QofS: i know i’ve left a lot of ‘you go girl’ comments lately, but right now i’m working on a post that might seem to disagree with some of your obama message. so, in case i don’t make it clear over at my place, i still stand by everything that i’ve said about you here: what’s going on at supertiff.com is just my own internalization of what’s going on. i’m going to link to you, of course…so i just want to take this time to point out that even though i may come to a somewhat different conclusion than you have (which surprises the crap out of me actually…i really thought i had my mind made up) i still really value the conversation that you’ve got going.

/horrible cheesy comment.

I was fortunate to meet Michelle Obama today. If I wasn’t completely sure before today – I am so incredibly sure now. It has been such a long, long time since I have been so excited about a potential next president and first lady.

I have stopped paying attention to cheesy and below the knees political tactics. And, that’s one of the things that is keeping me so very engaged with the Obama campaign.

i come from a family where one side (dad’s) is about as conservative as it can get, and yet i’ve always had my grandpa, a sort-or silent malcontent, who will sit at the table over vodka maritinis and roll his eyes at me as we listen to all of their texas-oil propaganda. (it’s been a long string of years, you know?) anyway, the point is, i was surprised as all get-out when my grandpa told me last fall that he was scared of obama and his muslim connections. my grandpa! my partner in liberalness! my silent partner in the family!

the point is, i’ve heard it from other people, too.

so, you and i (and many other people) may not be fooled…but, invariably, some people will be. and trust me, it pains me to out my grandpa in this way. it’s just a good thing he doesn’t really understand the internet.

i think he reads my blog sometimes, but i’m not sure he understands the whole ‘click links and end up other places’ phenomenon.

Yet another reason why we moms should be running the country — no bullshit tolerated!
