As a registered Republican, I agree with why he chose to break with his party and vote for the person he feels is the best to lead this country. I happen to agree. John McCain has changed in many ways, that I do not feel he is the right person. Although I am a woman, I cannot vote for the wrong woman. Sarah Palin is not the woman I would want to represent the female population in the USA.
I told this story before, but does anyone remember when the Negro Baseball players where in the early stages of integration? Satchel Paige was, by far, a better player than Jackie Robinson. However, Jackie Robinson had one major component going for him, he was educated. The men who chose Jackie over Satchel made the right choice for the successful integration of black baseball players for the Majors. Had they brought Satchel in first, who knows what would have happened. Satchel was a bit, according to the books we have regarding the Negro Leagues, let's say a Party Boy. They already had Cobb and Ruth, they did not need another heavy drinker. This is why the powers that be need to make sure if they are going to make a huge leap, such as bringing on a female Republican for the VP slot, make sure it is the right leap.
Sarah Palin is not the right woman for the position. Those who know me, know that I do not feel that Hillary was the right choice either. But, she does have more experience than Palin. But, I have never like the Clintons, not one bit. Who would be the right woman? I believe there are plenty of experienced women on the Republican side that would have been honored to fight with John McCain, but they chose her. BIG MISTAKE!
I hope those undecided voters look into their hearts and minds and choose Obama. We cannot get over confident, everyone needs to vote! I am trying to spread the word in my VERY REPUBLICAN state, and some just won't listen. But for those who do or will listen, OBAMA is the way to go. Have faith that this calm, rational and very smart man will lead the USA back to being the greatest country!
GO OBAMA/BIDEN

Nicely drawn baseball parallel. I really enjoy your posts.
Yes we can!
Thanks for your post. I am encouraged by your insight. My wife and I live in the same development you do and we feel very out of place when expressing our support for Obama/Biden. We have great neighbors, but they are clearly not Obama supporters. The great thing is that even with our political differences , we can still get along as neighbors and friends. I do wish they would see the big difference between McCain/Palin and Obama/Biden.
See you at the polls.
Of course you are brilliant!!
And for any of my good dear friends that have worried about Obama--many of them have felt so comforted by the Colin Powell endorsement! And if anyone hasn't seen the whole thing, it needs to be seen in it's entirety on you tube!
Thanks for your great posts Melissa! You go girl! It's not easy in OP to wave that Democrat flag...you'd feel so at home in California!
Go girl!
Yes we can! And for Mike Rudd, putting his priorities in order for us in such a proud, noble way-- we need to do all that he would do to make sure to put our country in the right hands! At the very least!
You go girlfriend!
