"The Obama campaign has essentially forfeited these states, choosing instead to put time and money into states where they actually have a chance.
Of course, that fact hasn't done anything to dilute the joy of Republicans who have been nothing short of ecstatic as divisions appear between Obama and Democrats in various states."
I was flabbergasted that the right side of the editorial page had anything positive to spin about Democrat John Wolfe, our local Don Quixote. John is always searching for windmills to battle and he is barred from seeking office in TN until he remits his unpaid qualifying fees from a past election. So, we were spared the comedy of his opposing the president in a state that Obama has no chance or hope of carrying.
Sharpen up the jousting lance, John. There are other windmills waiting.
Please see the second paragraph. The 2011 poll was done in New Jersey. The 2012 was done nationwide per the second paragraph in this article, the one I cited in my earlier post. Per this cite:
"Researchers at Fairleigh Dickinson University updated a study they had conducted in late 2011. That study only sampled respondents from New Jersey, where the university is located. This time, the researchers conducted a nationwide poll."
My, My, My you really need to work on your reading skills or lack thereof.
This is the second paragraph from the cited source.
"Researchers at Fairleigh Dickinson University updated a study they had conducted in late 2011. That study only sampled respondents from New Jersey, where the university is located. This time, the researchers conducted a nationwide poll."
Person of Interest is one of the most interesting shows on TV today. The scary part is speculating on how much of what Finch does is technically possible today.
"The only places that age matters is in cheese, wine, whiskey and professional sports." Cant't remember who wrote it but I read that in an article about Bret Favre years ago.
My altar call moment involved a 1953 Ford flathead Victoria Coupe, my first car in 1963, and 2 of our neighbors' mailboxes that jumped right out in front of me in the last curve before turning into our driveway on 2 wheels. I learned a lot about the laws of bodies in motion on that curve and but that was my scariest lesson of all time.
" . . . I am of the opinion that every registered voter in Hamilton County should have made significant effort . . ."
Uh no, only voters within city limits are eligible to vote for Chattanooga's mayor. If you don't live in the city, you have no right to vote in its elections or decide on its leadership. If you do live within the corporate limits, then you have a vested interest in changing whatever it is you oppose, whether it's Mayor Littlefield or the number of potholes in your street.
"Now, however, some want to equate one’s sexual partner preference to the civil rights movement, the fight so courageously fought for more than 100 years."
Yeah, and the FP was on the side of the oppressors for many, many years in that fight. They can run from their history of supporting bigotry (for example, how many years did they list white and "colored" obituaries separately?) but they cannot hide from it.
BTW, if the idiot student sitting next to me used his fork to comb his hair, so what? I don't care as long it's not my fork he is using. I would reflect on his lack of home training and go about my business, a concept that escapes the FP leadership and has for years.
Another Barack Obama stumble in the South
This says it all and accurately.

Let the barking begin!
5-at-10: Peyton, OKC, Last-place eye-poppers
"OKC killing it" may be a predictive headline. 8 shot, 1 critically wounded, after last night's win. Way to stay classy OKC.
Rants
Where are men like Barry Goldwater, Nelson Rockefeller and Howard Baker? What the hell has happened to the Republican Party?
5 at 10: NBA changes, Braves' Minor problem and College football house cleaning
Person of Interest is one of the most interesting shows on TV today. The scary part is speculating on how much of what Finch does is technically possible today.
I applaud your superior taste in TV viewing.
5 at 10: More college movement and Father Time wins some and loses some

Time for Chattanooga mayor recallers to quit

Embrace the truth about marriage
