SANTA FE, New Mexico (CNN) – For The New Mexico Sun News it is either a major scoop or “Dewey Beats Truman” déjà vu 60 years later.
“Obama Wins!” is the headline of the edition on newsstands now, complete with “special collector’s edition” in red bold typeface.
The Sun News is a bi-monthly newspaper and its Oct 26-Nov 8 issue had to hit the streets, and the newsstands, before the election. So the editors decided to make a leap of faith and declare Democrat Barack Obama the winner.
In an article explaining their choice, the editors unabashedly wrote, “When it comes to calling the winner of a presidential election, everyone wants to be first. The New Mexico Sun News hereby claims that achievement.”
In its tongue-in-cheek style, the article went on to note the newspaper has a goal of reaching one million readers with each edition, but prints just 10,000 copies of each of its issues.
So, “each copy must be read by 100 different and distinct people. This places an enormous burden on our intrepid readers. However, it is a burden that we must insist you carry. So, please, read quickly, care for the physical condition of the paper and pass it on to your next chosen reader.”
The liberal leaning alternative newspaper ended by imploring its readers to get out and vote, “even if we did spoil the ending for you.”

The comments in this link are from total stupid ignorant people..half their comments don't have anything to back them up.. One gal liked Obama and voted early because she liked what he did with his campaign solicitations and that he is married to Michelle ( a smart and intelligent lady.. And she didn't like McCain because he left his first wife.
What f***** ever!! ::) ::) ::) ::)
Has the whole world gone stupid?

Watch the movie "Being There" with Peter Sellers. It's really not that far from the current Obama phenomenon.

Unfortunately the general public operates on emotion and are by in large led by the herd mentality. Thus the tendandency of most to take the path of least resistance and lean towards those promising to bring peace and prosperity to them rather that them working their butts off to find their own peace and prosperity.
Then, once they get what they think they want, they become once again dissatisfied and lean the other direction of another leader making false promises.
