Absolutely bizarre, I hope they learned a lesson, but I'm sure they didn't.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551259120717710718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076041415469800377.post-30298003656925406592008-11-15T02:42:00.000-06:002008-11-15T02:42:00.000-06:00MIdwest Mom: Well thanks for spoiling tomorrow's t...<B>MIdwest Mom:</B> Well thanks for spoiling tomorrow's twist that J- may or may not be her own evil twin, pregnant with my arch-enemy's love child.<BR/><BR/><B>People in the Sun:</B> As they say, there's no noun that can't be verbed, so I think you're in the clear. I hope to hear all about it if you manage to smooth those tickets after all.<BR/><BR/>Also, if you hear a credible word on age guidelines for tickets, let me know, because if by some chance we do get to go, I'd like to not have to leave the kids at the hotel with the TV on next to a big pile of snacks and a sharpened stick for self-defense.<BR/><BR/><B>beth</B> and <B>Vodka Mom:</B> I agree with you about John McCain-- it made me kind of sad to realize he was emerging at that moment from behind the horrible wall a national campaign forces people to build, trying to be all things to all people, and that he really was still under there somewhere, waiting for the madness to be over with one way or another.<BR/><BR/>It reminded me of why I was so relieved when he pulled ahead in the GOP race, as an emergency backup candidate who wasn't as bad as Guiliani and some of the others. Back then, it seemed like a win-win election, as long as we could keep the Clintons out of the White House.<BR/><BR/>There isn't much to be accomplished by me getting into how my opinions changed over the summer and fall-- right now is a time to look forward, and as positively as possible on everyone, so we can just dig ourselves out of this mess, together.<BR/><BR/><B>keith:</B> Thanks-- you should go for the inauguration, since it's way closer to you anyway.

It is fascinating to see the things that people have said on the internet and this blog and their perceptions of the historic event.

We voted in the right man, but the other was quite magnificent in his concession, I must say.Vodka Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04734323418017847775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076041415469800377.post-9222095903585459072008-11-14T16:03:00.000-06:002008-11-14T16:03:00.000-06:00The sentiment you heard from John McCain in the en...The sentiment you heard from John McCain in the end is the real John McCain and I would say that the campaign was equally negative on both sides.bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003356754195026388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076041415469800377.post-77400836431787811512008-11-14T13:28:00.000-06:002008-11-14T13:28:00.000-06:00Sounds great.

Even down here amid the corn & bean fields I saw a crowd on election day. It seemed to me as though it was the first time I saw the real breadth of America represented at our polling place, and I will admit it was a heartening sight.<BR/><BR/>As for part 4... are you sure you're not writing for a soap opera? I can just hear it now, "Tune in tomorrow as Dr. Drake and Shilo McGillicutty meet again amid the cheering throng. Will they once again rediscover their undying passion?"<BR/><BR/>I can't stand soaps.<BR/><BR/>-MMMidwest Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095161837187839812noreply@blogger.com
