pass' auf, was du sagst, diese Evangelikalen sind bewaffnet...

Wasilla is home to 9,780 people, hundreds of small businesses, a dozen evangelical Christian churches, and a handful of gun stores. The churches are places where many of the faithful see signs that judgment day cannot be far away and where the infallibility of the Bible is rarely, if ever, questioned. The gun stores are places where you can pick up the new Ruger 10/22 carbine, the one that comes in bright pink with a 10-round magazine - "perfect for your wife or daughter".
(...)
When Palin was 12 she was born again, and was baptised in the frigid waters of one of the half-dozen lakes around Wasilla. From that day, and throughout her time as mayor, she and her mother worshipped at the Assembly of God, a Pentecostal church where some members of the congregation speak in tongues, and where the current pastor is on record as saying he believes that the end of the world is nigh.
(...)
She says she believes creationism should be taught alongside evolution, and says abortion is an "atrocity" that should be permitted only when the life of the mother is at stake.

Hier würden diese Kirchen wohl schon auf der Liste des Verfassungsschutzes stehen

Ich sehe keine Chance mehr für McCain und Palin, das Rennen zu gewinnen. Er kann seine liberalen Seiten nicht durchsetzen und steht in letzter Zeit nur im Schatten anderer Leute und Ereignisse. Und die Frau ist nach einem kurzem steilen Aufstieg offenbar schon wieder auf der Abschußrampe. Die Partei braucht neue Wahlstrategen. Mit Soap-Operas kommt man nur im TV zu Quoten, und selbst dort nicht immer.

Tja, irgendwie kommt mir die Obama-Kampagne dann doch moderner und professioneller daher:

Echte Obama-Werbung im Videospiel "Burnout Paradise" (Xbox 360):

And the game publisher has confirmed (...) that that's an official Obama ad, placed by the campaign.

President-Elect Barack Obama:

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled ... Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.

It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.

I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.

I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation's next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House. And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to it belongs to you.

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.

It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth. This is your victory.

I know you didn't do this just to win an election and I know you didn't do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college. There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you we as a people will get there.

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without you.

So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.

Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, "We are not enemies, but friends,though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection." And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too.

And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world ... our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down ... we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.

For that is the true genius of America ... that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing ... Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.

She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons ... because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America, the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.

At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.

America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves – if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

Yes We Can. Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.

Die Wahlbeteiligung ist der Website RealClearPolitics zufolge diesmal so hoch gewesen wie seit hundert Jahren nicht mehr. Eine Rekordzahl von 66 Prozent der US-Wahlberechtigten gingen wählen, so viele wie seit 1908 nicht mehr, wie die unabhängige Wahl-Website am Mittwoch mitteilte. Bei der Wahl des Demokraten John F. Kennedy zum US-Präsidenten im Jahr 1960 lag die Wahlbeteiligung bei 63,1 Prozent. 2004, als der republikanische Amtsinhaber George W. Bush für seine zweite Amtszeit gewählt wurde, gaben nur 55,3 Prozent der Wahlberechtigten ihre Stimme ab.

Lustiges von The Onion:

"Gemäß einer CNN-Nachwahlbefragung sagten 42% der Wähler, dass die nationale Finanzkrise schließlich so furchterregend geworden sei, dass dahinter solche Bedenken wie die Schwulenehe verblasst seien, während 30% sagten, dass der unbarmherzige "body count", die Anzahl der Todesopfer im Irak mindestens grauenvoll genug sei, um langwierige Debatten über Abtreibung aufzuwiegen. Hinzu kommen 28% der Wähler, die, wie gemeldet wurde, zu beschäftigt damit waren, ihre Arztrechnungen zu bezahlen, verzweifelt versuchten, ihr Haus zu behalten oder ihre allgemeine Zukunft den Bach runtergehen sahen, um Obama noch länger abzulehnen."

"According to a CNN exit poll, 42 percent of voters said that the nation's financial woes had finally become frightening enough to eclipse such concerns as gay marriage, while 30 percent said that the relentless body count in Iraq was at last harrowing enough to outweigh long ideological debates over abortion. In addition, 28 percent of voters were reportedly too busy paying off medial bills, desperately trying not to lose their homes, or watching their futures disappear to dismiss Obama any longer."

kleiner joke gefällig?

George W. Bush fährt mit seinem Chauffeur übers Land.
Plötzlich wird ein Huhn überfahren. Wer soll es aber dem Bauern beibringen?
Bush großmütig zu seinem Chauffeur: "Lassen Sie mich mal machen. Ich bin der mächtigste Mann der Welt. Der Bauer wird's verstehen."
Gesagt, getan. Nach einer Minute kommt Bush atemlos zurückgehetzt: Blaues Auge, Oberkiefer lädiert, den Hintern reibend. "Schnell weg hier!"
Die beiden fahren weiter.
Plötzlich wird ein Schwein überfahren. Bush schaut ängstlich zum Chauffeur: "Jetzt gehen aber Sie!"
Der Chauffeur geht zum Bauernhof. Bush wartet 10 Minuten, 20 Minuten, ... Nach einer Stunde erscheint der Chauffeur singend, freudestrahlend, die Taschen voller Geld und einen dicken Schinken unter dem Arm.
Fragt ihn Bush: "Was haben Sie dem Bauern denn gesagt?"
"Guten Tag. Ich bin der Fahrer von George Bush. Das Schwein ist tot!"
