I just wanted to jump in here (as I''m not usually on these threads...not smart enough to keep up) and say that my mom became a citizen 3 months ago and today she voted for Obama!
I''m a little surprised at her choice but she has her reasons and I''m proud of her for voting.

Oh, Freke, it''s not fun!!! DH isn''t registered, so of course he can''t vote in this election (), but he would probably vote for McCain if he could. We have a rule at our house: we DO NOT discuss politics under ANY circumstances whatsoever!!!

Did anyone else get a giggle out of McCain''s new gaff at the OH rally?
After calling on Joe The Plumber to stand up and contribute: ''Joe''s with us today. Joe, where are you? Where is Joe? Is Joe here with us today?''...(met with deathly silence)..Mccain looks around nervously..
''Joe, I thought you were here today,'' McCain said as the crowd murmured. To his credit, he did try to recover ''All right, well, you''re all Joe the Plumber so all of you stand up and say -- I thank you,'' - The crowd applauds !!
HUH? This news story made Fi and I LOL..
OK, guys, I have a question. I''ve seen that some people think the ad referenced above is "sexist." And if there''s anything I hate, it''s "ism" of any kind . . . sexism, racism, etc. However, I just don''t see the sexism in that ad! From my interpretation of it, it looks like Obama is simply stating his (very valid) concerns that Palin is not someone McCain should be relying on to help him deal with the economy. He could have just as easily said that if Palin were a man. How was the ad sexist? Can someone please enlighten me?Date: 10/29/2008 6:21:48 PM

Welcome, everyone! After Ellen told us about it I checked HuffPo until it popped up! Love that website-they have everything any bleeding heart liberal like myself would want to see!
And yeah, that ad is effective!
Ya, I thought it too funny not to post Thing ! I know its off topic, but this kinda thing is seriously the main coverage we have received about the election here.Date: 10/31/2008 8:18:56 AM

I loved this-hilarious! I was too lazy to post about it, though!
That's exactly what I see too. If he had a man running with him that had the same level of knowledge (or lack thereof) that SP does, it would be no different. I think that's a stretch thinking that.Date: 10/31/2008 8:42:03 AM

El, I''m glad you agree! I was worried that maybe I was being insensitive to sexism and, as a woman, I was concerned about myself! LOL!Date: 10/31/2008 9:27:37 AM

aj, I saw that too. As I said before, McCain can''t seem to catch a break. I really feel kinda sorry for him.... (but I did giggle)
btw, what''s ''arvo''?

And the thing with Joe the Plumber standing McCain up is just HILARIOUS!!! It''s a good thing McCain was able to turn to all those other ''Joe the Plumbers'' in the absence of the ''real'' (ha!) Joe the Plumber! LOL!
And I''m glad Ellen asked what an ''arvo'' is, AJ . . . I didn''t have a clue either!
