What are your thoughts on all-time country great Hank Williams, Jr. running for a seat in the US Senate (as a Republican) in the next primary elections?

Well not just yet anyway, but currently Senator Ted Stevens has a slim lead for his seat in the U.S. Senate despite the fact he was convicted on multiple felony counts of corruption in October. The race for his seat came down to a 3300 point lead, which means the absentee ballots (many of which may have come before the conviction) must be counted to decide this race. If Senator Stevens maintains his lead, but then resigns his seat on the U.S. Senate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin would temporarily take his seat until a run-off election can be held for which she would must likely take part in. The very real possibility of Governor Palin becoming the next Senator from Alaska is quite possible. Form there…who knows really. If she manages to make enough of a name for herself she may very well try and make a Presidential run in 2012 of 2016.

By now you’ve probably heard that Obama’s top choices for his administration are more than likely going to come from Clinton’s administration. Well, according to a PDF document on CSPN.org (http://www.c-span.org/pdf/transition.pdf) Obama and Biden have named numerous people to head the transition into their administration.

• Carol Browner: Served as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency during the Clinton Administration
• William Daley: Served as Secretary of Commerce in the second administration of President Bill Clinton
• Christopher Edley: He served as an advisor to President Clinton’s One America Initiative, was a member of the United States Commission on Civil Rights, and chaired President Clinton’s 1998 Affirmative Action Review.
• Michael Froman: From January 1977 to July 1999, Froman served as Chief of Staff of the Department of the Treasury…again, the Clinton Administration.

Think again, even in the state California who helped elect Democratic Senator from Illinois, Barack Obama a proposition was passed to eliminate the rights of same-sex couples to marry. While its true the measure passed by a slim margin its proof that this country still leans right of center. Over $70 million was spent to support Prop 8.

California Proposition 8 Results

• YES: 52.2%
  • 5,220,694
• NO: 47.8%
  • 4,792,873

Senator John McCain gave in my opinion one of the best concession speeches in recent history in the last hour. McCain made certain we should be reminded that we are all Americans and we must unite behind our new leader. I was not surprised by the grace of his speech but still pleasantly pleased with his words.

President Elect Barack Obama gave his acceptance speech as the clock turned to midnight on the east coast. He did a great job of remembering how he got there, and was as charismatic as he has been for 21 months now. He asked us to pull together as one nation and one people. He reminded us the government cannot fix all of our problems as a nation. As I’ve said already I wish him luck and plan to keep him to his words.

Do you know who your president is? It seems for the first time in United States history an African American President has been elected. This formally little know candidate form Illinois, born in Hawaii will become the 44th President. This is an amazing victory for all American’s and wether or not you voted for Obama he is new leader of our country, or at least he will be in 2 short months.

I congratulate the President Elect and am now in the hopes he will lead our country through what will be one of the hardest if not the absolute hardest presidential terms. Our economy is in turmoil, we are at war and most of the world doesn’t really like us. So I say to you Barack Obama. Make your country proud. I look forward to 4 years of history in the making, and am proud to say that in my lifetime I took part in the election that brought our first minority President. I wasn’t alive when Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. gave his I have a dream speech, but I can tell my grandchildren in 30 or 40 years I was alive for this and I took part.

I would also like to say that John McCain is deserving of our respect and admiration, politics aside he has in the past served our country well in the Senate and in times of war. I expect no less of him as he makes his way back to Washington to continue that service to me and my country. I was happy to see the voter turnout we had this election and now that the campaigns are done we need to quickly move forward. And politicalprowess.com is going to keep pushing Washington to make "Change We Need." My only fear is the heavy balance of power that is now in place. So I heed warning to any who listen. We can’t just celebrate this victory we must all continue to hold politicians in Washington to the highest standard we can possibly hold them too.

Well ok, I admit not every state. But McCain wins Alabama and South Carolina with no real return form from voting. And Obama wins Pennsylvania  with a whopping 1% returned.   So as I write this article its Obama 174 to McCain 49 in the electoral votes, but to be honest I can’t say who has what because exit polls aside the fact remains that the largest single state return at the moment is still less than 50% with many returns under 25%.
