    Study: Media coverage has favored Obama campaign

    Just when I thought it was a good time for me to head to bed for the night, this tasty piece of news appeared. I thought I'd share it for all to read and discuss. For me, though, I'm heading to sleep and will read up on the tread in the morning. Nighty night, y'all. :D Source, posted one...

    Special "Perks" For Senators

    NAACP Sues Virginia Governor

    This simply amazes me. If a group suspects that there's an issue with the length of times the polls are open, then why not form a coalition with other groups to request longer hours. What good will a lawsuit do in the 11th hour? Source

    News & Reporting Equality

    This article submitted last evening by Patrick Buchanan. I suspect many of you venemous Libs have very little respect for this individual. However, there is plenty of truth in what he has to say. Certainly, you can't argue that the NY Times, MSNBC, etc. haven't really slanted their news...

    Voter Probes: Dems trying to steal the election??
