I'm a 59-year-old underemployed widow on a Cobra health insurance that will end in 6 mos., and frankly my mind just goes round and round in circles when I think about it. I need a little help deciding what to do. After that, if you were willing, some suggestions on the underemployed would be appreciated too.

It's 5:40. This is a very personal diary. I voted yesterday.

It's been a rough day for me. I phone banked for Obama campaign for change and that was good except for one Hispanic dude. He was very upset with the Obama team. He had called three times to volunteer and no one had ever called him back and if that is how Obama treated the Hispanic people he was voting for McCain.

I told him I didn't know what happened and turned my phone over to our leader. After he talked to him for awhile and hung up I was asked to write down his name and number, which I did. Later, another member of the team who spoke fluent Spanish called him back. I was curious about the outcome.

The answer and my fathers email after the fold

I just received an email from my republican father. I love him dearly, he's 84. I made the mistake of going online when my father was turning 80 and having Bush send him a birthday card. (Hey a birthday card from your president is a big deal, so sorry). Now he spends a lot of time trying to convince me to vote republican (so, so, sorry).

One of our biggest communication problems is Faux news. He gets all his 'ammo' discussion points from there. He sent me this email today. I know it doesn't seem like much but it is clear that faux is going after all the dems down ticket. And my father is passing along the 'scary' prospects to me.

(Do you think I could get Obama to send my dad a card?) My dad's email:

And apparently PBS. Interesting. Below the fold is a copy of the email I received from my republican brother. And here I thought I was the only one getting annoyed with that PBS poll.

This is the latest email slime from the deep deep red side of my family. My Minnesota brother sent it. He's a vet, he would like to retire next year and he spreads this stuff as fast as he gets it. He started it out by saying the he had researched it all - I told him that any lies he sent would result in donations to Obama. I'm going to be sending a donation.

There is no changing my brother's mind, he has been getting this kind of thing since Obama was first nominated. But I will refute this. It's vague so it will be a challenge. It begins immediately after the fold.

I would appreciate help refuting it but if that's not your thing, please don't bother reading it - it's wingnut and not even very original...

I'm listening to the commentary and it's all Obama didn't reach anyone. That he was removed from people. I could be complete off the mark but I am flat out tired of the guy who I like to drink beer with running the country. I want a president. Someone presidential. I don't want to listen to some old guys war stories, or ever, EVER, have to see that stupid little laugh of Bush's again.

Someone smart would be so refreshing, is that too much to ask? It must be. For over an hour it's Obama has to show more emotion, he seems to float above it all. Good! He can probably see the big picture floating around up there. The big picture is good, isn't it?

Or The Fantasy Theory of a 'used to be' McCain Fan

I want know what happened to John McCain. The America Hero John McCain: the rebel, the POW, the romantic fighter pilot (you have to admit he was kinda cute in his flight suit (gasp, sexist!), that darling of the press corps all American John McCain. So, I worked up a theory as to what could have changed an honorable man into well, into this 2008 presidential candidate Senator John McCain.

The theory and 'proof' below the fold
