POPSNet Neutrality At A Risk The shifting positions concern some purists. "What they're talking about is selling you the right to skip ahead in the line," says Ben Scott, policy director of Free Press, a Washington-based advocacy group. "It would mean the first part of your business plan would be a deal with AT&T to get into their super-tier -- that is anathema to a culture of innovation."

POPSMcCain comes out on top in Cambodia: The Phnom Penh Post, Phnom Penh Cambodia Kaing Monika, the external affairs manager for the Garment Manufacturers Association of Cambodia, suggested a Democratic candidate would likely have a more pro-trade policy, but was uncertain whether either president could rescue the world from a global recession. "When Bill Clinton was president, we were quota free and the garment sector from were promoted. But I don't know ... if McCain or Obama can end a big world crisis," he said.

POPSObama Victory: People Around the World Celebrate
It adds to our joy and excitement to hear and see some people from around the globe celebrating Barack Obama's victory. His victory says so much about what most Americans want their country to be: Not that Obama was black, BTW, but that his being black made no difference. That America is truly a land of equality and opportunity that most of us want it to be...a core, a central idea from the very first words that began our nation: "...that all men were created equal." Of course, all major Western nations that existed at that time had slavery, had restrictions on woman...so it took time to work all those bad things out. (Freeing slaves, BTW, was in America's first document: The Declaration of Independence, but it was deleted when the majority at that time would not vote for it) We're happy that others in other countries can see and feel what this means for us....and also what it means for them: The nightmare of the last eight years is over. Amen.

POPSPresident Barack Hussein Obama - Reality feels like a dream I am laughing with joy and crying. I've cried so much, even during McCain's speech. Another dream fulfilled - the dream since I was eight years old. I wish my mother was alive. She ran away from the Jim Crow south shortly after her first cousin, my cousin, a man named Huey was tortured and lynched. Thanks everyone who helped make this dream come true. I love you all.

POPSElection Night Timetable 10 p.m.: Voting ends in GOP-held, Iowa, Montana and Nevada, a combined 15 votes. Losing these would be a setback for McCain, while winning them would be a boon for Obama. Utah's five votes are a certainty for McCain. • 11 p.m.: Four states — mega-prize California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington — are expected to quickly give Obama a combined 77 votes, while Idaho is expected to award its four votes to McCain. • 1 a.m.: Capping off the night is Alaska, where GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is governor. The Republican ticket is a shoo-in for those three votes. And then it's over. Or not.

POPSFinally No matter who wins the electoral college, the 2008 presidential election will be a historic one, as the nation will send either an African-American or the oldest first-term president to the White House. A McCain win would also mean the first female vice president in the nation's history. The 2008 presidential election has proved to be the most expensive in history. Americans are expected to head to the polls in record numbers. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/04/election.president/index.html?eref=time_us

POPSVote cast by Barack Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham will count The lesson from this photo is that not all people from the older generations are inflexible. Both Mrs. and Mr. Dunham cold have rejected their daughter Ann for her relationship Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black African from Kenya. But they didn't and the country is the better for it.

POPSFinal Obama-McCain Polls McCain's association with President Bush was named as more damaging to him than his choice of running mate What a sad state of affairs that Sarah Palin isn't kicked to curb. She a crooked politician who believes that Adam, Eve and the dinosaurs all walked the earth during the same time period. A politician who would further deprive Americans of their liberty if she only had a chance. I hope that our education system improves under an Obama administration. The downside is that ignorance promulgated by religion will continue come Obama or McCain. What a country!

POPSSkinheads Arrested, Planned to Assassinate Sen. Barack Obama and other African-Americans The complaint said the two planned to take guns from a store in Jackson, Tenn., and one of the men had a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun. The men were initially taken into custody by the Crockett County Sheriff's Office as they drove around in a vehicle covered with racially offensive words and symbols. Darrin Blackford, a spokesman for Secret Service, said the agency was contacted after the men repeated statements about their plan to federal agents investigating the case.

POPSPhiladelphia Inquirer Opinion: White People Shouldn't Be Allowed To Vote It's for the good of the country and for those who're bitter for a reason and armed because they're scared. As a lifelong Caucasian, I am beginning to think the time has finally come to take the right to vote away from white people, at least until we come to our senses. Seriously, I just don't think we can be trusted to exercise it responsibly anymore ... Hey, some people just aren't ready yet, even the governor said so. Just like some people aren't ready yet for computers or setting the clock on the VCR. The writer lists many more reasons, read Exhibits A, B and C.

POPSCall Center Workers Walk off Job in Protest Rather Than Read McCain Script Attacking Obama The daughter, who wanted her name withheld fearing retribution from her employer, confirmed the story to us. "It was like at least 40 people," the daughter said. "People thought the script was nasty and they didn't wanna read it." A second worker at the call center confirmed the episode, saying that "at least 30" workers had walked out after refusing to read the script. "We were asked to read something saying were against protecting children from danger," this worker said. "I wouldn't do it. A lot of people left. They thought it was disgusting." This worker, too, confirmed sacrificing pay to walk out, saying her supervisor told her: "If you don't wanna phone it you can just go home for the day." The script coincided with this robo-slime call running in other states, but because robocalling is illegal in Indiana it was being read by call center workers.

POPSVote for Obama and Against McCain - but without iIlusions George Will - Surely in a Democracy it's time for us to quit being sentimental, and say the question we settle in an election is not whether elites shall rule, but which elites shall rule. Thank you for your honesty George Will. It's about time that someone cut through the pretense.

POPSMcCain at the Al Smith Dinner: A funny guy and class act I watched this live and I thought: I like this John McCain much more than the mean and nasty man who showed up for the debates. McCain was a class-act in way that he complimented Baracke Obama - and he was sincere. And Obama laughed at McCain's jokes. Obama spoke after McCain and he was hilarious too (this video McCain only)
