What a great thing to have witnessed Bev. Hope is a powerful and
necessary message. The year before last my friend's son and my
cousin's son, both teens, killed themselves (unrelated suicides)
because they felt life was hopeless. A lot of the crime you read
about stems from a lack of hope. I know it will be a difficult road
ahead for Obama, if elected, to translate a message of hope into some
semblance of governance that might take the edge off of people's
despair. I'm not expecting ice cream, but I am expecting a shift
towards much better things.
Christians won't know until the end if their hope of heaven will
manifest, but that doesn't deter their hopefullness. Obama, who is
neither Christ or Anti-Christ, but an intelligent, fervent politician
with a message of hope for a troubled America can be assessed in only
four years. It's an exciting time when people like this little old
lady feel inspired to get involved. I think no matter what happens in
tonight's election or over the next four years, something has changed
for the better already.

While I was there, I really almost lost my composure. A little old_______________________________________________ Homestead list and
lady came in who had never voted before. She could barely walk and
needed help to vote. She was black, and 87 years old. She voted
for Obama, and was smiling the whole time. It really affected me... But anyway, no one asked if I was Rep or Dem..I signed a card
and I provided a photo ID..
