OK, folks, it's one week until the election. Change is in the air: Even on my neighborhood walk route, Obama yard signs outnumber McCain signs 14-to-1. No, that's not scientific, but this is Mississippi, and that could be different. The main thing now is to not get complacent. Every person must vote and do everything in your power to get friends and family out to vote. Unlike, say, the leaders of the Republican Party, I have long believed that the more people vote, the more the people's will is done. So please, please do everything in your power this week to get involved. Vote, drive people to the polls, volunteer, educate yourself and others on how to prevent voter intimidation—anything you can do to bring change to this great nation next week. This election is not over, and it's up to you to bring it on home. And to get at least five people to the polls. ;-)

Surely it ain't over yet. That lady hadn't sang the song yet, and only the Lord knows what Palin and McCain might be tempted to do the next seven days. Barack needs to get lots of rest and relaxation so his mind is free and percolating because Revern Wright is coming back, and the repubs are going to tie him solidly with Osama, Hitler, Lenin, Ayers, Grant, Lincoln, the taliban and that 13 year old girl from NBC who helps catch all the sexual predators.
