Please vote tomorrow. And remember those who’ve given everything for the right.
Thank you Tbogg, for the post, and thanks to BOHICA for reminding me of this song.
Obama Opposes California’s Prop 8
Anti-marriage forces in California are sending out deceptive mailers which imply that Barack Obama and Joe Biden are in favor of California’s Proposition 8. This is simply untrue. The Obama campaign has released a statement, which says in part:
“Senators Obama and Biden have made clear their commitment to fighting for equal rights for all Americans whether it’s by granting LGBT Americans all the civil rights and benefits available to heterosexual couples, or repealing ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” said a statement issued by campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt. “Senator Obama has already announced that the Obama-Biden ticket opposes Proposition 8 and similar discriminatory constitutional amendments that could roll back the civil rights he and Senator Biden strongly believe should be afforded to all Americans.”
Support marriage for all our citizens. Vote NO on Proposition 8.

Vote No on Prop. 8, California
If you’re like me, and don’t vote in California, consider making a donation to help pay for ads. The Mormon Church, in defiance of its own long-standing traditions, is pouring money into ads supporting this Proposition, which would take away the ability of gay and lesbian couples to marry.
As the couple in this ad says, homosexual marriage has been legal for months now, and we’re just fine!
More great ads here.
Palin Shops
In all the stories of Palin’s extensive, expensive wardrobe (“I can see Neiman-Marcus from my house!” as a friend of mine said.), the picture below is what I loved most. Look closely now.
Maybe the Dems will have a blow-out after all.
On the Ground in Colorado
I know I haven’t been posting much, but we’ve been busy. Here’s my take on Obama’s ground campaign in our neighborhood in Colorado (northwest Jefferson County).
My husband and I were out canvassing again today, as we’ve been doing on Saturdays for several weeks now. It’s been very interesting watching the campaign evolve in our neighborhood (swing district in a high-target county in a swing state).
Many Colorado offices had been open for months now, while our area had one guy working out of his car. Then the campaign sent an intern, then they opened an office
“I’m Not Bush”
Ugly Ohio
I grew up partly in Ohio, and partly in Mississippi. The thinking on display here doesn’t surprise me at all.
Angry Crowds
Ed Rollins, David Gergen, Paul Begala, and Anderson Cooper discuss McCain/Palin’s angry rallies, and the dangers thereof.
Rage
Like many people, I’ve been surprised and disturbed by the anger shown in the McCain/Palin rallies this week. But maybe the crowds are taking their cue from the Presidential candidate. He has a history of temper and even violence.
