It’s Come to This: Racists For Obama

Posted by John Wellington Ennis

from the addictive site www.fivethirtyeight.com:

So a canvasser goes to a woman’s door in Washington, Pennsylvania. Knocks.
Woman answers. Knocker asks who she’s planning to vote for. She isn’t sure, has to ask her husband who she’s voting for. Husband is off in another room watching some game.
Canvasser hears him yell back, “We’re votin’ for the n***er!”
Woman turns back to canvasser, and says brightly and matter of factly: “We’re voting for the n***er.”

In this economy, racism is officially a luxury. How is John McCain going to win if he can’t win those voters?

VTV Report: Voter Caging in Montana

Posted by John Wellington Ennis

This video is the first in a series Shoot First Inc. is producing for Video the Vote, the movement that comes together in the film FREE FOR ALL! Please sign up at our site to help report issues and play your part in citizen journalism.

With just five weeks before the election, the Montana Republican Party challenged the registrations of thousands of voters based on their showing up in the USPS change of address database. The mass challenge, which is unprecedented in the history of the state, was focused in heavily Democratic counties like Missoula. Video the Vote went to Missoula to talk to some of the challenged voters and to see the impact on the local elections office.
