I am sure many of you are aware that McCain has chosen his running mate. How many are surprised it’s a woman with virtually no political experience-aself-declared “hockey mom”. I am not surprised that the GOP thinks it can win Hillary supporters by selecting a woman. I don’t know much about Mrs. Palin from Alaska, but I do think that McCain believes this will woo all of those Hillary supporters who are upset that she didn’t win the nomination.
I have to think that those great women and men who supported Hillary did so because of her politics and not her mere possession of two X chromosomes. I am not naive, I know that there are certainly folks out there who stood by and voted for Hillary because she was a woman, just like there are folks who will vote for McCain because he’s old. But I have faith that vision will win out and that Obama’s message will spread across our country as quickly as it has around the world. It is a time for change. A time for real change.
There are many of us dem’s out there who worry about McCain winning the election and how it is a done deal. Really? The election isn’t until November and if Obama speak and presents himself like he did yesterday–how can we not elect this man to lead our country in this new world. Because it is a new world. It is time for a new mindset to govern our country and lead us on.
I am ready. Are you?

I’m still reeling from the Palin announcement! I thought there was nothing that could make me dislike the McCain ticket more, but I’m an Alaskan and have big issues with Palin and her policies!
We need Obama!!

Exactly. And since my little guy can’t vote, I’m gonna try to get people who have refused to vote in the past to register and vote in his honor.
As Obama said, “Enough!”

I would like to know exactly which of Obama’s policies you support. Which of his positions do you agree with? Do you know any of the legislation that he has passed while in congress? If so, which do you agree with? Or do you just want anything but McCain? I really, really want to hear from SOMEBODY something other than, “But Obama is for change”. Please, give me something.

First – well said! I am ready!! Bring on the debates is what I say – I can’t wait to see them!
And, I agree with mp’s response to Kristin. It is up to US as voters to look up the information we need to make an educated decision in November. Yes, the candidates can give us a brief overview during speeches, but they cannot get out their entire plans in one hour. (No one would listen that long – this is America after all and most people would change the channel.) I am really tired of people (mainly some family members) telling me they don’t know what Obama stands for when they’ve never done the research or at least listened to the man speak. I have researched and listened to McCain so that I can see the ‘other side’ as well as the one I believe in.
Sorry to use your blog for my soap-box. I didn’t mean to do that. 🙂
