Sometimes people say Obama's full of words, no actions, and that his chants and phrases are not substantial quantifiers of change. Look at the records, they say. Look at the facts.

Here is what I am looking at:

I work for Wal-Mart. I make $13.27 per hour plus one dollar per hour extra on Sundays. I am an hourly supervisor.

I would like to clear a few things up for you about Wal-Mart.

There's a lot of talk going on about Hillary skipping Nevada and South Carolina if she doesn't win New Hampshire tonight. At first, I thought it makes sense, because then she can focus on the super Tuesday states and maybe regain some ground.

Then I hit a wall.

It was the "What The Hell" wall.

If a candidate skipped campaigning in your state would you vote for them?

Yes. If that strategy will help that person win, I can understand it.

No. You can't just discount certain segments of the population!

My state's primary/caucus is late, so a lot of people don't campaign in my state anyway.

I live in an early voting state, and I would be upset. That's why we're among the first!

This whole primary schedule is ridiculous. That's the bigger issue.

23 votes

Not if my state had broken the rules (michigan and florida) then it is not the candidate's fault, and I will vote for that person anyway.

For me, a tipping point came after I got a new car, and it had 3 months of free XM radio. When I got the car, that was not at all a selling point, in fact I didn't want it at all, but after perusing the channels, I found a few I wanted to listen to. They were all talk news stations. BBC, C-SPAN, Air America, and POTUS 08.

So, I have my car (and that darn pushy salesman) to thank for my newbie activism.

So, everyone's on about the new poll that shows Obama ahead in Iowa by 4 points. Before I get into anything, I'll say I'm glad to see it, because I am an Obama supporter, but, I'm also wondering...is it spin? And, moreover, what isn't spin?
