Interview: McCain Political Director Mike DuHaime
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- I'm here at Hofstra University, the site of the final presidential debate, and just had the chance to speak with Mike DuHaime, political director for the McCain campaign.
He had the following to say:
On what 2004 Kerry states the McCain campaign still feels it can flip this year: Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, and the split electoral vote from Maine's 2nd Congressional District.
On why McCain has poured so much money into Iowa and Minnesota even though polls don't give McCain much of a chance: "They are states that are historically close," DuHaime said. Also, he said the campaign's internal polls show the race in those states to be narrower than the public polls suggest.
On which Bush 2004 states they feel most comfortable in, and which they feel will be most difficult: He said they would be best positioned in the traditional Republican states of Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, Virgina, and Florida. He said the Democratic registration advantage would make New Mexico difficult, and he also described Colorado and Nevada as "tough states" that would be decided by a few points either way.
On whether McCain should make the case for divided government in the closing weeks: "I think it resonates with some people; I don’t think it’s a macro argument," he said. He went on to explain that Obama's recent comments to a plumber in Ohio that he wants to use the tax code to "spread the wealth" makes the prospect of unified Democratic government especially frightening. "I think that should alarm some people," DuHaime said. "Having that kind of philosophy about government and then having Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in charge of both houses of Congress, that should be scary.”
On conservatives who have problems with McCain's recent populist proposals on government renegotiation of mortgages to prevent foreclosures: "For economic conservatives it's a no-brainer to be with McCain in terms of free market principles, lower taxes, halting spending.”

TO THE NEXT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NEW PRESIDENT:
SIR:
"MAY I CALL YOU "O" ?"
Because of MAIN STREET !
Because of WALL STREET !
Because of the final electoral sprint - ending soon next coming november 2008 - while THE WHOLE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA has its eyes on YOU.
Everyone expects You to be democratically elected and see that something happen in America.
In March 1983, one of humanity's most famous spokesmen, Pope John Paul II, came to our country - 'Haîti' - and loudly proclaimed what each and every one of us had been whispering:
"Something must change here !"
Today, more than ever, a lot of people of The United States of America stand up, longing for something and working to make something happen.
"Go thou America ahead and show us thy true countenance in a positive light.' It is up to everyone to play his or her part in order to let thee regain thy mark of excellence !"
With this letter, I am communicating with You, SIR, and with the whole people of The United States of America.
You offer this country what it takes to be a 'Wonderfull Land.' Yes, let us say 'with a great people living and working together.'
Go thou, America, go ahead, following in the footsteps of one of thy sons who is now becoming one of thy statesmen.
With this in mind, to whom else could I entrust this letter sent to his Holiness Pope John Paul II when he set foot on Haitian soil for the first time, as well as its acknowledgment by the Vatican?
That letter to Pope John Paul II is intended to draw attention to the problem posed by anti-Black discrimination and its negative repercussions on the advancement of scientific progress in the West, and more precisely in the realm of Optics.
In the Western world, according to Newton's widely accepted theory, white is considered to be the synthesis of all colors. Actually, the opposite is true. White constitutes the analysis or 'visible' decoding of light or color, whereas black is its synthesis or 'invisible' composition.
In other words, darkness or blackness and, we might add, "Black Holes'" - a scientific misnomer designating invisible stars or 'Black Suns' - are a source of energy and light. Scientifically, Industrially and Economically speaking, what an asset !
That basic raw material of light energy culminates, in its most radiant form, in the neutralization of all the colors of the spectrum in the form of usually called "white light."
Therefore "absolute blackness", the absorption of all the colors, is a divisible component of light. Needless to say, Newton's theory gives only a partial interpretation of the notion of light, by excluding black. Our contribution aims at demonstrating that the black color is not only an integral part of the color process, but its true synthesis. Light is therefore shown to be a divisible whole comprising an intensity or color scale in which black is the invisible or 'absorbed' form of the energy in question.
Allow me, SIR, in order to support my statement concerning Black Holes and radiation, to pose a question asked by Hubert Reeves, Doctor of nuclear astrophysics and Scientific Consultant to NASA:
"What would have become of the Sun, if it were plunged into a high temperature radiance like the one that existed at the beginning of the Universe? [our translation]"
"Instead of emitting light, it would absorb it and, in the end, it would be completely reabsorbed into the cosmic fluid."
The cosmic fluid is what, due to an "optical mistake", is called "darkness" or the "blackness of Space". We are talking about the electromagnetic flux, that immeasurable ocean in which the planets and stars are bathed, like the sea which links all the continents together. Darkness is thus "The Sea of Space."
"What would have happened if, instead of an ordinary star like the "White Sun", a Black Hole or "Black Sun" were injected into that primordial radiation?"
"According to Einsteinian Physics, a Black Hole is a place where gravity is so formidably intense that nothing can escape it, not even visible light. Such a hole should suck in and absorb radiation and increase its own mass: E=MC2, always."
"But after Einstein came Bohr, Heisenberg, and Quantum Physic. From then on, nothing was the same as before."
"The Einsteinian version of the Black Hole is equivalent to a statement that the matter inside the Black Hole is definitely there to stay, in that volume of space. Let us quote Hubert Reeves: "Such an absolute statement is thus contrary to the "Quantum spirit", affirming that nothing is definitely localized in one place. There is always a probability of escape. If the enclosing wall is too high, a tunnel will be dug; if the prisoners are patient, they will escape. One has only to wait." [our translation]
"According to that principle, Black Holes "evaporate". Matter constantly escapes as radiation. Black Holes "shine!" Their surfaces behave like those of any body heated to a certain temperature and that radiation endlessly feeds that marvelous "Cosmic Fluid" which, wrongly and in bad faith, people keep calling "Darkness."
Nigra sum "sed" formosa!
Yes, but should we not say instead, I am black "and" comely?
Darkness, which is both source and vehicle of light, does not have to defend itself for being the beautiful and infinitely discreet raw material of the Universe. Darkness is the "Mother of the Universe."
Also, beautiful and discreet art thou, Haiti. Discreet, yes, but never outshone! Just like the Black Virgin who inspires and sheds her love on thee from the hilltop and even beyond Cité Soleil (Sun City).
Our purpose was to offer a more constructive approach aiming at correcting the abusive traditional, so-called scientific, theories of Optics.
It’s like to say that in the exceptional circumstances in which we live today - in the point of view of FINANCE and ENERGY - no exploration in the mid or long term, by the american expertise , of an additional source of energy, at the same time safe and economically profitable, should not be ruled out.
That is why, we wrote to that authentic witness to the signs of this age, His Holiness Pope John Paul II, the prophet of the new era.
Congratulations to You, Sir, and congratulations to the PEOPLE of The United States Of America - for having made it possible for this day of November to come - to mark the beginning of a "New Era of Hope !"

Only once did I hear in the presidential debates the word 'Immigration!' One of the most damaging issue that is tearing our economy apart, and it was spoken only one time. It scares me to think that although the greater part of the American people are against a path to citizenship, better known as AMNESTY. It amazed me that although jobs of low payed citizens are given to illegal aliens. Yet high paying jobs have been spirited overseas to cheap labor countries. The next president failed to bring this seething bubbling problem to the general public. Both candidates have something to hide and after November we will see who panders to the millions of foreign nationals surviving here. Nearly everything Obama and McCain talked about, such as health care has a great deal to do, with giving free health care to illegal aliens, including billions of dollars which is forced by mandate for education. I guess if you added the money extracted from taxpayers to underwrite the pariah employers of illegal aliens, it would be well over $1.trillion dollars.
Some five million fraudulent home mortgages are in the hands of illegal aliens, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The middle class already overburdened with war appropriation funds, is still force to pay for the education, free health-care and Federal, state welfare handouts for illegal criminals and millions of illegal alien families.
