More Dems voting early

By MOLLY BALL
REVIEW-JOURNAL

Democrats outnumbered Republicans at the polls in Clark County by a margin of nearly three to one on the first day of early voting, according to the county Election Department.

Of the 25,110 first-day voters Saturday, 15,644, or 62 percent, were registered Democrats, while just 5,721, 23 percent, were Republicans. The rest were nonpartisans or third-party members.

He better than McCain understands the plight of poor and middle Americans. I'm sick of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Mccain wants more tax cuts, yet he wants to keep the war going. How will he pay for his programs and continue a war at the same time? It seems he has priorities all tangeled up.

    I am saying No Bama, I want to keep my money in my pocket instead of giving it all to taxes.

Hasnt everyone taken notice of his previous admitted suicidal thoughts. And in several interviews and especially the VP debate he teared up and got emotional, reflecting a very fragile psyche! Biden is one crisis away from a total blown tire and will run the Country into a ditch if Obama is bumped off!

I predict the poor SOB wont last 2 yrs before a right wing whacko bumps him off for being a communist or a left wing radical will do him in for being too timid in making the "Changes We All Have Been Waiting For"
