I thought I would turn your attention to this pretty cool web site.

This is about as up to date as it gets....I have become mildly obsessed with tracking the election, and this wraps it up quite nicely for the time starved.

I found myself (no lie) having a conversation, in a vineyard, with COMPLETE strangers about S. Palin this weekend.
Here is a photo...if you'd like a visual.
It's kind of a long story to share here....the condensed version is that I questioned a young couple, "Do you support Palin?" and they said Yes, and I think I was just so shocked with disbelief that I just wanted to keep asking them more questions, because clearly they couldn't be serious? And then the guy answered back with, " But she's just so cute! She has such a nice large family....and she is shakin' things up! I don't want another white old man in office. Didn't you see her winking during the debate, and that Joe Six Pack line, I loved that!"
No lie. This is what this guy said! And I was like...ummmmmm, pretty sure McCain is an old white man....but uh......and NO the whole folksy, dumb speak does NOT do it for me. I don't appreciate or find it PROFESSIONAL to wink, flirt or smile your way through an official electoral DEBATE.
It was so awkward. I am still going to say they were pulling my leg... PLEASE let them be pulling my leg?
Jesus....fingers and toes crossed here. If any of my blog readers out there like Palin...lay it on me! I wanna hear more. But if you get a lot of "seriously?" or "really?" comments back, don't say I didn't warn you.
This girl is Obama/Biden all the way.

DRILL BABY DRILL....just kidding.
I am a Maverick
just kidding
P.S. do you know the dictionary's first definition of a maverick is: An unbranded range animal, especially a calf that has become separated from its mother, traditionally considered the property of the first person who brands it.
No lie..check it out at www.freedictionary.com
Good for you for choosing a direction for your own reasons. Too many people don't care and just wander about aimlessly like caribou foraging on the tundra at lambeau field...wait sorry...those are cheerleaders :)

we're with you way over here in hong kong too! conversation around my lunch table of humanities teachers (and we happen to be a liberal bunch by nature) is mostly centered around disbelief that people actually support her. hey, why worry about the economy when you have a cute face to look at?!? believe me, all my american friends and colleagues over here are mailing in their absentee ballots.
