    Obama the Socialist, Obama the Marxist, Obama the Fascist

    I live in NY Tri State and the only thing on AM is to listen to conservative radio shows. Glenn beck. So apparently someone like glenn beck (all dramatic), thinks it is the end of the world of Obama. I used to listen to him and some other ones, but now I disagree with them 100%, they don't make...

    Polls Skewed because of cellphone only people?

    I wanted your opinion on this. In 2008, we had the largest younger generation turn out rate in the primaries. People said about this in 2004 with cell phones, polls are skewed, however, that was 4 years ago and had less younger people voting. As with Barack Obama, he attracted insane...

    Why isn't Obama doing rallies? Does he need to go negative like McCain did?

    A typical town hall meeting is 2-3K people. That is not enough unless you do like 10 of them in a day. What he needs to do is do massive rallies like in the primaries. 20K people, 30, 70K... for every large rallie that's at least few points in the state polls.... Town hall meetings are useful...

    Two Phase/Layer Voting System
