly erode support for McCain among the "family values" voters in the general election.
Dudes biting Controller 7's steez!
PV A&M is about 20 minutes down the highway from me and yeah, Waller County is fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked up! Not only that, the TX legislature has basically ensured that young people could not vote this year but mandating that anyone who hasn't voted in a federal election in the past 4 years can not vote without registration sometime between 2004 and now. So a 22 year old that has never voted or gotten their driver's licensed renewed under the 10 year cycle of renewal is gonna get turned away at the booth.
In spite of his impressive skill at doing so, I don't think Controller7 invented photoshopping heads onto already existing images. But I encourage him to continue working towards supremacy in the field so long as he posts all his efforts for our amusement.
Hmmmmm....I guess dude's got a "type"....
That is not a tie of presidential caliber.
but the Democrats don't even have neckties:
This is damn near a Barney's ad.
LOVE IT
More style and swagger than any previous candidate in the history of this country. You have to look to France or Afghanistan or some place to find appropriate points of comparison.
easy boys.
don't let's bump the "Fred Thompson Swagger" thread from a couple months back. complimenting a man's wardrobe is one thing, but it's never a good heterosexual look to comment on a man's "swagger."
JFK's style > all the presidential candidates combined
I knew one of you poptarts would bring that up, and JFK is certainly number two.
But I still say he's over-rated.
A lot of people are already trying to jack the swagger. If O gets elected, just watch, they will try to sell swagger but then won't because actually game is to be told. There is no higher office in the land. One should not gimp, limp, simp or wide-stance one's way into that office, nor should one amble, sneak or call "shotgun". One should stride, on the strength.
GWB is making a run as the prez with the most swagger.
today in liberia:
And you thought Obama had no rhythm. This Liberian Bush praise shit is not a good look.
Obama Wins Another One
George W. Bush absolutely has the most swagger, yet lacks the crucial component of savoir faire, and so ends up a boor. Swagger for days though, swagger to spare. Who would have thought that during the final hours of one of our great country's most trying chapters, that President Bush would be dancing his way across Africa?
Let us not allow technology to define our minds though: realize that if we had access to youtubes of Roosevelt or Hamilton that we would likely never have invoked the "s" word to describe any of these modern-era fancy boys, O included.
I believe there is a word for this.
And that word is "GANGSTER".
Over-rated, please. Barack got style but JFK was style.
actually I'm sorta feeling Jr.'s style right there. time to bring back overalls, and specifically overall shorts.
yep. minus the botox and oxycontin.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to put this on a t-shirt.
and...who is tougher: hillary or condi?
