That figures includes 16,716 Democrats; 1,745 Republicans; 5 Mountain party members; 903, no party affiliation, and 92, other Early voting has been in progress at the Mingo County Courthouse since Oct. 15 with 529 having voted as of Oct. 28, Chief Deputy Clerk Bridgett Puckett reported. Eligible voters can still vote without excuse through Saturday, Nov. 1, until 5 p.m. in the county courtroom Election officers for Early Voting are Democrats Frances Crawford, Claudia Pyskowski, and Beulah Hatfield, and Republican Margie Felice The heavy campaigning that has been in progress for months and has accelerated the past few days concerns the national ticket and the race for president Current President George W. Bush is completing his second term and the people of this nation have a tremendous task in selecting the duo, President and Vice President, which will take over the countrys leadership at a time when many issues face the nation, among them a shaky economy and the war in Iraq There have been various firsts in the national news as Barack Obama, freshman senator from Illinois, made history by becoming the first black nominee of a major party. He seeks the presidency of the United States, running on the Democratic ticket with veteran Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware as his running mate U.S. Sen. John McCain, a Navy veteran who was a Vietnam prisoner of war for 4 1/2 years, at 72 is seeking the presidency of the United States. He made national news when he announced his running mate for vice president on the Republican ticket is Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. She is the first female to serve as governor of her state The Associated Press has provided lengthy profiles of Obama and McCain and their running mates, as well as a profile of Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, who gained national attention as Joe the Plumber when Obama told him during a campaign stop that he wanted to spread the wealth around Their exchange about Obamas tax plan aired countless times on cable news programs, and McCain repeatedly cited Joe the Plumber in their third and final debate and again at campaign events McCain pointed to Wurzelbacher as an example of the middle-class worker who would be hurt economically by an Obama presidency. An AP writer said Joe probably would fare better under Obamas tax plan because it calls for no tax increase for working couples earning less than $250,000 a year and provides for a middle-class tax cut On Tuesday of this week, the AP reported that Joe the Plumber had endorsed McCain for president. His sudden fame brought media scrutiny to Wurzelbacher, who turned out to be an unlicensed plumber with unpaid back taxes, the AP story reported The presidential campaign has featured debates between Obama and McCain and between Biden and Palin. Obama has been called a savvy politician and skilled orator and McCain has been described as a battle-scarred warrior whose ability enabled him to come back against seemingly insurmountable odds Sen. Biden has what they call a grounding in foreign and domestic affairs honed over more than three decades in politics. He has been known to put his foot in his mouth or drifted off the script but he brings a wealth of foreign policy experience to Obamas Democratic ticket. He was first elected to the Senate in 1972 at age 29 Gov. Palin, an AP profile noted, knew more about catching fish, which she once did for a part-tDme living, than about most of the policies in play. She previously served terms as Wasilla, Alaskas mayor and councilwoman. She has been termed a strongly anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage candidate who was one of the nations most popular governors, but new to foreign affairs and the full sweep of national issues Other duos running as candidates for the presidency are Cynthia McKinney of Los Angeles, Calif., and Rosa Clemente of Charlotte, N.C., candidates of the Mountain party; Ralph Nader, of Winsted, Conn., and Matt Gonzalez, San Francisco, Ca., listed as N/A, and Chuck Baldwin of Pensacola, Fla., and Darrell L. Castle of Germantown, Tenn., of the Constitution party
