I wish he were here in Delaware County, PA...instead McCain/Palin will be at the Delaware County Court House/Municiple Building today

I did not get a chance to watch the 60 minutes feature with Obama & McCain...did anyone catch it?

Is it on Youtube? I've found that to be a very good source for whatever I miss on TV. Usually, the taped version is on You Tube.

I watched it. The interviewers asked some tough questions. I was slightly distracted so I will probably watch it again http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/60mi...main3415.shtml

Since this talks of primarily of Sarah Palin, MCCain, Obama, I thought it would be an interesting read to post here. Loving the comparisons.

For those who still can’t grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps this list will help.

THIS needs to be shouted from the rooftops and broadcast on every medium of mass communication...!

I hadn't even heard some of the most ridiculous things on that list. "Terrorist fist bump"? Lol.

I received an email asking that voters not wear any candidate paraphernalia to the polls when they go to vote. The suggestion was that paraphernalia (T-shirts, hats, pins, etc..) would be seen as "campaigning" and be grounds for polls workers to legitimately turn people away.

I'm aware that people working on behalf of candidates (passing out literature, etc) cannot be within a certain radius of the polling place, but had never heard this extended to the average person who might be wearing candidate paraphernalia.

The e-mail was from a bruh, so I know it wasn't sent to to turn people away; rather to help ensure that people aren't turned away.

Any GC attorneys familiar with election law enough to weigh in on the validity of this?
