Well, we made it. It is finally election day - though sweetie and I mailed in our ballots over a week ago. She is helping with the transportation arrangements (for those who need rides to get their ballots in to the dropoff places) at one of the party offices, while I work my regular job. Then we will be heading out to a party to (hopefully) ( Read more... )

I had really hoped that Barack's grandma would hang on till Election Day, but it was not meant to be. At least she got to see and hear (from afar) him accepting the Democratic nomination, and thank goodness he took the time to go see her recently when she took a turn for the worst. I think there are so Repubs out there that owe him a big apology ( Read more... )

Just two more days to go. Sweetie was doing get out the vote callls, to Virginia and Ohio, this afternoon. We found out that yesterday a few people went to a previous intersection to do sign waving (they missed the email that said it was not there until monday) and they emailed today to say they got great results (honkings, thumbs up, waves)...They ( Read more... )

3 days to go and Keith Obermann on Countdown is having a review of the campaign so far ...lots of memories, more to come:)
We had 18 out for our second sign-waving event ,even with a prospect of rain (we had sprinkles but not much) Plenty of honks,friendly waves,and thumbs up.
Almost here...

soon, listened to the Maddow/Obama talk last night and found it to be quite well done. (misbehaving keys - key between e and t not functioning (mnopq-sta) -amazing how one key item in the alphabet can mess up one's postings :(
....now what happened to my nozzle thingy?:)

5 days to go, can't wait, getting nervous ,eager to see results. I remember all the primaries and caucuses and the voting night result watching. One more to go, and this one's for all the marbles ( Read more... )

Last night I watched Jay Leno from Monday night and saw his talk with Michelle Obama. Another classy outing by her, as always. Funny bits about family life, especially the girls reaction to their father's upcoming speech on TV tonight (they were just concerned that he might mess with Disney or Nickelodeon:) Then this morning I was about to switch ( Read more... )

just one more week, 7 more days till the finish line, so glad we don't have to worry about waiting in a line at the polls ,like earlier years and like so many around the country. We mailed our ballots in last week and confirmed them being received online today. Now it's just waiting - and waving signs on Saturday - to hopefully celebrate victory ( Read more... )

A week from tomorrow comes the end of a long, long campaign season. But we should not look at it as merely the ending, but as the beginning,hopefully, of a transformational time in America. A time to make real positive changes in our healthcare system, our foreign policy, and a re-establishment of a proper balance between Congress ,the President, ( Read more... )

We had a very successful day yesterday, sign-waving. We had about 35 or so people signed up for the event and almost everyone turned out. We had people on all four corners of one of the main intersections of Mill Creek and we had overwhelming support from the cars going by, honking ,waving , yelling support. We had a few thumbs down and a couple ( Read more... )
