Who Would You Picnic With- McCain, Obama or Clinton?
Quinipiac University in Connecticut has come up with one of the most intriguing polls of the campaign so far. They asked a nationwide sampling of voters which one of the three Presidential candidates they would like to spend a Memorial Day picnic with, John McCain, Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.
The way they posed the question is just as interesting as the results. They put it this way “Regardless of how you intend to vote, whom would you rather chat with at a Memorial Day picnic – Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or John McCain?” and these are the results they got.
Most of the voters, 35% said they would like to spend Memorial Day with Barack Obama. That breaks down to 35% of the men and 34% of the women. John McCain is the next favorite, with 33% including 41% of the men and 265 of the women, much more of a gender gap than with Obama. Hillary Clinton has 27% who would like to spend Memorial Day with her including 20% of the men and 33% of the women, not surprising since her support has come mostly from women.
There are some more interesting facts that come out in this poll also. For instance, Clinton has 43% of the Democrats, 12% of the Republicans and 20% of the independents who would like to chat with her at a Memorial Day picnic. That includes 27% of the white voters and 20% of the black voters.
With Obama, it is 14% of the Republicans , 44% of the Democrats and 43% of the independents including 28% of the white voters and 74% of the black voters.
With McCain, it is 69% of the Republicans, 11% of the Democrats and 31% of the independents including 40% of the white voters and 3% of the Black voters.
Even though the question did not focus on who the respondents were going to vote for, the results do show where each candidates weakness is. For instance, just 3% of the black voters would want to spend time with John McCain. If that figure relates to how many would vote for him, it can spell big trouble. Obama is the candidate with the greatest discrepancy in ethnic voters and Clinton is the candidate with the least.
Another interesting fact is the cross over vote. It is almost identical for all three candidates – 11% of the Democrats would spend time with McCain, 12% of the Republicans with Clinton and 14% of the Republicans with Obama.
The importance of the independent vote cannot be understated. Obama would attract 43% of the independents, McCain 315 and Clinton 20%.
I wonder what the results would be if Ron Paul and some of the third party candidates were included. So which one would you pick and would it be the one you are planing to vote for?

“Obama would attract 43% of the independents, McCain 315 and Clinton 20%”…since when did comparing absoulte numbers with percentages become fair game?
Comment by Presidential Candidates on 25 May 2008:
I’m assuming he meant 31.5% for McCain?
Comment by Merkhava on 13 June 2008:
Why such closed minded choices? I prefer to picnic with someone who isn’t part of “The Family” if you really know what I mean. Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich would be men worthy of my time. Those others can go keep kissing Rockefeller’s arse for all I care.

Golf Core Exercises For More Power
Golf core exercises. You hear that phrase more and more on the television by the commentators referring to the area of the body most of the touring pros focus on [url=http://www.cheapgolfforsale.com/goods-480-TaylorMade+R9+Irons.html][b]TaylorMade R9 irons[/b][/url] with their golf trainers to improve their power output and prevent low back injuries.
Core training is the buzzword even in the general fitness world. There are specific classes in the local fitness centers for core training. There are different pieces of equipment that are used in every one of these classes. Some use the bosu ball, others use a [url=http://www.cheapgolfforsale.com/goods-598-Taylormade+R9+Forged+Irons+.html][b]Taylormade R9 Forged Irons[/b][/url] stability ball, and many use exercise tubing or weights.
Vijay Singh for example uses weighted [url=http://www.cheapgolfforsale.com/goods-527-Callaway+X-24+Hot+Irons.html]Callaway X-24 Hot Irons [/url] medicine balls with his trainer to work his golf core muscles throughout the whole week of the tournament. He does hundreds of throws from different angles and body positions to challenge not only his core strength, but stabilization, balance and coordination.
If I am not correct his caddie is his trainer on [url=http://www.cheapgolfforsale.com/goods-290-Callaway+X-22+Iron+Set.html]Callaway X-22 Irons Set[/url] occasion! How convenient! The best of both worlds! Although most people don’t want to see their trainer after a tough workout…Vijay is the exception to the rule.
Hearing the phrase golf core exercises, and knowing what your core is are two different things entirely. As a [url=http://www.cheapgolfforsale.com/goods-552-Mizuno+MX-1000+Irons.html][b]Mizuno MX-1000 Irons[/b][/url] fitness professional…it’s easy for me to throw out that phrase often to impress would-be clients or customers to my golf fitness training products.
But that’s not the case. Understanding what your core is and how it plays a critical role in producing maximum power; injury prevention and even stability is very important. Once you know…you’ll soon realize this may be your missing link to a great [url=http://www.cheapgolfforsale.com/goods-461-Mizuno+MP58+irons.html]Mizuno MP 58 irons[/url] game.
This area (core) starts roughly at your belly button and goes up to the bottom of your sternum. It is the engine of your body and awareness of your core affects golf the most. Think of it as the link in the chain that needs to be the strongest, not the weakest.
Two simple core training exercises for golf that will quickly strengthen your core is ab crunches and back extensions. These would be your initial exercises to give you the strength to move [url=http://www.cheapgolfforsale.com/goods-476-Mizuno+MX-200+Irons+.html]Mizuno MX-200 Irons[/url] onto rotational exercises that put a little more stress on your spine if the muscles aren’t conditioned enough.
Once you’ve accomplished the above exercises, you can move on to a crunch with a twist and a back extension with a twist. This will hit your rotational strength right away…which will quickly equate to greater power output and distance.
You can then progress up to standing on your feet doing several different variations of rotational movements with a [url=http://www.cheapgolfforsale.com/goods-433-TaylorMade+R9+460+Driver.html]TaylorMade R9 460 Driver[/url] single dumbbell, standing upright and also in your golf posture.
Core exercises for golf are very effective when you get into motions with rotation, resistance and balance. This is called golf specific training, and is the only way to go if you want to see improvement in your golf swing and overall performance.
Now that you have a basic understanding of [url=http://www.cheapgolfforsale.com/goods-457-Mizuno+MP-68+Irons.html]Mizuno MP-68 Irons[/url] core exercises…you hopefully will see how important it is in your overall golf improvement plan. Next time you hear that phrase on the television, you’ll know what golf core exercises are.

Comment by Acekard 2i on 23 March 2011:
The Acekard 2i uses a spring mechanism to load the Micro-SD card slot which is occasionally frowned upon by the community as being less reliable than a standard push slot. About 2-3% of Acekard 2i’s will have a small problem with the spring but purchasing the card from any reliable retailer should alleviate any anxiety someone may have about making a purchase.

Go to the increasing manufacturers of fashionable diesel jeans .The skinny jeans are a brand new addition incorporating completely different metallic elaborations and cuts. Diesel Loose Jeans have lately exploded into the Diesel Jeans Kids market and are thought-about as one of the best luxury items. Even the excessive street designers have started to make the Diesel jeans men and they look equally nearly as good as the unique designer diesel jeans uk aside from the price which is way more inexpensive than the original.
