Well, you're a Maryland Democrat so you rightfully assume that the Democrats win every election, no matter how badly they perform.

Fortunately for the rest of the country, Maryland is only one small unrepresentative state. Most Americans have far more sense than the average Maryland liberal drone.

Julius Henson, a legendary Baltimore campaign consultant who's been involved in politics for decades, took his seat Monday morning at the defense table to face trial on accusations that he tried to suppress the black vote with shady robo-calls.
In an unusual case of allegedly deceptive and criminal political strategy, the 63-year-old veteran operative is accused of sending out a political robo-call -- an automated telephone call -- to neighborhoods with predominantly black voters in the Maryland 2010 general election. The call, according to prosecutors, wrongly implied the Democratic candidate for governor had already won.
The calls went out to over 110,000 Democratic voters, and the recorded voice said: "Hello. I'm calling to let everybody know that Governor O'Malley and President Obama have been successful. Our goals have been met. The polls were correct, and we took it back. We're okay. Relax. Everything is fine. The only thing left is to watch it on TV tonight. Congratulations, and thank you."

Ohhh, me too! I scared to death this will just rip apart the entire campaign. With the catastrophic week Mitt Romney had so far, I am happy I am an Obama supporter.

OBAMA FOR RE-ELECTION

PS We are not assuming to have won anything but you have to admit it's funny to read a post like this after the latest developments in the Romney campaign.

Why do people not bother to check and see if what they want to post has already been posted or not?

It isn't going to rip apart the campaign, but it is pathetic and it shows desparation....Everyday the Dems come out with one more damaging story. Where in the world are you getting the idea it has been a bad week for Romney????

"Brevard Community College has received complaints alleging politically-based inappropriate behavior on the part of Associate Professor Sharon Sweet, an instructor of mathematics.

The allegations center on her soliciting support in her classes for President Obama in the upcoming election.

College officials learned of the allegations Thursday afternoon, Sept. 13, following a call from a concerned parent and immediately began an investigation.

The College has specific policies that address the political activities of faculty and staff, which state that no College employee shall solicit support for a political candidate during regular College work hours or on College property.

Based on the allegations, Associate Professor Sweet has requested, and been granted, a leave of absence without pay effective immediately.

The College will continue its investigation into the matter, which will include interviews with all students in her classes.

Additionally, the College is taking steps to reiterate its policy on political activity to all faculty and staff.

For questions, contact John Glisch, Associate Vice President for Communications, at (321) 433-7017, or glischj@brevardcc.edu "

I am a Democrat, lifelong (growing up with Nixon will do that to ya) and some would consider me a liberal (I don't).
This is so wrong. Isn't it illegal or something? Certainly must be against college policy, if nothing else. Whoever is paying for these class tuitions (student or parents or loans) should sue. Really.
This woman gives liberals a bad name. She isn't liberal, she's a whack job.
