crunchtastic Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Thanks for the idea... I might combine voting with a brief tour of Eastwood. Any suggestions for an interesting drive route from Eastenders?These are just general boundaries to create a google map....S. Lockwood b/w Harrisburg and Leeland is roughly the central street that runs through Eastwood. You can use that as a guide. Most of the nicest homes are on the west side of Lockwood. Driving down Harrisburg, Canal and Navigation also gives a feel for the near east end. The industrial areas and railyards closest to downtown are also neat, you'll see the rapid growth in townhomes. It's a pretty compact area. Cullen and Scott are easy access points from 45. Polk is a major east-west street in the hood, and McKinney and Walker are nice for checking out the houses.

HtownWxBoy Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The line at the West Gray community center was insane. I waited for an hour as the line creeped along. Having finally reached the head of the line, I was presented with the straight blue or red vote. Nope. Skipped that one.It's always long there... that's where I go to vote. I think I may instead go to the voting place at Moody Park just north of Downtown... it's close to me, also... probably shorter lines there.

sevfiv Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The downtown office at 1001 Preston never seems to be busy, at least not on weekends.I have voted early there the past few times and it was practically empty, plus it's extremely easy to get to by rail.

RedScare Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Grim news for McCain supporters.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/27295062#27295062Chuck Todd is one of the few numbers guys I listen to. McCain's big problem appears to be the same one he has had all along. His campaign is poorly run. And Obama's is well run. If the volunteers in these tight states are not performing, it can have a devestating effect on the electoral vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanS Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 John McCain has one foot in a nursing home, the other one in the grave.

If the volunteers in these tight states are not performing, it can have a devestating effect on the electoral vote.Chuck Todd is good. He knows what he is talking about. The truth is, and the latest NBC poll points it out, McCain supporters are a lot less excited about McCain than Obama supporters are about Obama. You're seeing it with record fundraising (by dollars and donors) and you're seeing it with campaign volunteers. I have friends heading out from Boston to go to New Hampshire, Indiana, Virginia, and North Carolina to get out the vote. I am heading to Virginia to meet a friend from high school who lives in DC. We're then heading to Richmond to volunteer there for the 4 days prior to election day.I have about 8 friends who are voting for McCain. They aren't giving him money. They aren't giving him time. And, none of them are even bothering to vote early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Palin's Kids Travel On Government Dime That Sarah Palin, she sure is a reformer all right. RNC Spends Over $150,000 on Palin's clothes In One Month Anyone remember the brouhaha over John Edwards' $400 haircut? Well, the people that claimed $400 haircuts proved Edwards was out of touch with mainstream America have just spent $150,000 on clothes for Sarah Six-Pack. That's right....4 years salary for Joe the Plumber for a little over one month's worth of clothes for our beloved hockey mom. But, don't worry, it's Barack Obama who is the elitist.

cottonmather0 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 PuroAztlan is bored with this election already.I agree, this is boring, but probably not for the same reasons you think so. You could make it more interesting by explaining why you support Obama. I understand that you apparently don't think the president should get chilly in the grocery store, but that seems like a rather scurrilous reason for your vote. Please don't just say, "Obama is not Bush/a neocon/mean" or just use the words "hope" and "change". I could say the same things about McCain, but that's not why I am voting for him. What POLICIES of Obama's do you support and why? Be specific.I would be happy to respond in kind and perhaps this wouldn't be so boring, no?

wernicke Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 If you have time, here is a very interesting investigative piece on how Steve Schmidt and Rick Davis have basically mismanaged McCain '08. If anyone has found themselves asking "What happened to John McCain?" (like me), you will find some of the answers in the article. Much of the blame, it seems to me, falls on McCain's choice of Steve Schmidt to run his campaign. Among other poor strategic decisions, the Palin choice seems to have been solely Schmidt's idea. Can you imagine where we would be if it were McCain-Bloomberg? McCain should have stuck with Mike Murphy, a Republican strategist who seems to be intelligent and have a conscience.

The first time I heard it was when she was on SNL.At first I was disappointed with her appearance. I was hoping for more.
