27. Wow. that's absolutely impressive. I just spoke with a man who has
traveled all over the world. I asked him where his most favorite place on earth
was. He said Thailand. (northern thailand?) Said it was idylic and the people
were the most wonderful of all he had ever encountered.

34. my mom's like that. I wonder what the hell happened to me. I
have spent 7.5 years hating Bush. I had a brief time when I was un-hateful - then
bang ! I started hating Hillary. It happened when she "won" NH. My radar
started beeping full force. Despite 5 major pollsters showing O ahead - in a
do or die primary - she miraculously found 31k unpolled voters - who simultaneously
lied to exit pollers (according to MSNBC whose exits had O winning by 3). Something
was totally rotten in Denmark. I haven't looked back since on my hate train !

43. 8/24/08 . . . . 1/20/09 now don't you feel better

Regarding the 31,000 voters. Its a little like a team arguing that the should have won the Super Bowl but the officials gave them one bad call - or they would have.

If your going to take power and use power it has to be decisive. If we are going to govern it can't be because we just barely won. We have to show that it was a clear win and won the right way.

On May 20th everything will change - trust me - and the party will start focusing on a 50 state strategy.

Two months from now these will be the 'good ole days'.

12. No. I live in San Francisco.
Spanish would have been my first choice language, but I figured that would have been a little obvious.

32. Sorry, been drinking...
I just meant to say that not only are we capable of electing a good and decent person as president, but that we will do so. I helped vote Obama into the senate, unfortunately missed out on helping him increase his lead here in Iowa, but look forward to voting for him as the next president of the United States of America.

38. I'm a karaoke DJ
and my system is computerized. If I couldn't drink, be coherent, and type all at the same time, I'd have been fired by now. As a bonus, I've been able to get a few more people fired up for Obama here and there, although I try not to make too much of a scene about politics, as people are there to have a good time and relax. However, if someone makes the mistake of trying to engage me in a serious conversation...

him - what are the chances that I am talking to
one of them.

41. True, yet somewhat funny story...
about three years ago I was MCing the Halloween costume contest. Someone came up with devil horns and a business suit on, and I pointed out that he must have been dressed as Bush. Damn near everyone in the place cracked up; but after the whole thing was done with, he came up to me rather pissed off. Turns out he was part of the (at the time) 33% crowd. You never know...
