News from Fouke, Arkansas
CNN reported:
- Federal and state police raided an evangelist's compound in Arkansas late Saturday to investigate whether any children have been physically or sexually abused, officials said.
- Arkansas State Police troopers monitor the situation at Tony Alamo Christian Ministries in Fouke, Arkansas.
- The raid is part of a two-year investigation into a compound near Texarkana, Arkansas, owned by Tony Alamo Christian Ministries, said Bill Sadler of the Arkansas State Police. About 100 agents were on the 10- to 15-acre site late Saturday and met with no resistance, he said.
- Alamo, reached by phone in Los Angeles, California, denied any wrongdoing.
Who are the members of Reverend Alamo's church ? One gets the impression that they are:
Pro gun rights
Against Women's Rights
Believers in creationism
Rabidly anti gay
Likely to be Republican
In other words, supporters of McCain-Palin presidency.

Election 2008
Projections about Electoral College count remain fluid with various polls giving McCain the lead one day and showing Obama ahead the next. The margin is razor thin. This election will be what they describe as a "cliffhanger".
