election

Great blog post by Pramila! And, all the content is good - but immediately relevant is the piece about Mallahan (running for Seattle Mayor) - his comments make me very worried and provide yet another reason for me to vote for Nickels.

Quoted: The day that Barack Obama was elected President of the United States, a conversation began in the news media: Now that we have a black President, aren't we done discussing issues of race in America?

uh. Ya. York you are an idiot.

Quoted: Highlights from NEWSWEEK's special election project.

A great piece on The Root from Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Quoted: From toiling as White House slaves to President-elect Barack Obama, we have crossed the ultimate color line.

I will be the first to call an Obama victory. Take the current situation. Then, assume Obama sweeps the West coast and Hawaii. That puts Obama at 271. It's over.

Quoted: Latest results, headlines and video, candidates' positions on the issues, fundraising totals, States to Watch news and analysis, and a unique side-by-side visual comparison of the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates.

Get your free coffee while you can! Turns out it violates election law in many states because it constitutes giving "gifts" to people to get them to vote. Good times.

Quoted: The presidential election is coming to a close in the time-honored way—with widespread anxiety about voter fraud, voter suppression, mechanical glitches, and long lines at the polls. Here at Slate, we're keeping track of the outrages unfolding nationwide.

Nice campaign photos.

My latest blog post... It's basically about how WA state will be voting entirely by mail in the next election...

Quoted: It all started with the Washington caucuses. Sure, I'd heard of caucuses before - you walk into a room full of people, ask them their opinions, and try and get them to come over to your side. But I didn't believe it - it sounded too much like Lord of the Flies.
