I meant to share this a few days ago:
Think it’s real or Memorex? Ugh!!!
This was addressed to me, the only woman in the house. It is McCain/Palin campaign literature. I will have to say that I felt it was an invasion of my voting privacy from the primary election and it cinched my vote today. Yes, I really admire Hillary. She’s up there with Shirley Chisholm, Geraldine Ferraro and Bella Abzug. I wrote a paper about Shirley in high school. If John Edwards had bowed out early because of his scandal, it may be a different election-IMHO.
One of the WordPress bloggers asked ‘who do you want to win’ and has 13,000 replies, many anti-Obama. Sorry the poorer Americans can’t get to a computer to have their say.
We went to Sean’s old elementary school to vote and thank goodness the ‘A-C’ line was short, I was about voter 745. I noticed a guy I went to high school with in line, but couldn’t recall his name until he was finished. I vote straight party and the scanner always says I don’t have enough votes. The lady asked if I want to write in any names and I say no. Bri voted differently than Sean and me, said he was voting for his father too, since he isn’t well enough to vote this year. That’s one way to vote isn’t it? Go out and vote!
Obama takes Pennsylvania-a state McCain really needed.

Congrats to my friend Carole over at Pea’s Corner who is a first time grandmom as of yesterday! Her son and his wife welcomed little Lily into the world.

I think I know who you are voting for… probably the same person I am. What disturbed me most about this election was the way some people still judge by the color of skin and the name, and gender also. Ofcourse I live in Kansas, so that may have something to do with it. I just think in America we should sort of get over that.
Hilary Clinton did speak out at a rally, holding up McCain literature with her face on it and saying, “I am Hilary Clinton and I DID NOT approve this message.”
I thought it was interesting on MSNBC last night where they were talking about post-racial politics and how the younger generations don’t really see race as an issue, at least not as intensely as older generations do. I went to a HS that was probably 60-40 white to black, so I was raised in a pretty diverse area. (My hometown is also seeing a strong influx of Asians (many Vietnamese) and Hispanics now as well.) I know race never mattered as much to me as it did to my parents and grandparents. I think it’s fantastic that we’re starting to move past judging people on the color of their skin.
