I think when everything is said and done and we count the votes, African-Americans will actually be over represented (making up 13% of the U.S. population, but making 16-18% of the vote) and younger voters will still be under represented (but up from ‘04 or ‘00).
Ohh…you can tell they are getting desperate now. They are reusing another argument from the primaries against Obama. The McCain camp GOPTrust PAC is clearly just pulling this out again to try to divide the country and keep race as our original sin. Disappointing.
Sen. Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, will be coming back to Columbus this Sunday. It is down on capital square. Doors at 11:00. Program at 1:00.
I honestly don’t know how everyone is going to fit. It really doesn’t seen like there is a lot of room right in front of the capital and they need to fit at least 20,000 or 30,000 people.
So I am going to try to blog again. We’ll see if it works. I doubt it. But we’ll see. I more than anything just need to get writing regularly again. I think it really helped me and now I am sort of out of practice. Anyway, we are 5 days out from the election. I am in the first quarter of the second year of my Ph.D. at The Ohio State University.
