Phew. I'm mostly a lurker here at DKos. I posted a couple of diaries here during the election about my first forays into canvassing, but mostly I just read and learn.

Today I waded into the fray in the comments of the vaccines and autism diary currently on the rec list. And I have to say, I wasn't prepared.

Seriously. I struggle to make enough time to get out to canvas my neighborhood. But on October 31, a bazillion people are going to "canvas" my house looking for candy. A lot of them will be accompanied by someone old enough to vote.

So, I'm pretty new to this political junkie stuff, but am I the only one that thinks it's largely good news that a big, very public poll has Obama down 10% this morning?

Seriously. Imagine that the polls had Obama up 10 points this morning instead...

I am a big Obama fan, but I carry this big load of guilt that I'm not doing enough. I stood in line for hours to hear him speak. I give money. I have a bumper sticker on my car and (very cool!) spoke cards on my bike. I respond to "he's a Muslim" emails from my husband's family in Georgia.

The thing is, I can't vote for Obama. I wish I could. But I'm a permanent resident, and even if I could get over my gut reaction to having to divorce my country of Canada to become an American (topic for another diary, sigh...), I can't get it done in time to vote.

Which leaves me feeling guilty.

This is my first diary, and I never thought it would be about my amateur ponderings on campaign ethics.

I began this primary season a Hillary supporter - I wanted my daughter to grow up in a country where a woman can hold the highest office in the land. I ended up an Obamamama because I want my daughter to grow up in a country where we are called together for a higher purpose. But I have tried very hard not to be anti-Hillary - a soft spot for a woman walking over new ground, I suppose.

Odd, then, that what has finally gotten to me is this - is it ethical for a campaign to raise money off hard working Appalachian white folk to pay campaign debts to the wealthy?

Is this how it feels to be a Republican??? Update.

Carve a Pumpkin for Obama!

The BIG Upside of Being Down 10% in the Polls

I canvassed, and did not die!

Hillary's debt and hard working white folks - is it ethical?
