Election

Now we know that John McCain has been lying to us all along. As the Sarah Palin nomination for Cross-posted from The Progressive Pulse.
Vice-President makes obvious, John McCain has no interest in putting "Country First." Unless, I suppose, that you think McCain actually believes that the barely removed mayor of a hamlet in Alaska is the most qualified Republican to be one beat away from his 72 year old heart and the presidency.

Cindy....Mrs. McCain....Lady of the House(s) is offended by the all the talk about the houses John and she owns.....I mean she owns. I would say those who are losing their homes might be a little offended too...wait did we not hear yesterday the economy is turning around?

Time to sell a home John the market is turning around....

Cindy said,
"I'm offended by Barack Obama saying that about my husband," said McCain's wife Cindy.

Now that we have a nominee in Barack Obama, it would seem that nothing can stop him from sweeping into the Oval office this fall.

Our Plans

It is our mission to raise money, promote John McCain. We will set up a "527" to raise money, run TV and radio ads against Obama. The Democrat party has left us out in the cold, so we are going to build a fire that they cannot put out

The NC Board of Elections has an awesome web page dedicated to reporting election results from across the state in this historical primary. It includes a summary of every race statewide and by county. Plus it has voter turn out numbers, and a map of the state to see results by county. There is even a tab where you can download CSV and XLS reports, and filter by CD, county or vote type.

The Bangles sang it, didn't they?

gary, indiana

Yes.

MAKE.IT.WORK.....

That is what this campaign is about, Making it Work, for Americans.
