Vote Count Carnival
Republican Marc Spitzer, a former state Senate leader from Arizona who now works in Washington as the commissioner of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, said that a historic event was unfolding outside the Marriott where Democrats were meeting. Spitzer woke up his son Ben, 12, at dawn to bring him downtown to watch the protests. Ben, who was posing for a picture with a protestor dressed as Uncle Sam when he was interviewed by NEWSWEEK, said, "Some countries like Saudi Arabia, they don't really have a democracy, and this kind of makes me realize some of the great things I have in America like the freedom of assembly and stuff."
Two foreign visitors who observed the protest from the balcony of another hotel across the street said nothing about such lofty ideals. Constance Bastiaans and John Human, visiting from Namibia for a telecommunications conference, were amused by the political theater on display. "It's a bit weird, but I like it," Bastiaans, 44, said. Human chimed in, saying that politics in Namibia is nowhere near as emotional. "Definitely we would not have, in one party, a race like this," he said. "It is normally our carnival that looks like this."

Comment: IMPORTANT BULLETIN FOR ALL BLOGGERS ON THIS SITE:
TO NEWSWEEK STAFF:
This is to report that there is a FRAUD going on, on this site, in which bloggers are using the names of various bloggers (Obama supporters are most likely the culprits) who are fraudulently writing blogs that are deplorable and tagging them under other bloggers names (non-Obama supporters names). I officially reported such a fraudulent abusive use of fake postings that I just viewed on this site today that affected me personally. This is what it said in which the blogger fraudulently used my name as the poster:
IT SAID THIS. I NEVER WROTE THIS. SO ALL OTHER POSTERS, ESPECIALLY FORMER HILLARY SUPPORTERS, BEWARE:

Comment: I agree. So why do so many Obama supporters make him out to be a Messiah?
I NEVER wrote the above comment or ANY mention of Obama being a Messiah. At this point I am ready to bring this abusive process that you are using on your site to FOX NEWS as I have done this before and they are very responsive. I have copied this report to send onto the media if I dont see a stop to the smearing of my name or others on this site moving forward!
