How we did it!

Here are a few of the things that I think were important for Barack being elected:


  1. Got out the youth vote
  2. Internet, Internet, Internet
  3. People sick of the mud-slinging politics as usual
  4. More people being educated about the candidates, and their records
  5. Republicans simply didn’t show up – McCain underperformed in many republicans strongholds
  6. Economy (of course)
  7. Polling never reached all the new young voters! (I have been saying that one for a while now)

Now, we just need to stay involved in this process – educate ourselves as to how our government really works, and participate!

Many, many thanks to all who participated in this historic election. The world was watching, and we did not disappoint!


How to scare voters, and create a little chaos…

Does anyone remember Allen Raymond? He was a Republican operative that was convicted, and apparently reformed after spending three months in prison, for his “jam the phone lines” scheme in NH, back in 2002. Raymond was involved in other little tricks in an effort to keep people from showing up at the polls.


Now, others are involved, and apparently targeting college age voters by posting flyers around the campus of Drexel University that undercover police will be at the polls, looking to make arrests.

ABC News has the scoop on this one, and it looks like Raymond may be helping to turn his dirty deeds around, by trying to stop this sort of thing.
