My Mother-In-Law will be 100 years old next April. She has been a registered republican all her life but is a liberal on some social issues and has probably voted democratic on occasion. She lives in an assisted living facility in Tennessee near her oldest son and she is an Obama-mama.

I received this email from a friend. It reminded me of my mom and feels like it could be everyone's mom or grandma. I'm not quite her age yet; I'm a baby boomer and still feel like I'm a part of the change but I'm getting closer to these thoughts and will be there soon enough. Just wanted to share it with you all.

I guess I've been brainwashed by the Republicans and the media over the years. I always assume that someone white, young, male and a blue collar worker might not agree with me politically and I make a lot of assumptions. Since I am currently one of the hand wringing Obama-mamas I wake up each day with doom and gloom, although I won't let myself become a Chicken Little. So imagine my surprise today.

The entire ABC news team is so out of touch with real America. Between Charles Gibson, George Will and George Stephenopolis and Cokie, there is not one of them that has a clue about our real life.

Yesterday KOS wrote a diary about Obama winning the Latino vote. His diary was the anti conventional wisdom that Latinos are a conservative bloc and supported Hillary and will not support Obama. I had a discussion with some Latino community organizers here in Los Angeles who have long histories with voter turn out and worked on the Southwest Voter project. I offer their comments below for your commentary.Here is what they say about the KOS diary from yesterday.

I hope that this is the first of many attempts by those of us who have been working for change for decades to begin a discussion of what real change could mean. For those of us working at the community level we are hoping that a new democratic administration under President Obama will represent a shift in financial priorities of course but we all know that money alone will never solve the problem. Housing and health care are on everyone's mind these days because middle America is hurting but lower income people, people living at the edge, communities and elected officials deal with housing and health care all the time. We all welcome the big picture change we have talked about now for months, but let's talk about what change will really mean for those of us working in the real world.
