Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

If new voters turn out as expected, Obama wins big; if not, well….

A new poll out tonight SAYS 13 percent of registered voters are expected to be first-time voters in this election, in which case Barack Obama will win in a blowout.

But, if new voters don’t show in such big numbers, the race could be close.

    You’re assuming that first-time voters are going to vote for Obama. I don’t think that’s a safe assumption.
    I know several young people who will be proud to cast their vote for McCain.

    how can anyone be proud to cast a vote for a VP candidate who is probably going to be indicted. There is yet another Alaska inquiry going on for her stealing taxpayer money to house herself in her own home, have her brood tag along with her on the taxpayers’ dime and allow her and the clan to meet the first dude at the finish line of a snow machine race….yeah, she is a fine specimen who had her house built for FREE by contractors who she gave a huge government contract to while mayor–this lady (and i use the term loosely) is all about lining her own pockets with tax dollars like her good buddy who she still supports, Criminal Ted Stevens…and, like stevens loves to abuse her power…Proud? you gotta be kidding me–and most young folks are too smart to be fooled by that moron and her b.s. “folksy” crafted image…I think Tina Fey would get more votes from the young

    Interesting article from an Arab perspective:

    Obama and Ahmadinejad : By Amir Taheri 10.26.08

    Is Barack Obama the “promised warrior” coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?
