DJ, the political black sheep of the family, has always leaned slightly to the left. So, supporting a Democrat like Obama wasn't much of a stretch. Mocha likes Ralph Nader, but seeing the writing on the wall, this practical Weimeraner has gotten behind Obama as well. While Fuego likes the name Obama, because it is fun to sing the name game to, he told me he likes old people and ladies who talk funny more, so he has jumped on the McCain - Palin train. I don't think he really understands the whole election thing very well.
We have all seen the 24 hour news and political pundits spin the stories of the day to the benefit of their candidates. The discussions, arguments and all out battles could go on forever with no one changing anyone else's mind. So, what do we do?
VOTE!
Whoever you are planning to support, just do it!
Get out there and pull that lever, push that chad, or color in that oval with a number 2 pencil. However your voting place counts your vote, make sure it is there to count.
If it rains, put on your rain slicker or grab your umbrella!
If it is cold, put on an extra jacket.
If you are afraid it will be crowded bring along a snack, your ipod or a book to read.
If you are stressed out from work, fight your way through the rush hour traffic.
Earn your "I voted" sticker.
People all over the world literally have to risk life and limb to exercise their right to vote. We just have to manage our time to get there before the polls close.
.....and if you forget, or don't have time or decide it isn't worth the trouble, complaints about the actions of the winner will fall on deaf ears.
Oh yeah, just one more thing......
GO OBAMA!!!! YES WE CAN!!!!!!!
