The first one shows the likelihood one or the other candidate will win, but it is the second that directs us toward a rough estimate of what the results will actually be. Whether the “signal” gets above the Dem-fraud and error-related “noise” remains to be seen, though I believe the “signal” will be ascertained.

Same as the mainstream media, and the image it is trying to project and have the public believe (hedging the media's Obama dream and hope). I believe Obama is the likely winner, but it easily could be closer than many think, and certainly in one or more states, Democratic vote fraud (and anti-GOP “disenfranchisement reflexive lies) will likely make the news — especially if the media discover the race to be much closer than it predicted (loudly).

One says that all people and cities in our country love America- the other goes to small midwestern towns and tells the people they are the real Americans- the ones who love their country and believe in the value of hard work. One is running an African-American for president,in the other -no major office-holders are black.

Which is more inclusive of a population that is becoming increasingly diversified???

Which is more inclusive?

the claim is that Democrats have to problem with diversity and that they welcome diversity. I was just pointing out that the leadership of the Democratic party has a problem with diversity is that their children attend very undiverse private schools and work in very undiverse workplaces and that they live in generally undiverse areas where they will only be exposed to others like themselves.

Also, if we are all Americans, then why do elite white progressives send their children to all white private schools?

“Elite White Progressive”, who or what are you talking about?

Define this term.

In all countries the Elite send their children to special schools, where they get an “Elite Education” and more importantly they get to meet and mingle with their peers, the children of Elites. Why do you think Shrub went to prep school?

People have forgotten that it took two world wars and forty years of almost no immigrant to allow for the intigration of European immigrants. Remember how German-Americans changed their names during WWI and Italians-Americans during WWII.

These days, most actions of the government and of business is to keep Hispanics and blacks isolated. From cable channels to foreign language DVD to cell phones to majority black or majority Hispanic political boundries, the government and buisness suport keeping blacks and Hispanics isolated.

On top of that considering that immigration is accelerating instead of slowing. Why would a Hispanic in Los Angles, Houston, San Antonio, and El Paso want to become white when whites are decreasing portion of the population.

Also, if we are all Americans, then why do elite white progressives send their children to all white private schools? If we are all Americans, then why do elite hwite progressives sned their children to private universities where blacks and hispanics are underrepresented?

If we are all Americans, then why are elite progressive whites crowding into North Shore Chicago, Manhatten, or Northwest DC but avoiding living in Detroit, El Paso, or St Louis?

A better question is what will happen when the upper class white progress who run the Democratic party are outnumbers by blacks and Hispanics who have very different agendas?

You are aware that when the Irish came to America, they were not considered white, nor were the Italians, the Jews, the poles, or any other eastern Europeans. Today they are the backbone of the “White” middle class.

More than likely, “White America” will coop “Hispanic Whites” and Asians though the power of exogamy.

the battle for the Replubican Party is pointless since conservative politics in the U.S. is unsustainable given the changing demographics.

I believe that most Republicans will have enough sense to blame President Bush, former Speaker Hastert, and former Majority leader Frist for not being conservative enough. The Repulblicans have totally abandonned the idea of fiscal responsbility. I doubt a move to the middle will fix that problem.

The Repulbicans have also abandoned any mention of libertarian ideas. It is hard to argue that people need to be more respoinsible for themselves when Bush created new entitlement and few the government. As long as every problem in America needs a new government program, the Repulbicans are equivalent to the Democrats.

The Bush lead Republicans have become convinced that elections are won on campaign gimmicks and niche marketing. They will be shown to be incorrect.

And last, Bush and McCain has demonstrated a total inabilty to understand the long term consequences of their decisions. From the Iraq war to the idiotic illegal immigrant amnesty program, their policy decisions were in opposition with anything that could be called conservative.

We balanced the budget for the first time in a generation.

When?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the way McCain (um, I mean Rove) has run his campaign. How dare Powell criticize McCain when we all know Powell's comments were racially motivated!

…lol…
