While Stonegate’s End is unable to offer a unified endorsement, this blog is able to endorse the Obamas, and casted one vote in that direction today. That’s Barak and Michelle. There are several reasons behind this endorsement, but one conclusion kept repeating itself: “The Obamas may just be who the Clinton’s pretended to be four terms ago.”
Other thoughts:
* Barack was taken outside the U.S. for many years of his youth. One reason he sees America united is because that is how he thought about it for so long– home.
* Barack, like Tiger, embodies our diversity and makes the most of it.
* Barack’s mother was an intellectual and an atheist, teaching him to think about everything. She may not have made all the right decisions, but her decision to send him home to be raised by his grandmother put him on track for today.
* Michelle is an accomplished professional Harvard graduate who proudly says she is a mother first. You could tell the way she said it you better never suggest otherwise. (I’ve never heard Hillary sound that convincing.) She says work-life balance would be one of her major causes as First Lady.
* It’s good to cast this vote in Georgia.
Polls close here in 10 minutes.
I voted for Obama this morning. Then, when I read the newspaper, I realized Obama would win Georgia regardless and I should have voted for McCain, who is in a much closer race.
I voted for Romney (now out of the race) and Dad voted for Fred Thompson (who resigned the very day we mailed them in). So at least your vote counted for something. I would like to see Huckabee as President and McCain as VP. Sure don’t want Florida’s governor Crist to be VP with McCain and that is a possibility.
I read an editorial today about the fact that Bill Clinton would be very upset if Obama won because he will go down in history as being the best thing since John Kennedy. JFK was Bill Clinton’s idol. I don’t know about Obama, but I do like him a heck of a lot better that Billary.
