2008 Convention - Front Row Seat Photo Diary

September 1, 2008 by johne

One of the best parts of being a member of the host state delegation at the convention is having front row seating during the convention.  They didn't help my photographic skills, but I managed to get a few shots that I share with the world on the flip. Unfortunately, I 'lost' a lot of pictures while downloading to my computer. These are the ones I managed to save.

Flip it good.

Deployed Troops Give to Obama Over McCain by 6 - 1 Margin

August 14, 2008 by Future Majority

Open Secrets is reporting that troops overseas are giving to Barack Obama over John McCain at a rate of 6 - 1:

According to an analysis of campaign contributions by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, Democrat Barack Obama has received nearly six times as much money from troops deployed overseas at the time of their contributions than has Republican John McCain, and the fiercely anti-war Ron Paul, though he suspended his campaign for the Republican nomination months ago, has received more than four times McCain's haul.
