if a hillary supporter jumps fence to mccain/palin - for the shear purpose of the gender card....well then; sad day. stuns me - can't see it; hurts my liberal heart that gender will decide this election. ferraro has her own bitterness; she'll still vote for obama. i am a daughter of a mcgovern "mom" - i LOVE woman are now in this race & ARE going to be factors, as stated - politics & my values decide my vote.

ok - going to finally post after reading every comment. we are ready for a woman President - not just VP....this VP candidate does not share my values; therefore - not going to swing me in the other direction....my liberal values just won't let me go there. that said - i had a LONG , LONG conversation w/my 2 best friends last night. they both share gadget's view in all respects of the political spectrum. they are FLOORED, insulted, and angry in the choice of Palin. i of course giggled, but was intrigued by their comments. i was shocked at their dismay of this alaskan gov, that they now see the obama/biden ticket more appealing. which makes my giggles louder!! she will not get the disenfranchised hillary votes. i think her selection has made this much more interesting; but in the end will be mccains demise. your own individual politics decides who you vote for - not gender/ not race.

must be a prancer - i land on my toes; all the time. must be the reason they're splitting. the bulk of my weight hits the front of the foot while running.

haven't seen a bill since i was married. i'm "TOLD" what i've spent on certain things - but never once in 10yrs have i had to deal with a bill other than lunch w/the girlfriends. hollie - i "use" to be a BIG "PHF" (use the imagination - LOL), but i am a child of the 60's and my mom is still a big hippie. balance - key to all things;-:cursing:

i am the obnoxious friend - who nags my GF's who are over 40 and never had a mamogram to GET ONE. actually i'm beyond obnoxious - go figure:) i remember when i scheduled my first one at 24, and was told i don't need one. i'm like well my mom was just diagnosed, and one of her sisters is stage 2; they're like ..... OK we'll let this go, even tho your not over 40. thankfully my company paid for a screening trailer from Baylor come to our office every Oct & got one - bar none. lyn - bark, preach, & speak loud ... this is a curable disease, and as we are taking care of weight issues; the rest of the bod need attention too!! lulu
