I just saw this article and laughed out loud until I began reading, at which point I became a little uneasy.

The author attempts to prove that “running a campaign is like building a megachurch.” He first goes through the general history of a megachurch, which was inspired when a missionary in India decided that the [...]
I found an article talking about the internet newsguy’s possible declinde in power:

It stated Drudge’s possible out-of-touch-ness, due to his cautionary comments about Obama…..
On Monday, Drudge posted a link to this You Tube clip featuring an Obama radio interview from 2001 with a headline that blared: “2001 OBAMA: TRAGEDY THAT ‘REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH’ NOT PURSUED [...]
Perhaps the most absurd contention that has arisen in the final weeks of the campaign is that Barack Obama is a Socialist or Communist, or some perverted combination of the above. If anything, Senator Obama is the anti-Marxist candidate; a true socialist would be well served to vote for John McCain. Obama’s slight revisions to the tax code [...]
This study discusses an interesting gender bias between voters. Female voters were considered male candidates ‘dominant,’ male voters did not see a difference in dominance based on gender. This is expsing the kind of social structure that influences women to look at men as dominant. Without getting in to a nature v. nurture or logic [...]
After the third presidential debate, where the two candidates spent precious time of their talk commenting on him, Joe the Plumber has become part of the campaign. He has been mentioned in countless speeches, he has appeared on many newspapers, his story has become national known and a campaign ad based on his figure was [...]
What a relief not to dread election day.
Published by October 30th, 2008 in Uncategorized. 0 CommentsFor the first time in a long time I feel like I can respect my future president. The days of embarassment are over. George Bush is almost done! Whether McCain or Obama wins the United States will be better off than we have been. Seeing the Obama ad that is effectivly his closing statement makes [...]
One of the best record B. Obama set through the ongoing campaign is about fundraising. The Democratic candidate in fact has become the most successful presidential fundraiser ever, with donations of more than $ 600 million, almost the amount of money that all candidates from both major parties collected in private donation in 2004. The [...]
Jesus would have worked with Bill Ayers too.
Published by October 30th, 2008 in Uncategorized. 1 CommentFor a while now, the McCain campaign has been attacking Obama about his past association with Bill Ayers, a controversial anti-war activist. The McCain campaign also used this tactic in calling out Obama for his relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. I do not believe you should judge someone based on the people they associate with.
Obama [...]
In the most recent edition of The Economist, Lexington writes an article on another phenomenon we are witnessing this election: conservatives jumping ship in favor of Obama. Colin Powell is only one of the most prominent figures leaving the Republican Party. The article cites a poll from The Washington Post-ABC which shows Obama winning [...]
Bias and Negativity: Validation for Journalists
Published by October 28th, 2008 in CAMPAIGN COMMENTARIES and Uncategorized. 4 CommentsI found this article and thought it very interesting considering our recent study of negative ads. One could say that there is a parallel suggested by this article: like negative ads being good for the campaign process, negative and biased press could be in a similar fashion…….

Why McCain is getting hosed in the press

So it’s probably really obnoxious to keep posting articles I’ve written for the Free Lance-Star… but most of my feelings and information I get while reporting about the election! I apologize if I come off as self-promoting.
I wanted to ask you guys about where you’re registered to vote this year. It’s an interesting issue with [...]
I love that I’ve had the chance to see three out of the four Presidential/Vice Presidential nominees this election. I think it is an amazing opportunity, and I hope that everyone took advantage of the fact that we’ve been so fortunate this year! Maybe in 2012 I’ll catch all four.
So, as you can tell, I [...]
Just be Tuesday, already.
Published by enowrouz October 31st, 2008 in CAMPAIGN COMMENTARIES and Uncategorized. 1 CommentIt’s so close. The election is four days away, and I feel like I can’t turn on the tv or check my e-mail without being barraged by Michelle, Barack and Mark. Yes, I know there are only a few days left, and I’ve seen the polls, I know there is still work left to be [...]
