I am a long time supporter of yours. Months ago, I hopped onto BarackObama.com and joined your fantastic online community. Nice work on that social network by the way. Very nice. I have found lots of cute men in my area who are also card carrying liberals…and I feel like I am truly part of a movement with like-minded individuals.

However, I think you need to read this. Because I can’t help but notice, that my e-mails from either you, Michelle or your campaign manager are increasing in frequency – to as many as three a day!

I hate to admit this, but like other brands (and, yes, you are a brand), I get a bad taste in my mouth for anyone who spams the hell out of my inbox. And, after a while, I just don’t open them anymore. In other words, you’re being annoying. And annoying is not good.

Please, please, for the love of the Democratic party and all things holy – please stop breaking the e-mail laws of etiquette! It’s just bad form.

I still love you and will still be voting for you in November.

Sincerely,

Ms. Single Mama

3. Dear Lurkers:

Did Senator McCain have an affair? The New York Times says there’s a good chance. And it was with a lobbyist. Oops. Here’s an excerpt from the Times article.

“Early in Senator John McCain’s first run for the White House eight years ago, waves of anxiety swept through his small circle of advisers.

A female lobbyist had been turning up with him at fund-raisers, visiting his offices and accompanying him on a client’s corporate jet. Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself — instructing staff members to block the woman’s access, privately warning her away and repeatedly confronting him, several people involved in the campaign said on the condition of anonymity”

The lucky gal, Vicki Iseman, looks eerily like McCain’s wife. Creepy! Men are so weird. Okay – got that out of the way. Now the meat of the matter. Why am I blogging about this? Because it’s ridiculous. Well, not entirely ridiculous, she’s a lobbyist so there are some ethical issues involved. Here’s what’s ridiculous – that this even matters. Politicians are people too. Maybe if we weren’t so hyper-critical they would be better leaders. Maybe if they could all divorce their wives and be truly happy they would be better leaders.

Look at Hillary and Bill. Makes me sick. They probably haven’t slept together in 20 years. It’s one of the reasons why I can’t respect her – because when the Lewinksy affair went down I naturally assumed she would leave him. Does anyone remember the blue dress? And the cigar? But, nope. She stayed. Yuck. Who does that? Who walks around in the public eye with everyone knowing you aren’t getting any from your husband? She should have left him years ago. But they’re together because they’re political partners – nothing more. And anyone who thinks otherwise is stupid, blind or both.

So here’s what we’re telling our daughters and sons:

Stay with cheating husband = good, now you can run for President.

Cheat on wife = very, very, very bad.

Divorce wife so you don’t have to cheat on her = even worse.

Poor McCain. I’m an Obama girl but I also respect McCain. And actually voted for him when he was running against Satan’s Minion. This election year I was looking forward to a fair fight. I hope we all just ignore this story and not turn it into a national rucous.

I usually don’t even go here…into politics on this blog. But as a mother, a woman and a liberal I feel it is my civic duty to pass this on. This video is crazy. And just another reason why I’m supporting Barack Obama. Why Barack? Read this article and you’ll have my reasons.

Two weeks ago another single mom and one of my best friends called me from Michigan. “What’s up with Obama? I know you like him…why should I like him? Should I like him? A co-worker tried to start a debate today and I didn’t even know what to say. So…tell me.”

“Have you heard him speak?” I asked her. No, of course she hadn’t, when would she get the time? Darn it. Us single moms are so busy. Hearing him speak for the first time was all it took for me. First the 2004 Democratic National Convention, when he was just running for Senate and then his presidential nomination speech. And the latest – last night’s in Iowa.

Raised by a single mother, Barack Obama, would give our country the change we’ve been wanting for so long and in my mind, is by far the best candidate for the job. For me the choice is pretty clear.

Is it for you? Let’s start talking about it. Read up or watch up. Here’s a great video of Obama on the Daily Show.
