    Obama cannot spell fellon correctly, he only uses one 'l'.

    I cut off three of my fingers. In no particular order. Less than interesting...

    I am wondering what they mean by a convicted fellon.

    Do they just mean someone who is in prison, or does it include people who
    are out on parole, does it include those people who have served their full
    term and have been released and are not on Parole.

    I believe that depends on the state. I seem to remember a debate in FL about re-instating the voting rights of felons who had served their full sentences. If there is a debate about allowing it, I would assume that it is currently not allowed.

    Torc - where I am... convicted is convicted... doesn't matter if you are in prison or not.... you were convicted. Period. The debate comes up from time to time around here to, but ti never seems to go anywhere. What brought this up is the recent conviction of the senator from Alaska... who plans to finish of his run for re-election tomorrow, win, then resign, givign his party (Republicans) a chance to name his replacement, and in the process keeping the seat red. It jsut struck me a s funny that most convicted felons can't vote... but in theory could run for congress.... I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere....

    Re: Interesting Observation

    Oh my, are you suggesting that there is a possibility that, perhaps, somehow, maybe a felon could potentially end up in the Senate? Good lord, what a notion.

    Actually I'd prefer that it were a melon.... that would at least be an improvement.
