I originally posted much of this in the current rec'ed diary. I should state from the outset that I worked off and on at the local Whole Foods for about three years, and loved nearly every minute of it. I got along with all my fellow employees (team members), enjoyed many of the customers (though jeez there are some people that think that they are the most important thing to darken the doorway) and I left when I needed to because of school reasons, so I have no axe to grind with the company.

I still shop there and honestly I probably will continue to shop there, if only because I know where everything is, can get what I want and know what the bargains are.

As some of you may know Scholastic has a youth voting drive every presidential election. The results tend to be VERY accurate as to who will be the victor. They have been conducting this poll since 1940 and have only failed to choose the winner twice, once being Harry Truman (1948) and the other being John Kennedy (1960). Ages of the voters range from eight to thirteen

So who won this year?

I'm a real big nerd. I've been getting up every Sunday morning since I was at least 10 or 11 to watch the Sunday morning talk shows. I was telling my fiance about the need to get a new set for these debates, it looks the same every year since I can remember debates (1992).

But I have an in house focus group. I'm jaded and know what I am looking for, but my fiance, though an Obama supporter, is a little more even handed than me and tends to be a little more "low" information than me (though again I'm a big nerd so having less info than me is pretty easy).

McCain is on the ropes again. Last time he found himself in this position was right after Obama's acceptance speech which took it right to the Republicans. What did McCain do? Threw one hell of a Hail Mary all the way to Alaska, to get a VP that he met once, talked to on the phone and barely vetted. The results of this pass took about two weeks to determine, but it looks like it 1) solidified parts of his base 2) solidified the Democratic base and 3) did not a lot in the middle. Essentially it was a net gain (for now) in that he got more than just tepid support from his base, but certainly the future of more scandals and corruptions could erode even that modest gain.
