Challenged Ballots: You Decide

datePosted on 21:24, November 20th, 2008 by mrosman

The Senate race in Minnesota STILL isn’t decided!

The race between incumbent Republican Norm Coleman and Democrat and former comedian Al Franken was too close to call after the votes were counted. In fact, after over 2 MILLION votes were counted, the difference was less than 300 votes.

LESS THAN 300 VOTES!!!

(Don’t ever let anyone EVER tell you that their vote doesn’t count)

The state of Minnesota is currently recounting the votes. While this seems simple, it really isn’t at all. Sometimes its hard to tell EXACTLY what the voters intent is!

Can you tell who the voter intended to vote for?

Challenged ballots: You be the judge – Minnesota Public Radio puts together a sample of challenged ballots like this one.

Check it out!

Obama Wins

In case you have been living in a cave and your only source of news is MrOsman.com – Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the United States of America. He landed the 270 (and more) electoral college votes that he needed.

Were your electoral college predictions correct?

Perhaps this can help ona few last minute ideas for your projects.

Approaching the witching hour

According to FirstRead:

We now have a good idea of where the two campaigns will spend their last four days until Election Day. Today, Obama campaigns in Iowa and Indiana, and in between the events he heads home to Chicago to spend part of Halloween with his daughters. On Saturday, he travels to Nevada (Henderson), Colorado (Pueblo), and Missouri (Springfield). On Sunday, it’s an entire day in Ohio (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati). And on Monday, per the New York Times, Obama hits Florida (Jacksonville), North Carolina, and Virginia (Manassas). As for McCain, he spends his entire Friday in Ohio; campaigns in Virginia and Pennsylvania on Saturday; then he’s reportedly hitting New Hampshire; and on Monday, he’s supposed to barnstorm through six states (including western ones like Nevada), with a final stop in — get this — Arizona.

Good luck with your predictions!

Barack ‘Prime Time’ Obama

datePosted on 16:37, October 29th, 2008 by mrosman

Tonight at 7:00 Barack Obama will show a 30 minute infomercial on NBC, CBS, FOX, Univision, BET, MSNBC and TV One.

This will be his ‘closing argument’ for the campaign that ends in 6 days.

The address will be a ‘block’ address, on all of those channels at once. Fox has even agreed to post-pone the World Series for 15 minutes in order to accommodate the spot.

Too much? Or just the right thing to do to convince Americans at the last minute?

Politico says, Smart? or Overkill?
