| For all of us in the United States, eight years was enough. Eight weeks was enough. At last, we have a chance to redeem our country and prove we’re better than what George W. Bush has made of us.
John McCain’s right about one thing: Barack Obama is the most liberal U.S. senator – even more liberal than Ted Kennedy. When was the last time we had a chance to send the most liberal senator to the White House? Trust me! It won’t happen again in our lifetimes.
Every vote is critical, even in hard-red states like Texas and Alabama, or true-blue ones like New York, California and Michigan. We need to create a massive popular vote that gives Obama a stunning mandate to return this country to “we, the people”. Let’s write one for the history books and rocket Obama into the White House.
People should expect trouble, but stand their ground. They can’t let some clerk turn them away from the polls. It’s important to be careful in the voting booth too. The ballot reads like a Sudoku puzzle. Voters must be prepared for long lines, but that’s alright because they know how to bring the party along with them. Why not make new friends or plot a local revolution?
The 28-year rule of Republicans (and Democrats who act like Republicans) looks like it’s over. My God, I thought it’d never end. We may be entering the Promised Land.
