Our lives will change today.

Ali: So VERY exciting! You're in my thoughts!
(BTW: I AM a Dem and if I lived in Oregon, I'd vote for Chris!)

One word United States "VOTE"

good luck to you and your family today!

dude- tons of good thoughts, joy and love being sent the Edwards' way.
:)
P

i just voted!!
GO CHRIS!!!
i am rooting for you!!

thinking of you guys today...:) miley

I can't imagine what it must be like…
I just walked over to the polls, on this unseasonably warm day (to the point that i can't ever remember walking to the polls, until dan reminded me, 'Uh, Cathy…it's two blocks.') but nevertheless…
i tried to imagine looking on a ballot and seeing someone's name that i actually knew. You know?
You guys rock. Chris is cool. Seriously. I can't imagine doing what he's doing. Either way. You're right. It's all good.
Love you.

Today is about making choices. As an American we have been given that right to choose. A party line should not determine the "better" choice. People need to make the choice that is good for them. Based on what I have read and seen, Chris would be my choice as he wants to do what is right, regardless of what others think it should be. It seems as if he has made a choice to represent everyone. Best of luck today. Lets hope the right choice is made and he wins. He made a great choice to take a risk and my prayers are with you and your family, that the rest of Oregon makes the right choice too!!!

I am a Canadian, but I am sure hoping the Democrats and particularly your Chris do well in the mid terms. My thoughts are with you on this very exciting day - I know that no matter what the outcome, your family will continue to work for justice and all that makes both our countries places that are good for ALL citizens.
Good luck and enjoy the day - what a wonderful and exciting opportunity!

Ali, if I can respond to your statement that you are "trying to keep it all in perspective and know that whatever happens it will be for something good."
The reason for this is because you and Chris are passionate, intelligent, and caring people. You will always make good of whatever happens in your lives. Whatever influence you are able to have on your community will always be positive and wonderful.
I hope Chris wins, but either way, I look forward to hearing what you two decide to do with the chanages that come!

South African good wishes to your Chris - I wish we SA's were as serious about becoming involved and ultimately voting. America can thank Chris for making himself part of it's history. Stongs

what a remarkable time for you and your family. thank you for taking the time to share it with all of us:)

So excited for your family. :) You are so right about change. Chris impacted change by getting out there and making a difference. Taking the race to a higher level and raising the bar on what Oregon citizens should expect. :) That is amazing.

I thought of you and your family this morning. Wondering how much last minute stuff Chris would be doing. It's a busy day for us as well, but in a different way. My husband covers the elections. It's going to be a late late night for him.
Good Luck!

I was up early this morning helping to set-up a triple precinct poll site on the college campus where I work. It was a busy morning, but in spite of it all, I thought of your family and how exciting of a day it is for all of you.
I hope Oregonians in your district realize how fortunate they are to have a candidate like Chris to vote for and do their civic duty -- and especially that Chris is declared the winner!

Good luck Chris! The people in your district are so very lucky to have someone like you who wants to work for them. I wish I lived there so that I could vote for you! All the best today!!!

Go Chris!!! I live in Oregon but up Portland. I will be keeping a close eye on Dist. 14 tonight on the news. Best of luck, Oregon needs a good man like Chris!

so excited for you to see where your lives will be. Lots of prayers and thoughts coming your way!

So excited for you! What a time in your life. Thrilling indeed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Chris today! It's so amanzingly nice of you to share this experience with all of us here...you simply totally rock!

Hi to the Edwards family:)
I've been thinking of you and your family all morning, Ali. I saw signs for our local election on the way to bringing Lowell to his Autism Day treatment program and was actually moved to tears thinking about how this has got to be one of the biggest days of your life. I am so rooting for Chris from all the way over here in Minnesota!!!!! Have a wonderful day. Hope you can enjoy every moment. xoxo
