My sister-in-law called to say her mom and her mom's husband voted early in Ohio(the rural part of farm country in the middle of the state). They both pulled the lever for Obama. She has patiently coached them when they said they just weren't going to vote at all after Hillary lost the primary.

Not since the news that Barack had won Iowa have I been so stirred because I know they can't be alone and winning is possible. My in-laws are just the folks that the Clintons said Obama could not convince. They're the folks that people think are attending McCain rally's. They're a retired blue collar worker and waitress and they've HEARD the message.

I have the audacity of hope and so do they.
