Democracy

Nothing like watching democracy in action. As I mirrored the Obama door-walkers today in Madison, I must have been pitied for even attempting to find conservative voters off Nakoma Road.

Alas, the work of democracy is never complete.

Regardless of the outcome tonight, let us remember one of the first and most famous acts of democracy was "Give us Barrabas!"

The crowd asked to release Barrabas and crucify Jesus. They spoke and their desire was met. While no one is talking about crucifying anyone, it is merely a notion of perspective.

We shall ask and we shall receive. If Barack Obama wins, we'll be on the edge of our seats for hope and change - a rightful position after his promises. It will be time for people to see that Democrats' plans are disastrous for our economy, our livelihood and our values. If McCain wins, he will have to work hard to shift the bitch-and-blame-Bush attitude toward a plan of progress. I wish either of them well.

The state of our nation depends on their success.
