Dear people of West Virginia

Good for her! (4.00 / 3)

Good for Ms. Morris!  What we really need in West Virginia, right now, is for lots of people to just step up and say they are voting for Obama.  We particularly need to have people who have something to lose publicly supporting the Dem ticket.

In specific, I am sick of Dem politicians who feel they can't openly support Obama and win their own race because of racism.   If there were ever a time to confront our state's racism problem, it is now.  Openly, specifically, forcefully:  "The repuglicans have run our country into a ditch, Obama is a leader who can lead us out - and you won't vote for him because he's black? Are you kidding me?!!"

Here is how one West Virginian is grappling with racism in his home state:

o/t kids pick the president joke (0.00 / 0)

You know how kids learn about elections by holding mock elections...

A teacher speaking to her class asks the kids the kids to raise their hands if they were for McCain.  Many kids raised their hands.  

One little boy didn't raise his hand so the teacher asks him why.  The little boy said "My mother is a democrat and my father is a democrat so that makes me a democrat".  

The teacher then asks him "what if your mother was a moron and your father was a moron, what would you be?"  The little boy then said "I would be voting for McCain!"

Bonus points to the original author for spelling 'moron' correctly. :-)
