Clinton vs Obama

Okay people, I know that feelings are running hot because we all support our favorite candidates. But lets all remember the big picture before we all go off half cocked.

According to the latest Gallup poll, 28% of Clinton supporters and 19% of Obama supporters state they would vote for John McCain if their candidate was not the nominee.

Folks. If McCain get into the White House, we will have more of the same that we have suffered through for the last 8 years. McCain has signed onto just about all of George W. Bush's policies most notoriously the ones regarding torture. Do we REALLY want that for ourselves and our children?

Well, do you? Be honest now.

That's what I thought. Think about this clearly people. Even though I have real reservations about a President Hillary, if she were to get the nod in Denver, I would vote for her. I'd prefer Obama, but to be honest, I would have preferred Edwards over them both. Just sayin'.

We have a lot of work to do, and if another Republican gets into the White House, we will lose the rest of the Supreme Court for at least a generation. That means bye-bye civil rights, the right to choose, the right to privacy in our homes and on the internet... All of it. Gone. Probably for good and you can forget about anyone prosecuting Bush/Cheney and their cronies.

So... What is your choice out there? It's time for us all to forget about 'ME' for a bit and to put the needs of our community, our country and our world first.

Birthday

To all of you who wished me a Happy Birthday, thanks. It was a nice quiet day which culminated in a delightful concert featuring Paul Potts.

Maybe it is me, but every time I hear him, he only seems to have improved more. He has a very nice stage presence, although he needs to enunciate a bit more when speaking, and his selection of music was quite good. He really is learning to make the music he sings his own.

Also on the bill was a group known as the Three Graces. Female ensemble featuring a mix of Operatic, Broadway and Pop singers. The most interesting thing is when they took a Phil Collins song and sang it in Spanish (or perhaps Italian). Either way, I'm sure Phil would have approved.

Dinner was Curry House, always a good choice.

Thinking about a trip to see the Tonight Show on Friday. (Standing on line all day... Wheee!!!) Also a trip to Universal Studios sounds like fun. Haven't been since I was a kid and the Six Million Dollar Man was still in production. (Did Disney last year... Still, would like to ride the revamped Submarine ride...)

Today... Still deciding... Need more sleep I think... Mmmmm... Sleep...
