I've been working on political campaigns since the late 70's, before I even reached voting age. But it is the first that comes with the benefit of 45 years experience in the particular moment of history we find ourselves in today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-24531338577015437492008-08-30T18:20:00.000-06:002008-08-30T18:20:00.000-06:00McCain really needs to make hay over Obama's 'pres...McCain really needs to make hay over Obama's 'present' votes, This shows a lack of character in my mind.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467510776931664234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-57712428132588637552008-08-30T12:00:00.000-06:002008-08-30T12:00:00.000-06:00Jennifer:Not to sound like an old geezer, but I re...Jennifer:<BR/>Not to sound like an old geezer, but I rememember the first campaign I felt as you do with your candidate. It's a great ride for political junkies. And, it's the only time you'll feel this way when it's over. <BR/><BR/>Life is like that. First experiences never measure up to subsequent events.

Perhaps it's because of my age and subsequent life experience gained awareness, but this has been the most amazing political season I've ever had the pleasure of participating in, top to bottom. It's going to be a good fight to the finish, which is closer than it appears. <BR/><BR/>However it turns out, I'm going to miss the 'getting there' part of this particular journey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-37673434967919519312008-08-30T08:49:00.000-06:002008-08-30T08:49:00.000-06:00I saw a bit of Lewis, too.

Meghan McCain did recently as she, too, was a registered Independent. Now she's a registered Republican to honor her father's journey, as she so elequently said on her terrific blog. And, my son? Registered Democrat this year.<BR/><BR/>Hey, maybe there is room for all thoughts in both parties. Even those uptight Republicans.Karen Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692791436106987353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-87832840210549743842008-08-30T08:43:00.000-06:002008-08-30T08:43:00.000-06:00John Lewis spoke - emotionally and eloquently, and...John Lewis spoke - emotionally and eloquently, and for himself - at Invesco Field prior to Obama taking the stage. There was a huge block of time given to celebrating MLK's life, work and the anniversary of his speech on the mall in Washington. The entire coda of Obama's speech was in tribute to MLK. And how does the line you quoted from the speech say, in any way, shape or form, that if you don't vote for him it's because he's the bi-racial candidate? <BR/><BR/>On another note, I imagine Todd and Track Palin will be changing their voter registrations pretty quickly, don't you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
