Why John McCain Should Not Win the U.S. Elections?
2008-03-03 02:45:00 John McCain the likely Republican Presidential Candidate in NOvember had recently accepted the endorsement of Hagee and as Blanca DeBree puts it, he is a moralistic, pastor out of Texas, who believes that Muslims worship Satan, and that Catholics are evildoers. Why would such a candidate accept and not denounce this endorsement?Why would he? For a candidate which says, "The greatest danger facing the world is Islamic Terrorism? that would be somewhat inline with his views. John McCain is a candidate that hates not only Muslims but Islam in general. He sees Muslims as enemies.If Bush is bad then we can expect more wars with Muslims if McCain becomes president. He blames it on them. He sees Muslims as an equation to terrorism and bombings.. he even thinks that they do not deserve to live in America.I think as a president of a country one of your qualities should be religious tolerance and respect. If you can't respect religion of other people then you do not deserve to be the ...

New Hampshire: U.S. Elections Still in SNAFU Mode
2008-01-17 20:47:00 by Dr. Bernard Weiner There are reasonable explanations for why Clinton was declared the winner in New Hampshire in the face of all the late polls saying Obama would take it big: undecideds swinging to Hillary on the final day, women heading to the voting precincts in larger-than-expected numbers, some Independents deciding to vote for McCain rather than the ostensible big-winner Obama, Clinton's more personal appeal in her "tearing-up" incident, hidden racism, Clinton supporters messing with Obama's get-out-the-vote system, a late Clinton e-mail campaign to female voters questioning Obama's record on a woman's right to choose an abortion, etc. etc. But, on the basis of what happened last week in New Hampshire and from other accounts around the country, we would be remiss as citizens if we didn't admit that eight years after the disaster that was the 2000 election process, we still don't have a reliable, secure voting system. * Republicans in various key states a...
U S Elections: Big Winners Emerging with January 19 Primaries: Billionaire
2008-01-15 13:28:00 By Philip FernandoDemocratic Party front runners are emerging in the US primary election process. It will either be a woman or a black candidate, Hillary Clinton or Barrack Obama, while the Republicans are still having McCain, Huckabee, Romney, Giuliani and Thompson vying for top honors, according to most polls. Primaries in Nevada and Michigan (19 January) and South Carolina (19 Jan for Republicans, 26 January for Democrats) could reduce the field of candidates to just one or two per party. Meanwhile, New York Mayor, a Republican billionaire Bloomberg entering the fray is being talked of. He will be a logical rallying point if Republicans are divided.Bloomberg has enough money to wage an independent candidacy. Bloomberg is intriguingly a ?fresh prospect? to many. His message seems to be ?Don?t stray too far from the consensus positions, because I can do it all by myself and upset all your electoral calculations.However, if front runner emerge on February 5th Super Tuesday, the winn...

Voter Turnout in U.S. Elections Not Increased by Early Voting Measures
2007-11-05 02:00:00 Washington, DC?Early voting measures are touted by election reform advocates as a principal way of increasing voter turnout, but a new empirical study by political scientists concludes that most early voting options have a negligible or even negative impact on turnout.The research, conducted by Paul Gronke, Eva Galanes-Rosenbaum, and Peter A. Miller (all of Reed College), is entitled ?Early Voting and Turnout? and appears in an election reform symposium in the October issue of PS: Political Science & Politics, a journal of the American Political Science Association. The full symposium is available online at Symposium: The Future of Election Reform in the States.Early voting describes any system where election rules and procedure are relaxed to allow voters to cast their ballot prior to the official Election Day. By the late 1990s twenty U.S. states had at least one type of early voting on the books. The aftermath of the 2000 presidential elections and passage of the 2002 Help Am... |
