BusinessWeek - This holiday season is shaping up to be the battle of the better deal — and it's a bloody battle indeed.
For months, retailers have been throwing themselves at consumers with promotions, yet October results show such efforts aren't yielding much, with same-store sales coming out negative across retail sectors. Less than three weeks away from Black Friday — the biggest U.S. shopping day of the year — retailers are bracing themselves for what promises to be the weakest holiday season in decades.

Three days ago the first African American man was voted President of the United States. An landmark moment that illustrated just how far the American people have come on the road to equality.
...And on that same day, African Americans showed just how far they still have to go as a people to show that same equality to others. According to MSNBC.com, 7 out of 10 African Americans in California voted for Prop 8, a law which effectively denies Gays and Lesbians the right to marry. I am not going to argue for or against homosexuality. Your beliefs or your beliefs. What I do have a problem with is government forcing those beliefs on to others.
Not that long ago in the U.S. interracial marriage, the marriage between two people of different race, was against the law. It wasn't until 1967 was it completely erased in every state. How can I compare these two laws? Both times the government put stipulations on something that was none of their business.
I am a heterosexual, christian black female. I am also a staunch supporter of the seperation of church and state. I don't want the government telling me what I can do in my house and I will lobby for my neighbor to have that same right. The right for two people to commit themselves to the one they hold most dear is not something the government should have the right to sanction or not.
The idea that we as African Americans would help to deny another group the equality that we celebrated just a mere three days ago? That's just sad.

"On a state-by-state level, [....]if there were no voters under 30, the only states that would switch to Republican presidential candidate John McCain are Indiana and North Carolina.
Without younger voters, Obama would still have won the 270 electoral votes he needs to become the next president. [....] In the make-believe world where no African-Americans voted, while Obama still would have won most of the states that he won, McCain would have been able to take the hotly contested states of Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The 107 electoral votes from those states would have been enough to shift the map in McCain’s favor."
