The United States defeated an evil dictator when it toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003. America now faces a grave threat from another Hussein. Barack Hussein Obama promises to destroy the very fabric of our nation.

But the biggest problem with Hussein Obama is his Muslim background. He can deny to high Heaven that he is a Muslim, and mask it with his so-called profession of Christian faith. But make no mistake about it. Hussein Obama is a Muslim.

The thought of Hussein Obama as commander-in-chief should send shivers up and down the spines of every America citizen as we fight the War on radical Islam.

more polls that are all over the place and mean little or nothing at all. It isn't "likely voters" that are going to decide this. It's the first timers and unlikely voters on both sides that have been coming out of the woodwork that will decide things.

ten bucks says a good chunk of these races are "too close to call" come wednesday

Personally I think you have it backward. First timers and unlikely voters are probably NOT going to decide things since they are unreliable as far as showing up.

We'll know the results of the West Virginia Republican State Convention and that's about it. All the polls don't close until 7-8 PM

Obama ahead in Democrats Abroad!

http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5jZ3miyDFQOQsm4QkPwcjOp3PfJ4Q

JAKARTA (AFP) — US Democratic Party voters in Indonesia, where Barack Obama spent part of his childhood, handed him a win over Hillary Clinton in the first voting abroad on "Super Tuesday," party officials said.

Seventy-five percent of nearly 100 votes cast by expatriate Americans just past midnight (1700 GMT Monday) went to Obama and 25 percent went to Clinton, Democrats Abroad officials here said.

I do think it was oddly ironic that the first Democrats Abroad poll is from, of all places, where Obama grew up for a few years.

yeah try to get there 20-30 mins early. i don't always get to be number 1 cause theres these 2 guys i see every election that sometimes get in line before me.

plus i find that if you put it off till later like in the afternoon you run into mad people voting versus first thing in the morning. i would say 11-3 is probably the busiest times and than 5 till close.

This American electoral system confuses the heck out of me. I'm sure they took 5 minutes explaining it on the radio this morning, and I was still none the wiser.

What part do you not understand? Delegates? Superdelegates? Electoral College? Caucuses? Conventions? Closed Primaries? Modified Caucuses? Loophole Primaries? At large delegates? Pledged Delegates? Advisory Primaries? Bonus Primaries? Winner-take all primaries? 15% threshold?
