Hey you all, this is so exciting...this is history in the making. This is a time for us to come together as a people and stop waiting around to see the fate of our country - this is our time to rise above it all.
I'm loving this because there are so many lessons here...math lessons, history lessons, journalism lessons, political science, mass communications, and I could go on and on.
My trust is not in the recounting of the votes but in God...remember in God we trust. Nevertheless, a similar incident happened in 1876 during the Rutherford Hayes and Samuel Tilden election. Hayes (19th president) won by one electoral vote. Tilden was the favorite and had the popular vote though. No coincidence, because history DOES repeat itself, Florida was one of the states in question, along with SC and Lousiana. History gurus correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that WAS the closet race in U.S. History.

Again, this is not a time for us to be sitting back nervous, wondering what will happen if..... We need to be planning, strategizing, starting OUR businesses, empowering ourselves economically, educationally, and most of all spirtually.
If Bush does win this election, maybe that will be the push we need to get up off our...you know whats and start making a difference - COLLECTIVELY!
