There's a whole lot more!

I've seen some mass emails go by and some shout outs to Pennsylvania Republicans to switch their party registration to Democrat so they can vote for Obama or Hillary. I think that's a bad idea.

I have six reasons why you should keep your registration unchanged:
1. State Attorney General
2. State Auditor General
3. State Treasurer
4. Representative in Congress
5. State Senator (odd-numbered districts)
6. State Representative

If you change your registration to Democrat, then you cannot vote for these races on the Republican ticket. Some of these races might be contested. Do you want to have a say for who represents the Republican party, which aligns more with conservative views than the Dems? Then don't change your registration. And if you're registered as an Independent...well then your opinion doesn't matter a whole lot since you shut yourself out.

Just remember that there's a whole lot more to this election than just a presidential candidate.

Obama - Bipartisan?

No. Obama is the most liberal senator. While in the Illinois state senate, he voted against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act that prohibited anyone from killing an infant that had survived an abortion. His comments speak for themselves:

"How could someone possibly justify such a vote? In March 2001, Obama was the sole speaker in opposition to the bill on the floor of the Illinois Senate. He said: "We're saying they are persons entitled to the kinds of protections provided to a child, a 9-month child delivered to term. I mean, it would essentially bar abortions, because the equal-protection clause does not allow somebody to kill a child." So according to Obama, "they," babies who survive abortions or any other preterm newborns, should be permitted to be killed because giving legal protection to preterm newborns would have the effect of banning all abortions."
