I've never given much weight to Rasmussen polling -- it's kind of hard to take a pollster seriously when they claim a Party ID of R+2 (36D/34R/30I) when Republicans haven't outnumbered Democrats in a Presidential election year going back decades -- but even they can't hide the fact that the President is enjoying a huge bump from the Democratic and Republican conventions.

According to recently released data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 5 million more new people voted in 2008 over 2004 (over all turnout remained at 64%). But it's the composition of those new voters that bodes well for the future of the Democratic agenda. More than 90% of those new voters were minorities: 2 million more blacks, 2 million more Hispanics and 600,000 more Asians.

Remember all that drama about how Obama would not be able to win the big states that Clinton won during the primaries? You know, states like Ohio and Pennsylvania and Florida, etc.

Well, since the election is over, I wanted to go ahead and look through the various states that Obama and Clinton won during the primaries and see how Obama performed.

DON'T BELIEVE THE EXIT POLLS!

When the exit polling was released back in 2004, many of us believed that John Kerry would be the next president of the United States. Heck, even more recently, we thought that Obama had a chance to beat Clinton in the PA primary due to the exit polling, yet when the final results came in, Obama lost by 10 points.

In this stressful political climate, it's always good to be able to have a laugh every once in a while.

I know this isn't all that much a diary, but I just came across this well-edited video and wanted to pass it along.

It really catches you off guard because it looks so realistic. Very cleverly done.

Anyways, enjoy.

The Repository (of Canton, Ohio in Stark County) has endorsed Barack Obama for President of the United States. By the way, the paper endorsed Bush in 2004. However, the more interesting thing is what they have to say against McCain, whom the paper endorsed as the Republican candidate back in 2000 when he ran against Bush. I know some may feel this isn't such a big deal (who knows how much endorsements actually matter), but I feel like they've really laid out several great reasons to vote for Obama.

So follow along below to read some excerpts and check out the full endorsement for yourself.
