GO check it out. You’ll love it.

Earlier I reported that I would be in Ohio for election night. That plan has slightly changed, however, and I’ll now be reporting live from Manchester New Hampshire.

As some of you know, I’m planning on covering live 2008 election results with a heavy emphasis on vote fraud leading up to the vote tally.

The main reasons for the change are as follows.

1) Ohio has one of the BEST bloggers in the business, Maggie Thurber, already on the ground hitting heavy on vote fraud and election coverage. Plus, good friend Warner Todd Huston will be on the ground in Columbus to blog the events as they unfold.

I felt I needed to be somewhere that needed a blogger who could go “full time” for the three days leading up to the election, and New Hampshire fit the bill.

2) I’ll already be in Pennsylvania this weekend, so a Southwest hop up to New Hampshire is cheap, fast, and sensible.

3) It’s the FREE STATE!

So, that being said, I’ll be blogging live here on my personal blog, over at Conservablogs.com, and at Votefraudsquad.com.

Today I was accused of being a supporter of voter suppression because I posted a story about ACORN and their employees who commit voter registration fraud.

I’m not really a video and picture friendly dude, so this is something I need to take some time with to get comfortable doing it. Yes, I finally made a vlog post.

I shot this clip early this morning after flying in to Columbus, Ohio. Picked up the rental car and attached the camera to the emergency brake handle. I’ll make plenty more so stay tuned for new videos.

I usually don’t re-print emails, but this one was well worth noting. It’s origin can be found here.

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
Secretary of the Treasury
Attn: Mr. Henry Paulson

Dear Secretary Paulson,

Hi, my name is Michael and I have a problem. As you can see in the above graph, the 7.5 favorite New York Giants lost outright to the Cleveland Browns, leaving me in quite a financial hole and I was hoping that the Federal Government would see fit to bail me out of my predicament and settle up with “my man” Louie “The Hammer”.

You see Sir, I have no means to pay off my debt, as I was in no position to risk the kind of money I did in the first place, but somehow I still managed to accumulate such a large debt.

It all started when I received an email from a “Sports Handicapping Service”, which not only guaranteed that they had the winner in last nights Monday Night Football game, but offered me this “lock” and the opportunity to “Beat My Man”, without any money down, and I only pay them if I win, which, as I stated above, they guaranteed.

What a deal for someone who can’t afford it any other way. How can I refuse!!.

But wait, it gets better, with just one phone call, and NO MONEY down, the sky is the limit with “my man.” Not only did I need to win enough for myself, but I had to cover the Sports Service for their sure thing, can’t lose lock: The New York Giants -7 1/2 points!

So, I admit, I went in a little over my head, and risked more then I could afford, (a lot more actually, since the terms of the deal were so favorable to me), and now I have Louie “The Hammer” calling me to make payment arrangements on my lost investment.

The Sports Handicapping Service, which offered me this great deal, and guaranteed a victory, is not returning my phone calls and now time is running out.

So, if you would Mr. Paulson, please cut me a check and mail it to the address provided.

I really appreciate this “Bookie Bailout” and I hope to do better next time, but I feel confident and secure in the knowing that if I fail, my Government will be there to bail me out!

Thank you!

Michael

The Drudge Report, a news aggregation site started by Matt Drudge, has come to be known as the top source for breaking news on the web. The site enjoys millions of visitors, and a link from the Drudge Report can instantly fry unsuspecting servers, rendering sites unable to cope with the barrage of traffic.

The Drudge Report has had tremendous success in helping internet news junkies cut through the clutter and get directly to the hottest news of the moment. That being said, the site is heavy on national issues, which causes a lot of local stories to remain lost in the rough sea of online information.

There is good news, though, because Drudge like sites are beginning to flourish using a state based model. There is the Dead Pelican, for example, which serves the state of Louisiana as the top news aggregation site for state related news and issues.

The Dead Pelican is no small player, either. The site is already able to direct thousands of visits to any given webpage with a simple link, and traffic numbers appear to be climbing with each new day.

Today after speaking on a panel here at AFP’s Defending the Dream Summit, the editor for Colorado’s new Complete Colorado approached me about some ideas for integrating social media into the marketing plan for the site.

Like the Drudge Report and the Dead Pelican, Complete Colorado has editors constantly monitoring the news across the state waiting for top stories to cross the wires. It’s a great place to get breaking news stories, and I think the site holds much promise.

Are these state based sites based on the Drudge model going to be the next big wave in disseminating news on a local level? Only time will tell… but they sure are making some waves to date.
