Analysis of CNN.com #1/One story many angles

Continuing with the theme of the election cnn.com has there whole site dedicated to election coverage today.

Yes it is election day and you would expect them to focus on the election, but what about the rest of the news.

There is not one single other story to be found on the site. What happens if I want to take a look at another story, do I have to go to another website.

If you would like to see any other news you can go all the way down to the bottom of the page and click a pretty inconspicuous link called more news.

The election coverage however is outstanding and looks at every angle you could think of.

Local sports in full swing

The Miami Dolphins are coming off a huge win in Denver against the Broncos. The Miami Hurricanes football team is playing solid and have a shot t win the ACC. They just had a big come from behind win the other day in overtime against Virginia. The Miami Heat have a a new look and are on a mission. They "have something to prove" as their new ad campaign states. Their draft of Michael Beasley is paying off already even though this team has a long way to go. All in all the local teams are all doing more this year then in years past and hopefully the fans will enjoy this success.

Another election day issue.

This isn't an issue that will be voted on today, but it is something that just boils my blood. I was having a conversation with someone from somewhere other than the US. They were telling me that they were taking a trip back to their country of orgin. They said once they get there all they will hear about is the the failure of America as far as the economy as well as all the other problems that go along with that. This is when I snapped I said this is what is wrong with America. Too many other people rely on us and it has got to stop. I am so sick of all these people around the world with their hands out looking for Uncle Sam to break them off. We as a nation need to become stronger from within and that means helping people out right here on our own soil and stop giving everybody and their mother around the world anything else. I am so angry right now just writing about this. It is due time to refocus our efforts on ourselves!

Amendment 2

While I am on the subject of voting lets discuss Amendment 2 which puts the issue of Gay marriage on the ballot and wants you to decide whether or not it should be legal. Even though in my opinion I think marriage is something between a man and a woman, I think that people should be able to do whatever they want. When it comes to key issues of freedoms there is always governmental regulations. People should be able to make their own decisions without the involvement of the government. This country is supposed to be the land of the free. It is not right this country has become a wasteland and other countries that have never been half as good as we are are catching up and it is disgusting to watch this. So let gay people do whatever they want and concentrate on real issues that affect the life blood of this country!

Local battles for Congress

The presidential election isn't the only thing people are voting for today in Miami-Dade county at least. There are three key congressional races. Two of them involve brothers. The Diaz-Balart brothers are each taking on respective opponents. Lincoln is up against Raul Martinez and Mario's opponent is Joe Garcia. These brothers are incumbents and republicans. They are said to be associated with George Bush and this might hurt their re-election efforts. One thing that is favorable for Lincoln is that his opponent Martinez, the former mayor of Hialeah is a crooked as Lombardi Street in San Francisco. This may be the only thing that will keep Lincoln in office. The last race is another republican incumbent Ileana Ros-Leintenen taking on Annette Tadeo. Ros-Leintenen has been around for a good number of years and I don't think that she is going anywhere despite a nice effort by Tadeo. This election day is going to be very interesting on a national and a local front.

Election day is here

This is it the day we have all been waiting for. It all started over a year and a half ago when these candidates first hit the campaign trail. No matter who wins today: this has to be considered the most historic election ever. Record numbers of people are going to vote this year and that just shows us how significant this election is in American history.

Trick or Treat...

It was a treat this year for baseball fans in Philadelphia. Their Phillies dismantled the Tampa Bay Rays 4 to 1 in the World Series earlier this week. Even so this may have been one of the lowest rated fall classics in a long time. Nobody was really interested in either of these teams. Neither of these teams are a big draw on a national scale. The one thing that people will remember it for was the fact that the last game had to be stopped due to rain in the 6th inning and played subsequently 2 nights later. That is something that doesn't happen and it was unprecedented that it did. It was game 5 and the score was tied at 2 when play resumed and shortly after that point it was all over for the Rays. The State of Florida would not have a world champ at least for this calendar year.
