#1 I'm going out on limb here tonight.... it is caused by an event in my office today.

Gateway Pundit has here examples of headlines that yes, Obama's race will make a difference.

Being of the Southern genes, I kinda believed that. But, today, I formed a different opinion. Those that I would expect to vote against Obama for his race, I found today, no --- they are voting against him, cause they are afraid of his thoughts, his associates and his plans for this country.

I don't want the race issue to win or lose...... I want him to lose based on his strong liberal voting of those 143 days in Congress and his association with folks that I just don't believe have the love of America in their hearts. Oh, they have a love for America, but it is such a different love from mine...... .

And maybe he will win.

Interesting happening in my office today.... for whatever reason, our owner decided that every florescent light in our something like 30,000 sq ft would be replaced. Not with those energy saving types, but with those, that on the box, read, "lost of 40% of your energy."

This engineer/business/small company owner, did his math, and found, that yes, he could recoup that 40% expenditure, in 40 years, and he didn't plan to be around then!

Anyway, these two guys are not only changing out lights, but doing extensive rewiring. (Yea, I jumped, when one, on a ladder just feet from my desk, screamed, when he got shocked!)

No big deal, except, in your cubbie, nothing can be happening, cause you can't get to your computer, you can't take phone calls, (can't hear), etc.

Later in the day, I'm finally back in my cubbie, checking around the Web. Clicked into HotAir, scrolling down, and from behind me, I hear this voice, "I hope you are not voting for him."

I check my screen. There is a pic of Obama. Since my back is to this voice, I turn around, look at this guy on a ladder, changing out a fluorescent bulb, and simply state, "No."

Here's my point. Here is Joe Six-Pack as Sarah called him in her interview with Hugh Hewitt. His next statement to me, "There are lots of us out here that are coming out of the woodwork to vote against this guy."

Further discussion, it wasn't a Texan being racist.... he and his friends, his family, "Why, did you know? His best friends in college and after college have all been Communist?... he has been with Communists all his life..... I don't want that."

Interesting..... Mr. Six-Pack Joe didn't have an ounce of racism in him (which I was expecting). As we talked further, it was about Obama's ties to the communist/socialist elite of our country. He knew about this, and he and his friends/family didn't like that.

He talked further of how the media had tried to convince him otherwise... but, he just wasn't buying it.

Seems, that convention acceptance speech in Denver, (with his arms waving, he expansively described that temple, he got so into the description, he was at a lack of words).... well, that just didn't go over too well with him.... or any that he knew. That appearance is when Obama lost his vote.

Head hanging....he says, "Always voted Democrat, but I just can't vote for where this guy wants to take us. I love my country, we can't let him have it."

I believed him when he stated that "The polls aren't finding us... but we are out here, and we will vote to save our country from Obama."

You know what it is? As Mr. Joe Six-Pack told me, "We in the woodwork see right through him..."

I gathered that the MSM has lost Joe....

#2 From your words to Gods ear Sherry.

My wife goes for her Naturization interview next week. I don't know what the process is if she gets approved - does she have to wait for her certificate I wonder? Because she can register within 15 days of the election here and she does *not* like Obama - sees right through him.

#4 Congratulations to Mrs. CrazyFool, and welcome to the family! Check with your county voting headquarters to see what they require to register her once she's approved.

#5 Mrs. Fool can contact her local ACORN rep & become registered as a Democrat very quickly - probably even last month.

#6 Unfortunately, Texans will vote for McCain. Whether they do so with a 5 percent margin or a 30 percent margin is immaterial to the contest. The numbers all across the south outside of Virginia and Florida (which increasingly aren't part of the South in a demographic sense) bear your anecdotal evidence out, Sherry. But those states would have only gone Democratic in an electoral rout.

Colorado and New Mexico and New Hampshire might be swung by the sort of thing you heard from your electrician. They're "New West" and often seem suspended between the South and San Francisco.

We need the hard-Democratic bitter-clingers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan to decide against the glorious communistic mirrorball, and this financial panic stuff is definitively Not Helping. They tend to run for their FDR shrines when times get tough.

#10 The "world" can have the ~~little weasel~~ One.

Maybe he can travel from country to country, being their president for a time before moving on ~~to destroy another country~~. They're all so PC over there, they'll praise his "wonderful work."
