Well folks, this week marks the end of those incessant phone calls, ads on tv, all admonishing us to vote for McCain or Obama and why each deserves our vote. After receiving sometimes as many as 2-3 calls in under 60 minutes at times, I am thoroughly fed up with that mode of advertising their claims to fame. Makes me wish I had kept the damned caller ID on the phone lines after all.
But anyway, after Tuesday's election, the next big date will be January 20th so not too many more weeks left of these lovely little witticisms then, is there?

"There is a --we've got a homeownership gap in America, let's face it. Over 75 percent of white Americans own their home, and less than 50 percent of Hispanos and African Americans don't own their home. And that's a gap, that's a homeownership gap. And we've got to do something about it."

Vote? Done!
I'm excited about Tuesday. I hope we do well.
I can't even imagine how much you must be inundated with campaign stuff, living in a battleground state as you do. We've pretty much been able to avoid a lot of the hardcore stuff.
And now it's just one more day until we cast our ballots and see which way the country has decided.
Cheers!
I will be watching from here. I think most of Canada will too we are all very interested but I am glad I don't get those calls.
Words more wise have never been uttered. So much thought in those quotes. Cheers Jeni!!
