Ready for election day

I am so ready for November 4th. I want to know the outcome so we can start moving forward. Of course, I say that, hoping with everything that I've got that it will be Barack Obama. I have been disappointed in McCain during this election cycle, but I don't worry about him winning except for the Sara Palin thing. I do not want her being VP. I do not want to risk her being President. She does not represent me or what I want for our country.

I am not nearly as well spoken as Colin Powell in why I want Obama for president. When I listened to Mr. Powell's endorsement, it's like he was reading my mind. He said all the things that I wasn't able to articulate nearly as well. I actually misted up listening to him. He was awesome.

I don't know what anyone can do about our current state of affairs, but Powell made feel feel hopeful. Obama makes me feel hopeful. I listen to him and he makes me feel like we can actually do it ... we can recover.

I want a sound country for my grandson to grow up in. I was him to have opportunities. I want him to be proud of his country. But I don't want him paying for our mistakes.
