http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/153577
excerpt;

The power of political e-mail and networking.+ world depopulating

http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/09/tech/innovation/obama-data-crunching-election/index.html

excerpt;

But, according to Avila, "Not many on the Republican side know how to technically accomplish that." Their approach to the Web, he adds, is still too much shaped by pre-Internet politicking using broadcast advertising. "The ability to connect to people on a one-to-one basis, and encourage them to connect with one another, is way more powerful than that."

Barack Obama on religion and politics__[more added]

_________________________________________________________________

http://usliberals.about.com/od/faithinpubliclife/a/ObamaReligion.htm

excerpt;
This brings me to my second point. Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific, values. It requires that their proposals be subject to argument, and amenable to reason.
excerpt;
No matter how religious they may or may not be, people are tired of seeing faith used as a tool of attack. They don't want faith used to belittle or to divide. They're tired of hearing folks deliver more screed than sermon. Because in the end, that's not how they think about faith in their own lives.

excerpt;
Since the mothers' own resources are slim to none -- 65% of households headed by women have incomes of less than $20,000 -- the government has to step in. Shawn's delivery entitles his mother to more than $600 a month in food stamps, Medicaid, and Aid to Families with Dependent Children. That places Shawn and his mom at the center of what is shaping up as one of the most important debates of the year: how to make such families self- supporting and reduce swelling welfare outlays, expected to reach $60 billion this year.

I will not miss her

excerpt;
In 2009 Snowe angered many in her party by being the only Republican to vote for Obama's signature healthcare reform bill in the Senate Finance Committee, saying she believed the process should move forward. However, she voted against the bill when it came before the full Senate.

Her vote in the finance committee opened the door for vote buying when it came time for votes in the house and senate.
