53+47

equals 100. Actually in this case 53 plus 47 equals one nation and though there are a lot of strong feelings in both of those numbers we need to all remember that if we remain divided we will fail. Although my doubts about President-Elect Obama are still there I wish him and our country the best of luck. He will be taking office in troubled times both economically and in the middle of a war, how he handles both will impact life not only in our country but throughout the world. I hope the candidate I saw on the trail isn't the one that takes office, being President isn't a popularity contest, hard decisions will need to be made and following approval ratings isn't what this nation needs. I hope he has better character than his past has shown and that he works with both parties to find the best solution. I hope that he has respect for the position people bestowed upon him and that he learns not to belittle easy targets. I hope his need to display leadership with quick action is tempered with sound judgment.

Most of all....I hope in four years I can look back at the job he has done leading our country and say to myself, I was wrong, he's done good.

I like this guy!



One vote AH HA HA HA... TWO votes AH HA HA HA

More the better right?



If it wasn't so sad for our country I'd be laughing at the shenanigans going on not only today, but during this whole race.

"It's time for change, man,"Jones said. He complained about the long lines and said that "I decided to come back and vote a couple times."


Good job on the reporting there CNN...maybe a follow up question like "Really, how did you manage that?" would have been nice.

by hook or by crook...

and so it begins...





One thing I just don't understand, if you were to believe the main stream propagandists about how Obama has this election in the bag, why do his supporters feel the need to do shady things? Voter registration, it's over folks and yet there are reports of people being allowed to still do so in Virginia without even checking their ID's...ACORN, well that's a fiasco that we may never know the truth about. The video clips above, way to go Philly... It seems to me that no matter how this election turns out a huge percentage of people are going to lose even more faith in the process and there isn't much to begin with.

Part of me actually hopes that the Dems get their dream election, The One in the White House and a majority in both houses - their power won't last long because reality will finally sink in to the majority of citizens in our country but on the flip side, our country I fear will be much worse off than it is now. No party should ever have that kind of power and with POR (Pelsoi, Obama and Reed) in charge...well we'll all be in the poor house.

I did my part earlier today and voted and I hope everyone else does too. Each vote matters. It's obvious that I am hoping McCain will win but if he doesn't...I guess we'll finally learn what Obama really believes, what his views are and how much change he's really going to bring about.
