The excitement of voting for Barack Obama is upon us. We have a candidate we are truly thrilled to cast our ballots for. Also, historic is the fact that he will soon be the first African-American to become president of the US.

It was also a historic election cycle for women with the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. Women were not granted the right to vote until 1920. Hillary likes to point out that when her mother was born, women did not have the right to vote. And now in 2008, daughter Chelsea was able to vote for her mother for president of the United States. Yes, we've come a long way baby. But it was not without struggle and sacrifice.

So, I'd like you to take a moment to remember "The Night of Terror," Nov. 15, 1917, a story of our Grandmothers and Great-grandmothers. They lived only 90 years ago.

I am one of these people who likes to take a dip of information from all over the political blogging spectrum. But sometimes I come away from the right-wing bloggers feeling like I need a spiritual bath to refresh myself. A friend sent me this link to an inspirational music video called "An American Prayer" directed by Dave Stewart (and features lots of great artists from Whoopi Goldberg to --get this-- Barry Manilow.) I hope you'll view it and feel anew the energy and joy of being an Obama supporter.

Just when you think the average low information voter might catch on that Sarah Palin is not a good candidate for VPOTUS ....

Many people are predicting that the final days of this campaign are going to come down to which candidate can get the most negative message across about the other one. I have seen many people post comments wanting Barack Obama to get just as nasty in his attacks as McCain has been in the last weeks. I would like everyone to take a step back and remember why many of us initially became supporters of Barack Obama. The following fable pretty much outlines for me why I want to live in an America with Barack Obama as president.
