Students for McCain
John McCain's presidential campaign sent out a news release listing the leadership of his "STUDENTS FOR MCCAIN-PALIN" group. An NCA&T student was featured in a quote:
TALLAHASSEE, FL -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced its North Carolina Students for McCain-Palin Leadership. The leadership team will direct grassroots operations in North Carolina, communicate John McCain's message of peace, prosperity and reform, and encourage students to follow John McCain's example of serving a cause greater than one's self."I support John McCain because he has vigorously opposed pork-barrel spending throughout his tenure in the House and Senate," said Daniel Davis, North Carolina Students for McCain State Chair and School Chair for North Carolina A&T State University. "He has the judgment and experience to safeguard our hard-earned tax-dollars, balance our budget and repair the economy."
John McCain thanked the student leadership in the Southeast Region, saying, "Young Americans understand that true happiness is much greater than the pursuit of pleasure, and can only be found by serving causes greater than self-interest. I am very proud of these students and of their support, and I appreciate the time and effort they have dedicated to my campaign."
Other local students listed in the group include:
Davidson College -- Mary Ross Bryant
North Carolina A&T State University -- Daniel Davis
University of North Carolina at Greensboro -- Jamie Freeze
Wake Forest University -- Ben Lynch (Co-Chair)
Wake Forest University -- Jordan "Paige" Fitzgerald (Co-Chair)
What, no Guilford or Greensboro College reps?

Besides the obvious concern about the qualifications of Obama, this election is about which way the country will go. Socialism(Democrats) or Capitalism(Republicans). Obama plans to give your hard earned tax dollars to 100 million American who do not have to pay taxes or do not have to file taxes. This is not a tax cut but a welfare cheque. He does not want to give small or large businesses a tax break but wants to raise business and corporate taxes. This will never produce a single job. He plans to put the Unions in charge of education and increase the size of government and its control over peoples lives and earnings. He wants to renegotiate the free trade agreements, because the unions with their ever increasing demands have made it harder for American corporations and small businesses to compete with global trading partners. He wants to talk, with out any conditions to radical Muslim terrorists and dictators from Cuba, South America and Europe. He wants to jump into a new and prolonged war of 10, 15 or 25 years in Afghanistan, without any time frame or exit strategy.
Barack Hussein Obama is a lawyer with no historical perspective, but with great rhetoric and hype of hope and change. He is social worker (community organizer) and a junior legislator of less than 2 years, who votes present 40% of the time and votes 100% along party lines. He or Biden do not have the biography or experience or a record of change. No change, with zero accomplishments. Both might make better stay at home dads.
Obama’s wife until recently was not proud of America and he is connected with the corrupt Chicago Daley gang; for 20 years had an infamous racist narcissistic spiritual adviser; has close ties with two convicted felons Tony Rezko (www.suntimes.com/.../353829,CST-NWS-rez23.article) and Williams Ayers an unrepentant radical terrorist who bombed government buildings. He has never been vetted by the news media. Not the time for 4 years of on the job training program for Obama. Keep smiling…..

Hmm....that last blog comment doesn't really speak to the post in question and seems to be reproduced verbatim from at least one other blog post: http://hrblogs.typepad.com/the_shad_plank/2008/09/doug-wilder-isn.html
Is it possible this represents astroturfing rather than genuine political discourse? Yup:
