After an economic speech Wednesday at the Truman Library
and Museum in Independence, Missouri, John McCain had
some trouble making his exit
Hey Hannie. My sister in law sent me that test yesterday. I think I had like 2 points for Obama and 12 for McCain.

Obama = 11
McCain = 2
And even the 2 that went for McCain were questions where I pretty much agreed with both answers.

I agree that the video is BS. Those children are clueless to poilitics. Let their parents sing the song on the video.

Could you pass the new U.S. citizenship test?
Excerpts:
"The new civics list, a pool of 100 possible questions for a test of up to 10, omits the old "How many stars are there on our flag?" and "Name the amendments that guarantee or address voting rights." Taking their place are questions like: "There are four amendments to the Constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them," and "What is one responsibility that is only for United States citizens?"
"Don't Miss
USCIS.gov: New test's questions and answers
USCIS.gov: Old test's questions and answers"
"This new test is just going to widen that gap between the person who passes the test and the average American, who doesn't have a clue," she said."

I took it earlier today. I got 98.
I suspect that Sarah Palin could NOT pass it.
Asked by Katie Couric to name U.S. Supreme court cases other than Roe vs. Wade that she disagreed with, Palin could not.
Off the top of my head, obvious choices would have been Plessey vs. Ferguson, which authorized slavery in the U.S., and Kelo vs. City of New London, which allowed politicians to take your home and sell it to others.

"An AP-Gfk poll released Wednesday found that just 25 percent of likely voters believe Palin has the right experience to be president. That's down from 41 percent just after the GOP convention, when the Alaska governor made her well-received debut on the national stage."

If I managed to get a 100, I'm sure Palin can pass this test!

McCain gives up on Michigan in a major retreat
WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate John McCain conceded battleground Michigan to the Democrats on Thursday, GOP officials said, a major retreat as he struggles to regain his footing in a campaign increasingly dominated by economic issues.
These officials said McCain was pulling staff and advertising out of the economically distressed Midwestern state. He also canceled a visit slated for next week. Michigan, with 17 electoral votes, voted for Democrat John Kerry in 2004, but Republicans had poured money into an effort to try to place it in their column this year.
The decision marked the first time either McCain or his Democratic rival, Barack Obama, has tacitly conceded a traditional battleground state in a race for the White House with little more than a month remaining.

This matches the no tossup states electoral college count from Real Clear Politics ( Obama 168 votes ahead ); but discounting the tossup states variables Obama still leads by 106 votes.

Press kept under a watchful eye
CLEARWATER -- Constantly under the watchful eyes of security, the media wasn't permitted to wander around inside Coachman Park to talk to Sarah Palin supporters. When reporters tried to leave the designated press area and head toward the bleachers where the crowd was seated, an escort would dart out of nowhere and confront him or her and say, "Can I help you?'' and turn the person around.
When one reporter asked an escort, who would not give her name, why the press wasn't allowed to mingle, she said that in the past, negative things had been written. The campaign wanted to avoid that possibility Monday.
