This single mama is 100% behind Barack Obama. If you have a minute – read this article to find out why. Here is an excerpt from the article by Andrew Sullivan of The Atlantic:
“Sometimes, when the world is changing rapidly, the greater risk is caution. Close-up in this election campaign, Obama is unlikely. From a distance, he is necessary. At a time when America’s estrangement from the world risks tipping into dangerous imbalance, when a country at war with lethal enemies is also increasingly at war with itself, when humankind’s spiritual yearnings veer between an excess of certainty and an inability to believe anything at all, and when sectarian and racial divides seem as intractable as ever, a man who is a bridge between these worlds may be indispensable.”
And watch this amazing video. It’s a beautiful music video directed by Bob Dylan’s son and featuring Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas…very, very stirring.

Regardless of who wins tomorrow (the polls now show the two neck and neck)… one thing is for certain – this election has energized our country. Republican or Democrat – we should all be extremely proud to be Americans in this moment in history.
Unfortunately my state isn’t voting until March 4. But it might not be locked up tomorrow – so I might get a chance to vote for him. Posting this is the least I can do.
