this segment is terrible. every day, no matter who does it, the concept of two people chatting about mornign news and me having to read it is boring and terrible. there must be a better way.
I think even if McCain had talked about his immigration policy it wouldnt have meant much...Bush supposedly ran as a moderate on immigration. Then Bush A) built a ineffective version of the Berlin wall on the Mexican border and B) Started rounding up illegals but not their employers.
I was shaking when I cast my ballot for Obama this morning, I was so excited!
Yesterday, my son's third grade class had a mock election, and McCain won 15-2 (he voted Obama, of course). I asked him how he felt about being one of only two who voted for Obama, and he said he felt like one of the two smartest people in his class. That cracked me up!
I got up, went to 7-11 for coffee and figured I'd cruise by my polling place and see how bad the line was. There wasn't one, at 9 a.m., so I voted in less than five minutes. I do predict Virginia will go for Obama.
Completely off topic, but if you don't want to pay for internet at Starbucks, get one of those starbucks gift cards, put some money on it, use it, register it online, and voila, free internet.
So, as much as I have wished for Obama to become the next president every day for the last two years, today my stomach is in knots over... Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District. My honey has been there the past two and a half months, working 16-hour days, directing the field game to try and turn that district blue and earn a history-making electoral college vote for Obama -- any Nebraskan Jezebelles out there, please do what you can to help get out the vote today! And everybody else, please send good vibes to NE-2!
OMG, ANOTHER wacky email from my MOM just came in.
She and my dad went to a Halloween party at their church this weekend and my dad dressed up as Joe the Plumber. According to her: "bald cap, tool box, monkey wrench and shirt with Joe's Plumbing written on it." Aw, my dad.
hello hello!! all the best with getting obama into the white house, guys! vote, vote, vote, vote!! FOR OBAMA!!! sending you lots of good vibes from south africa!! yes, you can!!!
i bumped into an african-american granny today, wearing an obama t-shirt, and without thinking, accosted her on some 'hey! did you vote before you left home, hmmmmm?' and without blinking, she said 'yes, dear - i voted early'. i'm loving how everyone's so focussed!
I voted this morning in Philly and only had a brief line - but at 7:45 AM the queue was wrapped around the firehouse. I was #261 at 10:15 AM, when I'm usually like, voter 300 at 5:30 PM. This is going to be awesome.
And now, to figure out how to get to Ben & Jerry's after class.

I am 43 yo and still avoid the subject of politics with my mom- so I won't upset her
also, Halloween is about pretending to be what you're not

Whole thing took 10 minutes, from sign in to getting my "I voted" sticker.
Couldn't have been more painless, congrats to the poll workers and all the mail-in voters.
Now comes the hard part.
