Obama's family is adorable and very Kennedy-esque. But man, he is soooooooooooo not going to win. Sorry if anyone has more faith in Americans than I do... but no way. At least Kennedy had the mob on his side

I dunno... I mean I see what you mean, but I also think (and this may sound awful, but whatever) that there are a hell of a lot of black folk out there who have never voted before who will vote this year. And no, not every black person is supporting Obama, but a lot of them are. There are Obama bumperstickers and lawn signs everywhere... and almost every bumpersticker I've seen had a black person driving it... and though I haven't seen every homeowner, the ones in my development are.
So my question is, how many of them actually registered and will actually vote? That goes for white people and other colors too, honestly. People love to talk about politics but then you ask them are you registered to vote and they go, oh, uh, no, I forgot.
No No No No No NO No -- call it stupid faith but DAMMIT he better win.
Oddly enough my mom and I discussed this very point today. Although I take her as a positive sign - she voted for W *twice* and I don't know if she's ever voted Dem. So the fact that I think I have her leaning my way is huge. My dad is a long-gone Republican so my only hope is her.
I know there are lots of stupid dems out there - I find I know several of them very well unfortunately. I'm trying hard to sway them gently.
But he better win... I barely survived the last post-election day... not sure I can do that again.
