Puerto Rico Statehood-- Another Look

Bouncing off of what Mr. K has written about the subject:

And what the Huffington Post wrote, I'm going to include a short post about some thoughts on the subject.

As for the HuffPo, I would have liked to have seen a more in-depth look. You know, if Puerto Rico does join the union, we might have a few good things:

1. Possible GOP state.

2. Realign GOP with Latinos.

3. Create another (after Cuban) Latino base in the Republican Party.

4. Breaking the magic "50" number might allow states to split-- namely Upstate from Downstate NY.

It's Your Fault

Barack Obama will be the next President.

I could blame the election on Obama supporters. I could blame John McCain. I could blame Barack Obama, but I will not. No, the fault lies with McCain supporters in battleground states that sat on their hands. The election is lost with these people.

Why do I say this? How did I come to this conclusion? Simple. Look at Georgia. The voters their defied the polls and voted for McCain overwhelmingly. The other states were quite underwhelming. Obama supporters did what they were supposed to; they went out and voted. Silent McCain supports, other than the ones with circumstances they couldn't help, lost the election for John McCain.

My family and I all voted for McCain in the incredibly blue state of New York. We were counted. Georgian voters were counted. Were you?

However, despite my fear of Obama and his clearly poor judgement, he will be my President. I cannot disavow my love and pride in this country. Barack Obama will be my President.
