Obama Ahead or Surprisingly Close in All Regions

[DeepModem Mom]

Riding a wave of voter discontent over a failing economy, Democrat Barack Obama has solid leads in northeastern, midwestern and western Democratic enclaves and has mounted surprising challenges in the South and other once reliably Republican states. In many areas, that strength is spilling over to endanger some Republicans running for the Senate, House or governor. The region-by-region outlook:

------

THE NORTHEAST:

NEW YORK -- The climate for Republicans this Election Day is particularly harsh in the Northeast, where Democrats are hoping to pick up seats in several places where the tide may be turning against the GOP....

***

THE WEST:

LAS VEGAS -- Democrats running for president have long hoped the growing Mountain West would offset losses in the increasingly conservative Rust Belt. But their past two attempts to sweep the region's swing states -- Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico -- have fallen short. Polls show Obama has the best chance in years of accomplishing the feat, to secure the three states' 19 electoral votes....

***

THE SOUTH:

JACKSON, Miss. -- The Republican grip on elected federal offices across the South is in jeopardy for the first time in decades as blacks turn out in record numbers and voters look to take out their economic fears on GOP incumbents....

***

THE MIDWEST:

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- In the Midwest, the loss of jobs has overwhelmed energy, the war and all other issues. And that has allowed Obama to compete even in states like Indiana, which Bush won by 20 percentage points in 2004....

Donate. Volunteer. Vote. NOW!

With just a few days left until the election, it's great to hear that these former Republican regions are going blue.

I think it demonstrates that the US is tired of their politics and mismanagement of the past 8 years as well as unnerved by McCain and Palin. We know they won't turn our country around and will only sink us deeper. McCain is angry and erratic. Palin doesn't know or chooses to disregard basic knowledge of our country.

4. Bush didn't win fuck in 2004! Diebold & brethren, Karl Rove and Kenneth Blackwell STOLE IT!

"COLUMBUS, Ohio -- In the Midwest, the loss of jobs has overwhelmed energy, the war and all other issues. And that has allowed Obama to compete even in states like Indiana, which Bush won by 20 percentage points in 2004...."

NOT. TRUE.

But even if you ignore all the evidence, and don't believe that, because evidence ain't your thing, the very least that should be said about the 2004 election is that nobody knows who won it, and nobody can prove who won it, because 80% of the votes were 'counted' using 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code, owned and controlled by Bushwhack corporations, with virtually no audit/recount controls!

And now it's more than 80%. And it involves Congress, and every public office in the land. There is barely a public official in this country from president to school board who can prove that he or she was actually elected.

The Corpo/Fascist 'news' monopolies keep repeating this goddamn disinformation that Bush and Cheney were reelected, without any evidence or proof that that is true--and in spite of overwhelming evidence that it isn't true. They repeat it casually, as above, and often. And that is more than disinformation. That is psyops. That is war on the American people!
