By Earnest Gates Could Wisconsin be the new Ohio? Wisconsin’s Attorney General J. B. Van Hollen, is also co-chair for the McCain-Palin campaign in Wisconsin. Sound familiar? After returning from the Republican National Convention, Van Hollen filed a lawsuit that sought to force Wisconsin elected officials to cross-check new voter...
By Earnest Gates We all have been following this election for the past 20 months. We have seen Senator Barack Obama go from a long shot to the presumptive nominee to the first African American Presidential candidate in the history of this country. It has been a long ride. The...
