Elections - December 2006

Everyone knows that statistics are a powerful persuasion technique. I am writing a paper that would benefit from a statistic of the total number of officials who run for office every two years. The closest I have come to a number is in this quote by former RNC chairman Mehlman: They will vote for 435 Congressmen … 33 Senators … 36 governors … and thousands of state and local offices. Does anyone know how many state and local offices exist in the United States? I will be VERY thankful if anyone can come up with this figure

When it comes to voting in N. Ireland we get to pick which bunch of terriorists we like best, that are supposed to work together to form N. Ireland's own parliment, however they spend all they're time arguing and refusing to sit down and actually do some work like looking after the citizens of N. Ireland. So instead we have all our laws and decisions made by the British government and we can't even vote Labour, Consertive or otherwise, kind of unfair don't you think? Why is this?

I was watching a special on Ed Brooks yesterday and of course fell in love. On both parties, African-Americans are being ignored. Where is the health-care reform? When will urban educational issues become a concern to the government? When will we finally address the plaguing issue of social security? Ed Brooks suggested that perhaps we place our vote with the Republican Party, so that we are not taken for granted.

Far fetched? What do you think??

I'd prefer if only Democrats answered this, but others can feel free. Now of course, Obama has not declared that he will run for president, but I would like to know if among Democrats, would his race play an important part in voting for the Democratic candidate? In addition, if he were selected as the Democratic canditate for president, do you think that this would make the Democratic party lose strength and another Republican president will be elected? I don't know what to think about him, personally. I know that he has a lot of appeal to the African American community, and his meetings have been sold out. Is this due to curiosity or is this genuine interest from actual supporters? What do you all think?

I would like to know if people who were incarcerated at the time of voting, Registered voters' were given the chance to vote, this also affected them and myself, for I am not allowed to smoke at work. I think we should be able to Vote again, since people were lied and didn't understand the smoking ban voting issues. Lacey
