In Oregon and Washington it's all Obama. In both states he drew record crowds at speeches and, like Kathleen, I hardly see any McCain stickers.

In Alaska it is much more McCain, but I don't see much support either way actually. But I am only in the city of Anchorage, not the rural areas.


I do think that America is indeed ready for a black president - more so than for a woman president. If he loses the election, I don't think it is because of the color of his skin, but because people are stupid and too easily flattered by McCains 'rar rar US rar rar we are great rar rar family values rar rar US is the best' talks. Whereas Obama makes people think a bit more and doesn't tend to state the obvious.


Ok, here is my favorite about McCain: He voted against greater availability of college education for military personnel. The reason he gave - and he was VERY proud of his analysis and the crowd roared - was that to have an effective military, we need to retain our personnel. If we give them options, such as education - they will leave the military!!!!

Insanity! The crowd gobbled it up and was smitten cause it is so pro-american. While Obama voted for more options and college education for the men and women who served in active duty. Somehow that is not american.
