Vote for Obama

MCCAIN LACKS THE CHARACTER AND TEMPERAMENT TO BE PRESIDENT. AND PALIN IS SIMPLY A DISGRACE.

I used to nod wisely when people said: "Let's discuss issues rather than personalities." It seemed so obvious that in politics an issue was an issue and a personality was a personality, and that the more one could separate the two, the more serious one was. After all, in a debate on serious issues, any mention of the opponent's personality would be ad hominem at best and at worst would stoop as low as ad feminam.

In case I would be an American I would definetely vote for Obama. (Beside the issue?)

Vote against McCain's VP would be vote against her in many way :)

The rest of the world largely agrees.

This is rather interesting:

Above all... remember: you are beautiful, you are valuable, and you have a shining spark of magnificence within you. Don't let anyone take that from you. Embrace who you are. <3

I don't want to bring politics too far into this forum, but I will be volunteering at a Move On phone bank this weekend.  I hope in some small way to help Indiana switch from red to blue.

This is the first election that I have felt so anxious and energized.  Though no one at Move On knows of my background other than I signed up to volunteer, I'm sure that they will not have any problems with me being a lesbian.

Oh and that other thing too...
