Grandma and Obama
This is not breaking news or anything, but put a smile on my face.

This is an excerpt from an e-mail I received from my grandma, who lives in a very small town in Illinois, after Super Tuesday:

HI, We are thinking about you today in this terrible snow storm. Hope you are keeping warm, and safe in this weather. I was election Judge yesterday, and got home last night before the storm got too bad. When I am an election judge I have to be at the poll by 5:00 a.m. and get home about 9:00 p.m. Obama had the most votes for the Dems. This is a very republican county. I know I handed some democratic ballots to some republicans, so he did very well here. When is Wisconsin Primary? We also want to know Obama's age, and is his mother dead?


First of all, I think it is totally cool that my grandma e-mails me (and asks me random questions about Obama.)
Second of all, I think she is totally awesome for being an election judge.
Third of all, Republicans are voting for Obama.

Just thought I'd share.

I just got this email from people struck by the tornado in TN:

"We lost everything in our house ... if only we had enough hope and change to bring back all of those priceless memories!"

Now I realize that this is kind of a pointless argument but... Barack is exactly the type of President who would help give these people hope in a time when they needed it most!
