hastening the arrival of November 5

I haven't written a post in a while and writing one is long overdue. I have a few thoughts I need to just air.....
I'm so ready for this election to be over. Silly season is in high gear with all sort of shenanigans ranging from voter fraud, mean spirited commentary, to all out lies.
O'Bama seems to be wanting to distance himself from all the shady people and organizations who have gotten him where he is, and disavow that he ever worked with them. How disengenious and untrustworthy can you get?
McCain seems to have lost steam and not want to fight hard to win. Nor do I think he has the most competent staff capable of winning.
Anyone who thinks McCain would be a 3rd term Bush Administration hasn't paid very close attention to the internal battles on the GOP and conservative side of politics in the past 8 years.
I think it's interesting that Michelle O'Bama really isn't out on the trail making speeches....mmm....negatives polling too high on her, perhaps?
I think Sarah Palin is breath of fresh air to the whole process and I love the fact that she's just like us. You can't accuse her of being "out of touch."
I think regardless of how talented Tina Fey might be, SNL is showing a real lack of respect for the electoral process by hitting below the belt. Implying incest by Todd Palin?! Come on!!!
I'm really curious what the 24 hour cable news outlets and the bloggers are going to talk about once the election is over.....well there's always "the transition", "the first 100 days in office", some concocted scandal.... I mean some of the channels will actually have to rename hours of programming.
Oh and one final note, I really wonder if all of a sudden the rest of the world who typically hate us will all of a sudden LOVE us just because/if Barack O'Bama is elected. I would argue those that hate America will ALWAYS hate America regardless of who its leader is. And that we shouldn't try to seek their good opinion. My preference would be for our leaders to do what's best for OUR country and its people.
Can I get an amen?!
