Oh, Barack Obama.  Was there ever a moment after the election when you thought yourself, “What have I gotten myself into?”
It’s been three weeks since the election and it’s yet another 55 days until the inauguration, but President-elect Obama is already up to his eyes in press conferences, advisors, and economic gloom. 
The future prez is [...]

What do Sarah Palin and Brittany Spears have in common?  No, this is not a bad joke.  This is a cry of frustration. 
It’s no secret that I’m not Palin’s biggest fan.  In fact, you can probably find nearly a half dozen entries on this site talking about what I don’t like about her.  I thought [...]

Can I please take a moment to say, once again, how much all of you rock?  And how absolutely blown away I am by the amazing work you’ve all done and the voter results from this year.  You guys are awesome.
And now, for a closer look at this historic victory.  In past elections the Electoral [...]

So here we are on just another Tuesday night… Except that wait — we’ve elected Barack Obama as the President Elect for 2008!  We did it.  We elected Barack Obama and, as a big honking bonus, we defeated Amendment 48. 
I have to confess that when I first heard we were getting close, I had a [...]

No, I’m not going to tell you why Obama is the better candidate.  I’ve been telling you that for months.  I’m not going to talk about his tax plan or his educational ideas or his health care plan or his record of voting for women’s rights.  I’ve said it all before and it’s all here if [...]

In less than 24 hours, the Election Day polls will open and the future of our nation will be decided by everyday Americans like you and me.  Twenty-four hours and we’ll be in the belly of the electoral beast.  Lines will start snaking out of their locations and voters will get impatient to cast their [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, we’re getting so close to the election that by now you must be getting tired of the phone calls, the door knockers, the petitions for help.  You must also be sick to death of the commercials and posters galore for this candidate or that one.  I understand that.  However, as most of [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, we are so, so close to finally getting through the election and knowing who our new president will be.  We’re one week out and, as with most things, it’s going to be harder before it gets easier. 
With one week left before E-Day, it is essential to work towards the undecided voters and [...]

I’m going to go way out on a limb here and say that you folks are probably getting sick to death of canvassers, phone calls, television commercials, radio ads, and campaign mail.  As a door knocker, phone caller, and dedicated volunteer I’m tired of it all.  The other day as I was driving home from [...]

It is 2008, right?  We’re into the new millennium, aren’t we?  We have fancy hand-held computers.  We can buy flour instead of having to grind the wheat ourselves.  We may not have those cool hover boards Michael J. Fox promised us in the 80s, but we’re still doing pretty damn well with all of this [...]
