			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>Yes, it&#8217;s November 4, 2008 and it&#8217;s voting time across the country.  I hope you voted, yes I&#8217;m mean YOU!  Everyone who can legally vote, should.  That being said, I sketkar did vote.  So, now I&#8217;ll be glued to the TV switching between the Pundits on various media outlets to see who get&#8217;s it wrong first and the most.  They are all competing and will be in a hurry to call the Presidential Election.  Well, I&#8217;ll do better, I&#8217;ll predict it right now&#8230; no, not really but I will give you what I think will happen when we all wake up tomorrow morning.</p>
<p>As everyone knows that Barack Obama is said to be up anywhere from 7 to 9 percentage points in the polls but there&#8217;s this Bradley effect that says that people will say one thing and vote a completely different way.  In the Bradley case just like Obama, it&#8217;s a black candidate and every while citizen is a secret-racist (hmm.. I wonder it that anything like a secret-muslim), anyways.  I won&#8217;t get into that right now, I&#8217;ll lay out what I think will happen, this is just my opinion, my prediction if you wish.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.aviewfromthefence.com/store/electoral-vote.jpg" alt="Electoral Map" /></p>
<p>That would be Obama-307, McCain-231.  Obama winning&#8230; let&#8217;s see how close a get.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is very troubling news&#8230;</p>
<p>I feel this is something that both Liberals and Conservatives should be appalled about.</p>
<p>Prosecutors Jennifer Joyce and Bob McCulloch (both Obama supporters) stated they will bring charges against anyone who speaks falsely about Obama.  It does appear that various Democratic Leaders within Missouri have been joining the Obama Truth Squad.</p>
<p>Apparently, Joyce and McCulloch have sheriffs that will arrest individuals who speak falsely about Obama.  Missouri Governor Matt Blunt (R) posted a statement on the official Missouri Governor&#8217;s <a href="http://governor.mo.gov/cgi-bin/coranto/viewnews.cgi?id=EkkkVFulkpOzXqGMaj&amp;style=Default+News+Style&amp;tmpl=newsitem" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/governor.mo.gov/cgi-bin/coranto/viewnews.cgi?id=EkkkVFulkpOzXqGMaj_amp_style=Default+News+Style_amp_tmpl=newsitem&amp;referer=');">webpage</a>:</p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Missouri</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p>I have two issues with this.  Libel is not a criminal offense, it is civil.  If I state on this blog that my co-host, SKetkar loves wearing women&#8217;s dresses with pink fuzzy slippers, I can.  I have a First Ammendment right to do so.  However, if SKetkar says I libeled him, then he can sue me in a court of law.  The Harris County Sheriff can not arrest me for it.</p>
<p>My second issue&#8230;</p>
<p>These prosecutors have specifically stated this is to protect Obama.  What about John McCain?  I guess it is alright for me in Missouri to call McCain an old, senile bat which seems to follow their rules.</p>
