A BIG thanks to our blue Counties

Lee and Tuscaloosa-SHAME ON YOU!!!!!! :spank:

The other 52, including my home County of Walker, no big surprise.

1. Home County (Mobile) not as bad as expected.

We did much worse here in Northern Kentucky.

Roll Tide!

2. John King said on election night that Obama lost every county in Alabama

I knew he was smoking crack. I knew there was no way that Obama lost the central-Alabama "black belt," so named for the rich, black soil.

I haven't looked at the demographics of Jefferson county lately, but I admit I'm a little surprised about that one.

I don't know if John King was pushing some sort of agenda, or just made an honest mistake. It did seem that he went out of his way to say that Obama didn't win a single county in Alabama or Texas, and a couple other states in the south. I knew that was a demographic and statistical impossibility, so it seems that he should have known that too, given the amount of money he is supposedly paid by CNN. I guess I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

Hopefully, the early reports about the abandonment of the "50-state strategy" will prove to be untrue. It helped in places like Indiana, Virginia and North Carolina. And it will help in places like Alabama eventually. Especially, if President-Elect Obama turns out to be the kind of president that I think he will be.

Take heart, Alabama liberals and progressives. We are only the sixth "reddest" state.

Thank God for Wyoming, Oklahoma, Utah, Idaho and Alaska.

:freak:

Wait. That didn't really come out right. But you all know what I mean.

3. The voter turnout in Montgomery county was HUGE!

I had to wait at the polling station for over an hour, but at least it was at an art museum located inside of a park. So it gave me something to look at while I waited. :D

4. We certainly do

:)

I'll give King the benefit of a doubt.

Also, I seriously doubt the 50-State strategy will be abandoned. Barack's
landslide was a direct result of it. Although Democrats traditionally snatch
defeat from the jaws of victory, I believe we've FINALLY figured things out.

Remember the "good old days" when the only State we had to thank God for
was Mississippi? My 5 YO granddaughter LOVES Barack. The future looks better.

7. I don't know how you folks make them mixed marriages work

:D

Thanks to your wife, love to the grandbaby, and thanks to you!

Certainly the future looks better than it has in a good long time.

I hope you're right. I hope we're right!

:hi:

5. How do you think that the Presidential election

8. Info helps too....Visitor to Iraq can speak to your group

Sorry to be slightly off-topic, but I'm having a terrible time posting.

I'm traveling through Atlanta between Feb 1 - 23, 2009, to speak about my pre- and post-invasion trips to Iraq. I also spent this summer volunteering in Syria with Iraqi refugees.

I'm happy to address your political club, church, temple, neighborhood association, Rotary Club or school while I'm in Birmingham....I've given this presentation over 200 times, including to a group of Congresswomen in the US Capitol. This talk may not turn TN blue, but it will make you see red!

My bio is on my blog, http://www.PeacePATHFoundation.org .

(I'll do a clearer post once DU allows me to post a thread. Thanks for your patience!)
