I should clarify -- I support and respect everyone's right to support the President of his or her own chosing. <br><br>And, yes, happy birthday indeed to my late father who of course I thought of tons this week, even on Mother's Day with M and I visiting my mother and stepfather, and trying to focus on getting M ready for New Orleans. The day after is when his absence and her absence, hit me more (even while knowing M herself is having a trip opportunity of a lifetime). I'm reminded that we got Dad a lemon meringue pie last year, but we celebrated more another day.... etc. etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792762396054034888.post-3358087035066110782008-05-15T07:22:00.000-07:002008-05-15T07:22:00.000-07:00Happy Birthday for your Father~~Edwards certainly ...Happy Birthday for your Father~~<br>Edwards certainly held out on his support for some time now hasn't he.

Personally, I don't like any of them but found more & more I am leaning towards McCain unless someone can give convince me otherwise - to me, he is the lesser of the evils. Sad way to look at things huh. I hope M is having a blast in NOLA, I had a ball when I was spent a week there...I think...LOL (those were my wild days so much of it was lost at Pat O'Briens but I have an awesome glass collection ;) )<br>LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792762396054034888.post-39856644911270437342008-05-15T07:44:00.000-07:002008-05-15T07:44:00.000-07:00Happy to hear that you and E are still doing well....Happy to hear that you and E are still doing well. ~ MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792762396054034888.post-40518640376242813942008-05-15T11:41:00.000-07:002008-05-15T11:41:00.000-07:00What irks me is how often I hear people make choic...What irks me is how often I hear people make choices from the most uninformed basis. Get to know the candidates. Understand the issues. Read the paper, listen to NPR. There are a huge differences between Obama and McCain, the idea that anyone would "lean" in one direction as if they're choosing between Frick and Frack is appalling to me. Find out who you agree with and vote for them.<br>I tolerate informed opinions. Uniformed ones, based on vague impression and sound bytes are not worth respecting. You might as well stay home if you're going to make voting a roll of the dice. It's very easy to strike a pose of "they're all idiots" because you're too intimidated by the process of informing yourself and getting involved. Democracy is such a precious gift. Use it.<br><br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792762396054034888.post-74496209934516875362008-05-16T17:24:00.000-07:002008-05-16T17:24:00.000-07:00I was a John Edwards supporter early on; I stayed ...I was a John Edwards supporter early on; I stayed with him until he withdrew from the race.
