For real change in the White House, don't vote for the old vanilla guy. The United States of America has 219 years of old vanilla guys, 43 old vanilla guys to be exact, and enough is enough. Unfortunately for Hillary Clinton (and me), the U.S. wasn't ready for a vanilla broads--yet--(we broads didn't get the right to vote until 1920) so give the chocolate guy a chance. Vote Obama.

I don't vote for color, I don't vote for party, I don't vote for age. I vote for CHANGE.
I don't think I have ever missed a chance to vote since 1969, but I have an idealistic memory and a little selective amnesia. I do remember seeing Robert Kennedy at Cal State Northridge two days before he passed, I didn't feel like I missed voting for Humphrey, two moths before I turned 18, but I was an "active" Conscientious Objector, so they classified me Undesirable Element!
Lucky you, to have seen Bobby! I was a teenager, very young and impressionable. The Kennedy's made a big impression on me... quite the opposite view that my family had of them. I respected those who objected, I respected those who returned... we are all brothers and sisters. I will never forget John McCain, however, right after 911... when he snubbed his nose at Crosy, Stills and Nash. They were all on some late night talk show and Crosby, Stills and Nash were doing one of there songs, in anguish over what had just occurred, trying to pull the country together, in Love. They had been very respectful towards McCain... who wouldn't be, we all felt compassion towards what he had endured. But, McCain angry queried them as to where they had been, when he was a prisoner of war??? They remained respectful and simply replied, "We were, in our own way, fighting for your freedom, back home." This showed me McCain's intolerance for different views... and I believe, today, that he is still fighting that war. We will not let those, who have died, die in vain? That seems no reason to endure more death...
