Continue reading …Democrats and the Obama Administration are fighting for them, Republicans against : The Justice Department is sending a small pack of election observers to Arizona as Hispanic groups sound the alarm over an anti-illegal immigration group’s mass e-mail seeking to recruit Election Day volunteers to help block illegal immigrants from voting. Hispanic voting rights groups say the e-mail is just an attempt to intimidate minority voters. But election fraud monitors say that there are hundreds of examples of duplicate registrations, wrong information and past unregistered voters getting ballots. No minority voter who is a legitimate citizen of this country has anything to worry about. However, it’s well known that there will be potentially hundreds of thousands if not millions of people casting ballots who do not have a legal right to do so. Early voting and vote-by-mail has made this even more likely since in many cases an individual doesn’t even have to show up to vote. The left will do anything to win and they don’t consider vote fraud to be cheating, illegal or even wrong.

She cued up Democratic Senator Robert Menendez with how Americans don’t recognize the realities of Obama’s achievements so the Democratic shortcoming is not liberal policies but “bad messaging,” while she pressed Republican Senator John Cornyn about whether Republicans “will agree with President Obama's plan to raise taxes on the wealthiest and preserve them for the middle class?” She also fretted that it’s been a “very specific-free, substance-free, content-free election” before she scolded Cornyn for a “racist” ad. Though ABC’s Jonathan Karl on Friday night noted how “a new study of campaign ads finds that more than half of negative Democratic ads [51%] are personal attacks, whereas the overwhelming majority of Republican ads attack Democratic policies [69%],” Amanpour relayed “strong complaints from the Democrats about a lot of the anonymous money that's going on ads.” She then ran a clip of an ad from Republican Senator David Vitter which contended his opponent favors illegal aliens, demanding of Cornyn: “So some people have called that racist. I want to know do you think it's appropriate to finger Hispanics in that way? Do you think it is appropriate?” read more

If we were you, we’d wait and see what kind of deals can be had in-store come November 10th , but if you simply must have one immediately you’ll be able to use it with one of Magenta’s standard mobile broadband plans. $25 a month gets you 200MB with 10-cent-per-megabyte overage fees, whereas $40 buys you unlimited use with a 5GB speed cap , and you can purchase blocks of prepaid data an 100MB, 300MB and 1GB increments at the usual rates. It’s a bit of a shame we’re paying the price of a decent laptop for a seven-inch smartphone sans cellular calls … but you didn’t really need that rent money, right? T-Mobile’s Galaxy Tab available for preorder at Amazon, costs $699 unsubidized originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 31 Oct 2010 16:13:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink
Continue reading …Heard of the FnacBook, Telecom Italia eBook or Thalia Oyo? It’s looking like they’re all one and the same — a Sagem product called the Binder with a six-inch SiPix capacitive e-paper touchscreen. It’s also got the standard accelerometer, 2GB of internal flash, a microSD card slot and support for ePub and PDF, but there’s one feature that sets it apart from the pack: a cellular modem that’ll give FnacBook buyers free 3G service a la the Amazon Kindle’s Whispernet . French carrier SFR is subsidizing that little venture, so it’s not part and parcel of buying into Sagem’s device, but if you find yourself holding onto a different rebrand we suppose you’ll still have 802.11 b/g WiFi for your Steig Larsson downloads. Fnac’s already taking preorders at €199 (about $277); devices ship November 10th. PR after the break.
