On Politics...

I admit, I want Barack Obama to win...not because I hate McCain or I'm a "raging liberal"...but rather because I think he can be a realist as much as people make him out to be an idealist. This post won't be long on my beliefs or political analysis. Rather I just want complain that reports are now coming out that states may be illegally removing people from the voter rolls. Whether it's a conspiracy or not, it can have a very real impact on the outcome, with so many variables at play ("bubba vote" for example). So although the polls may indicate a tight race in some cases, all of a sudden people find out they can't vote and then we're back in a situation where the election is decided by a very small number. That's scary, even if it's how "democracy works"...

As one report stated, in one state, for every new voter added to the roll, officials may have removed two...

I'm afraid because that would favor McCain since it's the Democrats who have registered more voters.

On a lighter note though, I'm happily surprised by "Rednecks for Obama"...maybe they can play an unexpectedly significant role...
