I have been disappointed as Republicans have tried to hammer away at facts and have not spoken to the broader issues. I just wanted someone on the Republican side to really talk straight and speak to our hearts. Your post and Obama did that well. Although my heart vacillated from disbelief to revulsion at the underlying philosophies Obama espoused. But that is no matter. He does seem to truly care about people, even if his philisophies are misguided in my mind. ;)<BR/><BR/>I will say, one wonderful thing that would happen if he were elected is a racial healing that is really unbelievable. I have had the priviledge of developing a very close friendship with a black woman over the past three months, and I am amazed at what this milestone means to her, completely outside all of the issues themselves.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this experience mom. It has been great!cadh 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16229405846825667683noreply@blogger.com
