Wonder where and how Obama's people will do the recruiting and community organizing to herd all these first time voters into the Obama voting machine.

Prof Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul MN has compiled some interesting stats on the 2008 Presidential election:

Number of States won: Obama: 19 McCain: 29
Square miles of land won: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000
Population of counties won: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.

Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."

That's roughly 40%, he points out. But, to make doubly sure, Obama wants to increase the dependency numbers, and grant voting rights for illegal immigrants. Don't even get me started on their redistricting efforts to change the electoral votes in Democrats' favor.

Hopefully, those who voted for Obama and are now disappointed will be sufficient in numbers to offset the new crop of misled dreamers.

^ The only people disappointed with Obama are FAUX News viewers and racists! President Obama won the states with the most electoral votes so your stats are meaningless! I am not low income or survive off the Government either!Is California or New York a "low" income state?
