Election Erection


It's getting down to the nut cutting now. Just a few days to go and I'm excited about the election.
I feel very strongly about this.
I do so believe that we are at a turning point in our history and we need to change course in a very drastic, but strong manner.
I watched Obama's 30 minute "infomercial" last night and I must admit that for the first time in my life, I was moved.
I'm not sure what it is -but this man exudes leadership and makes me think that he can lead us as a bright and shining example of the city on the hill.
I'm sad in that where I live I am in a distinct minority. I live in a place where, I'm sad to say, we're not going to vote for a black man. Mississippi has made a lot of progress on the racial front but not to the point where we will elect one.
I'm sad that so many of the people that I love and trust truly believe that this man is the anti-christ. Very bizarre behavior in my opinion.
But we'll see what happens. I know it will be very close. But in the desperate reachings of the McPain ticket, I have seen such venom spit out in the closing week that it truly makes my stomach turn over. They really do seem like cartoon characters to me - hence the cartoon at the beginning of this post................
So please go vote. Vote for the man you think will lead us out of the wilderness we find ourselves in. Vote for the man that can bring us back into harmony with the rest of the world where we won't be so isolated and hated by so many.
Peace

I think the Senate race has gotten particularly ugly. It makes me uncomfortable to hear their ads on the radio/tv. I'm ready for Tuesday to be over!

It will all work out in the end when the worms eat us so don't worry so much!

Nellie was doing a Halloween card for me, and asked what scares you the most, besides witches and ghosts.

I said Obama.
