Obama for President

Okay, I can't help writing about this election. What are the Republicans doing? I know Tushi Bushi sucked but to let that make the whole party fall into chaos is unreal. Para-Sailin' drag the He-row into the slim from which she cam is dire. It's sad. No platform, no sense, no way.

I would much rather have a calm, principled and dedicated man like Obama any day. He is genuine and sincere. I urge you to go out and vote for him. You will be able to tell your children that you voted for that president that cared so much. Don't put it off -- if you have mail-in ballots send them after you mark Obama and if you're going to the polls, vote for him them. You know it's the best choice.

I know my whole, ever-so-wonderful family, is going to vote this year. I am so proud of them.

Are you ready? Have you registered to vote?

A lot of people complain about the government, but what confuses me is that some of them don't even vote. Why not vote? It's your way to decide how the government is being run. We, the people, actually run the government. We choose leaders who are in agreement with what we believe is important and what needs to be done. We won't be able to fix the failing infrastuctures of roads, schools and health care until we stop spending so much money on wars and other countries. We should try to end proverty in this country. So get up and sign up to VOTE!

Faline is a funny funny dog. She jumps over a weed and forgets to put down her hind legs so there she is walking on her front legs for a time. I keep trying to get a pic of it but she is too interested in the camera.

I have a new flash fiction being published in the Summer Quarter Issue of Mississippi Crow. When it comes out you will be able to get it online as a download or a print at http://www.lulu.com/

I hope you enjoy it. I'm working on back ground information on my new novel set in and around Memphis TN. Other works of mine are at http://www.bewrite.com/ or http://www.fictionwise.com/ or http://www.mobipocket.com/

THE IOWA CAUCUSES

Who: Anyone, whether registered as voters or not, can attend the Iowa caucuses as long as they'll be 18 by Election Day 2008. Attendees can register on caucus night.

When: The caucuses - since 1972 the first major electoral event of the presidential-nominating process - will be held the evening of Jan. 3.

How: Voters and future voters must be in their Democratic or Republican caucus location, which can be a church, school, someone's home or elsewhere, by 7 p.m. Jan. 3. The attendees will be asked to choose a presidential candidate - through a straw poll for Republicans and a variety of means for Democrats, including sometimes standing in a certain area to be counted.

What's next: For Republicans, the straw poll results will be counted and used to send delegates to the state nominating convention.

For Democrats, the results are counted at the caucus to determine whether candidates meet certain viability thresholds - at smaller caucuses the threshold is 25 percent, at larger ones it's 15 percent. If some preferences are considered not viable, voters will be given the chance to pick again. Once viable selections are made, the results will be used to select delegates to county nominating conventions.

The delegates are not bound by the caucus results but tend to stick with the candidate picks that won them selection.

Why it matters: While a presidential candidate can win party nomination without winning Iowa and lose it after winning Iowa, the early support gives candidates important momentum to continue.
