Great comment from a Canadian on the Washington Wire St Louis Obama event...
... not from me (unfortunately):



"Our dear brothers and sisters, uncles and cousins, moms and dads, grandparents and their parents, bankers and bakers, farmers and workers, students and teachers, doctors and nurses, our dearest friends and neighbours .. Please go out and vote for this man.

Don’t read the polls, wait for a call, or watch for the news, please go out, and vote.

Vote if it’s clear skies and sunshine, vote if it’s raining or snowing, vote if you have to walk a mile or wait for hours, vote if you have to crawl to vote for this good man, this decent man, this good American, this fine citizen of the world.

He will be good for you, he will be good for us, and he will be good for the common man on this earth, and her, itself.

Please… Go out and vote.
Comment by The Canadians - October 18, 2008 at 2:58 pm"

1. People in Georgia are so fired up...
...that I think they'd ride a skateboard in the pouring rain to get to the polls this year.

3. Gives me shivers.
And if I have to crawl to the polls, camp out in the rain, poke the screen with my nose and sing the National Anthem to prove my "American-ness", I'll be there.
