On Maps, Coups and Divisions
Some of the search engine terms people use to find Politics 2000 are very amusing. Others are quite astute.
how much do escorts earn
A lot of you are asking about becoming escorts. Prostitution is illegal in most of the United States and in many other parts of the world. You should check local laws. Escorts can earn a lot of money. That’s one reason some people decide to leave jobs they consider dead-end. You should be sure escorting is something you want to do. You’ll be happier if your loved ones support you since being alone in a decision can be quite difficult.
electoral map
It’s hard to say much about the electoral map for the 2012 presidential election until after the 2010 census. Elections held in the next 12 months or so will be contested using electoral maps from the 2000 census. Understanding the makeup of the district or region in which your favorite candidate is running is extremely important. Getting 100 percent of the vote is impossible so focus on gathering around 57 to 60 percent of the balloting.
in politics, one’s friends and one’s enemies are often the same
Interesting phrase. Nowhere is that more true at the moment than within the Democratic Party when talking about health care reform. The Blue Dogs want a measured approach to altering the health care system because their constituents will bristle at sweeping change. The more liberal Democrats represent people who are demanding fundamental differences, not a little tinkering at the margins.
presidential coup
There have been a few of those lately. Guinea-Bissau and Honduras come to mind. Afghanistan is having elections today. Fingers crossed the results are fair, no matter the outcome.
I’ll continue Friday. I like the new every-other-day format. I think I post regularly enough to keep you visiting often. Posting on odd-numbered days is easier for remember.
