Living in Indiana, there is certainly a huge storm going on regarding RFRA positions. For what it's worth, the business community and press are apoplectic at the Governor and Assembly over this fiasco and there may be real opportunity for Dems to take advantage in 2016, given the big money Chamber, Corporate, and Event entities may let the GOP wither on the vine.

Wanting to look at facts beyond everyone's rhetoric, here's my take. Mom was right - we are judged by the company we keep and if you have a loudmouth, ignorant friend you're too close to - their actions will also be attributed to you.

I love Halloween. Always have. As a kid I spent days planning my costume. Originality was important and of course other than one of those plastic masks from Woolworths - the kind with an elastic band to hold it on, no one really bought costumes. They were put together from hand-me downs, or thrift stores, or mom stayed up late a couple nights on the sewing machine trying to figure out a Butterick pattern.

My grandfather was a man that went no further then eighth grade, yet taught himself to be an architect and engineer. My grandfather was a man that saw a car for the first time when he was seven years old and learned how to email when he was ninety-five. My grandfather jumped trains during the depression and worked in the CCC to see the country and have food on his plate. My grandfather was a man that judged other men by their actions and their character. My grandfather, like many of our Amercian elders, whispered lessens to his children that planted seeds that now sprout in history.

While canvassing in Indiana today I had a conversation that took me by surprise on several different levels. It also prompted cautionary self-reflection about some of my own biases.

Today I canvassed with my junior high age son in a conservative, heavily Republican, working class area outside the Indianapolis area. I know the polls indicate a toss-up here in Indiana, but I have to admit I've been a bit skeptical, albeit hopeful. After today, I think there's really, really a chance of winning Indiana.

(Please be gentle, this is my first diary after two years of lurking on Kos).
