Fretting...

I am glued to the tube watching basically nothing. Some returns from Indiana, but basically, meaningless. I have no time to link, but search for Barack's Manassas speech which is funny and wonderful. For me, the key state is VA - if it goes quickly for Barack then the rest is gravy; however, I will be in despair if PA goes for McCain. Eugene Robinson is a must read in the Wapo, talking about just what this election means to him as an African American and how, for the first time, he is proud to be an American. Good for him. I must say, as I was driving to PA this past weekend, I turned to the woman I was going to GOTV with and said those very words. She was dumbstruck because she said she felt exactly the same thing. I know Michelle took a lot of heat for her remarks, but we have been in the wilderness for such a long time. I lived in England during much of the Nixon years and my god I had a heap a lot of explaining to do. And Reagan, please, I know he is a sacred cow these days, but what a horrible president. An ignorant fool and damn proud of it. Bush One - sold his soul to Satan and never recuperated. And Bush Two - the idiot prince continues to wreak havoc on the world.
