Super-sick Tuesday.
Today, in our quarantined little house (Simon has definitely joined Chris with the flu - I am still hanging on to health), we are definitely paying attention to what is going on around the country. Lots of checking things out online and switching back and forth between CNN and Fox News (gotta have a bit of both sides).
It is tremendously exciting to see so many people involved in the process. So many people voting rather than staying home; being a part of the entire process. Regardless of who you are supporting it is so cool to see so many people engaged rather than apathetic.
Some of you may remember that we had the opportunity to meet Barack Obama back in September. I continue to be inspired by him and am definitely supporting him (even though our primary is not until May 20th: grumble) and cheering him on today.
Many of you may have already seen this "yes we can" video. It's the words and the sentiment and the passion that I love. If you want to see the actual words from the speech go here (click the "about this video" tab).
If you have the opportunity in your state today, go vote.
Yes Ma'am. (I am in CA and so today is super tuesday for me) So I will be going to vote at lunch time :)

I'm so excited to be able to vote on Super Tuesday here in Illinois. I grew up in Wisconsin, and I remember our primaries always taking place late in the process. Usually, the candidate I wanted to vote for had already dropped out.

It's definatly a super day. I'm excited to see the actual numbers come in tonight.
In MI Hilary was really the only democrat on the ballot so I voted for the Repulician I would be most likely to vote for in case the deomcrat was a total nightmare.

Does anyone know Obama's faith?

to answer the previous post, all of obama's bio can be found on his website including the name of his place of worship: http://www.barackobama.com/learn/meet_barack.php
does it really matter what his faith is?

hi ali,
if you have to be stuck at home w/a sick kid (and husband), at least it's an exciting day for news. i, like you, am watching the news and just hoping that it's truly a super tuesday for obama. you can almost feel the energy in the air and his message of hope sweeping across our great country. thanks for passing that video along to people...the more people who hear it the better. i only wish more people had the opportunity to hear him in person.
stay healthy!
