By Steve Dalton | 11/03/08

From NextGenGop.comFinal Electoral Predictions: What a McCain Upset Would Look LikeNov 3rd, 2008By Aaron Marks.At this point, I don't think that any of us can effectively predict what the outcome of tomorrow's elections will be.  Quite frankly, I'm not even sure that we'll know the who the next President of the United States is going to be for many hours, if not days, after polls close.  That said, it seems that there are three... read more »

By Steve Dalton | 10/22/08

Here's the genesis of this artice:  Rush Limbaugh read it today on air, I posted a tweet about it and then got quite a few requests for a link to the article from friendfeed followers.  So I went searching, and (update) found the article on the author's blog.  An open letter to the local daily paper -- almost every local daily paper in America (Orson Scott Card)  originally posted on a website that for some reason is no... read more »

Should pay some taxes to get some back - right? I'm a little confused, like many Americans I was starting to believe Barack Obama's claims that he would lower the taxes on 95% of Americans, he said it enough times. But now the truth comes out - many of the people would get checks who didn't pay any taxes in the first place. That's ridiculousObama has claimed that he would lower taxes on 95% of workers - even though more than 50% of workers... read more »

By Steve Dalton | 10/11/08

Report: Barack went for knock-out earlyIs Barack Obama faced with mounting expenses and running out of cash? I guess those of us who support John McCain hope this is true.
