I don’t know when CNN added this Live streaming feature. It is awesome. The user can pick live feeds from a number of different events that may be happening at any moment. Very cool. Why do I need cable TV again?

So, when it looks like the “other guy” might win… what do you do? Stop counting the votes and call it for your guy.

I’m not saying that there haven’t been infractions from all parties on this, but Democrats always stand for voting rights. Some republicans will do anything in their power to make sure that the wrong people don’t get a chance to vote.

Here’s what Washington GOP chair, Luke Esser, had to say in an article he wrote for his college newspaper.

Like any sport worth its salt, in politics you have adversaries, opponents, enemies. Our enemies are loudmouth leftists and shiftless deadbeats. To win the election, we have to keep as many of these people away from the polls as possible.

Now your average leftist loudmouth is a committed individual and can almost never be persuaded to ignore his constitutional rights. The deadbeats, however, are a different matter entirely. Years of interminable welfare checks and free government services have made these modern-day sloths even more lazy. They will vote on election day, if it isn’t much of a bother. But even the slightest inconvenience can keep them from the polling place.

Now, if you follow the link, you’ll find that this was written as a joke. A funny. A ha – ha.

Doesn’t look so funny after you’ve decided that 13% of your voters don’t matter.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m supporting Barack Obama for president, and I encourage you to caucus / vote for him during Tuesday’s primaries.

Seeing him speak this weekend was a great experience. I’m already convinced, of course, but 20,000 Minnesotans were there. Fired up, and ready to go!

Check out this video if you haven’t seen it yet.

Obama is closing the gap in California:

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in California shows Hillary Clinton with a very narrow three-percentage point lead over Barack Obama. The survey was conducted in the hours immediately following Florida’s Presidential Primary and before John Edwards dropped out of the race.

I’m going to see Obama today at the Target Center. Hopefully the campaign will post the video online after the event. It’s going to be a tight race, I hope the young voters come out and caucus for Obama!
