Okay, I was never very good with deadlines, but I think we are back on track now. I actually was called for jury duty.
OBAMA PULLING AWAY WITH DEAD VOTERS
A recent ACORN-Pew Family Trust poll shows some interesting demographics are afoot in the presidential race:
While older Americans still prefer John McCain by a slight margin, Barack Obama appears to be running away with the votes of the recently deceased by a commanding 7 to 1 ratio. Obama is also piling up a huge lead among voters who have already submitted absentee ballots, but who plan to cast multiple votes. Homeless voters and felons favor Obama 98% to 2%.
The Democratic candidate is drawing surprising support among professional athletes, in addition to his expected lead among rock stars and those employed in the music, and art industries.
Obama is doing particularly well in the so-called battleground states, where registration is equal to, and in some cases surpassing, the total population of the states.
