in Obama’s Victory Road? on The Washington Independent
Just north of Orlando, I-4 runs north/south through Sanford, Fl, my town of 45,000, low/middle income folks. Lots of activity here. The positive scramble includes Republicans for Obama.

People are quiet about their choice for either Obama or McCain. McCain is viewed too close to Bush for even diehards to advertise with bumper stickers.

The irony for whites: it's the Obama window decal that gets your car keyed. Thus, people are quietly thrilled to be turning this state BLUE.

in The Torch Is Passed on The Washington Independent
I may be out of line here, but... Common sense? Exercises/diets so intensely that no one knows you're pregnant until you tell them...at seven months. At 44 and over seven months pregnant, flies from Alaska to Seattle to Texas and then (with ambionic fluid leaking) passes up excellent medical facilities at each stop, flies back from Texas to Seattle to Alaska ... and drives to her hometown clinic (that has no special facilities for a high risk pregancy/birth). Again, maybe I'm out of line, but I believe in the combination of leaving something in God's hands And Taking Responsibility in addition to using Common Sense. Or did she want to leave that baby in God's hands?

I'm sure opposed to placing this country/world in the hands of such a woman.

in McCain Camp Responds On Palin’s Russia and Iran Positions on The Washington Independent
What do you expect from a CEO/McCain picking a VP/Palin after a months-old handshake and a three hour interview?

Now, that pick is being 'interned' by Bush/Rove people. If McCain/Palin/Bush/Cheney/Rove continue this reign, may God help us all.

witness You are so right and if WE THE PEOPLE do not get out and do all we can they will get back in office. They are the best at spinning anything because the media outlets are run and owned by republicans. Pay no attention to the straw polls the cnn polls or any of the others they are manipulated by the republican party to make people frustrated and not go out and vote. It is part of their caging program.

Just think. We could be replacing 'Cheney' style hunting with 'Palin' helicopters and shotguns.

Now that's what I call really scary.
