"A full-blooded American." That's how 24-year-old Josh Fry of West Virginia described his preference for John McCain over Barack Obama. His feelings aren't racist, he explained. He would just be more comfortable with "someone who is a full-blooded American as president." Whether Fry was referring to McCain's military service or Obama's Kenyan father isn't clear, but he may have hit upon something essential in this presidential race. Full-bloodedness is an old coin that's gaining currency in the new American realm. Meaning: Politics may no longer be so much about race and gender as about heritage, core values and made-in-America. Just as we once and still have a cultural divide in this country, we now have a patriot divide. Who "gets" America? And who doesn't? The answer has nothing to do with a flag lapel pin, which Obama donned for a campaign swing through West Virginia, or even military service, though that helps. It's also not about flagpoles in front yards or magnetic ribbons stuck on tailgates. It's about blood equity, heritage and commitment to hard-won American values. Roots. Some run deeper than others and therein lies the truth of Josh Fry's political sense. In a country that is rapidly changing demographically -- and where new neighbors may have arrived last year, not last century -- there is a sense that America is getting lost in the dash to diversity. Nation of immigrants We love to boast that we are a nation of i ...

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wants Voters to expand the California Lottery and borrow against future profits to help plug a $15.2 billion hole in the state budget. Q&A about the budget plan Steve Wiegand column Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger outlines his revised budget Wednesday at a Department of Health Care Services auditorium. His proposal would borrow an idea Gov. George Deukmejian used in 1983, with a sales-tax increase that would be triggered if Voters reject a lottery revenue proposal. New Assembly Speaker Karen Bass and Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata respond to the governor Wednesday. Democrats were critical of the proposal's cuts to health and social service programs but said they will await Legislative Analyst Elizabeth Hill's review of lottery financing. Republican Assemblyman Roger Niello responds Wednesday to questions after the governor presented his May revision of the budget. ...

The press and campaign volunteers were out en masse for yesterday's election, but not the Voters. Despite high hopes that polls would be busier than the 2004 election (30.1% voted), Linda Wanat called the voter turnout "terrible" according to the Star Ledger. Final count: 7,149 Voters pushed the polling machine buttons - that's only 28.65% of registered Voters. This was an election where every vote was precious for each of the candidates running. Nail-biting continued for Kathryn Weller during Unity Montclair's victory celebration, until absentee ballots were accounted for. Weller beat incumbent Robin Schlager by 36 votes, winning a seat for Councilor-at-large. In another close race, Rich Murnick (First Ward) ousted Gerry Tobin by a mere 23 votes. ...

With only seven of 32 precincts voting yes, the school bond levy failed to pass Tuesday, with uncertified results being 2,958 for and 4,194 against. “We hoped the children of Mineral County would have received this money,” said Superintendent of Schools Tilden “Skip” Hackworth early Wednesday morning at a packed Mineral County Courthouse. “Now, children in another county will benefit from the money.” A larger-than-expected turnout and time-consuming tallies by both paper and electronic ballots resulted in early-morning numbers. These results mark the third time Mineral County residents have voted on a school bond levy in four years. February’s special election on the school bond levy ended in defeat with 1,701 voting against the levy, 1,558 for the levy — 143 votes from passing. During the Primary Election in May 2004, more residents were against the passing of the bond than in recent elections, with 2,606 for the bond and 3,590 against — a deficit of 984. The 2004 election was the first time a school bond levy was voted on since the passage of the last one in 1973, according to Superintendent of Schools Skip Hackworth. If the bond would have passed, the county school system would have received $9 million dollars from the West Virginia School Building Authority, which was awarded at a special meeting held April 21 in Charleston. This money was “contingent upon the passage of the school bond election,” Hackworth previous ...

 When the final paper and electronic ballots were tallied at around 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning, incumbent Mineral County Commissioner Janice LaRue narrowly came out on top, winning the Republican nomination by five votes, according to the unofficial totals. The total for LaRue — who is completing her first term as Commissioner — was 1,102, while following close behind her was Roger Leatherman with 1,097 votes. A third candidate on the Republican ticket for County Commissioner was Annette Favara, who received 834 votes. LaRue will face Democrat Donald Ashby in the general election this November. Ashby, a former Board of Education member for 6 years, garnered 3,058 votes. Craig Fraley obtained the most votes of the four Democratic candidates for county sheriff, at 1,640, and will have his name placed on the general election ballot.
