Maybe you're getting my misdirected phone calls? I no longer have a landline, but back in '06 when I lived in Michigan, I often received pre-recorded calls from Rush Limbaugh urging me to support DeVos. I've been a registered Democtrat since 1997. I would have thought it was just a case of a misdirected number, but I received mail addressed to me from the Republican party too.

Ksig, sorry if I offended you? I thought it was funny and would chill things out since this year's Pres. election is a really heated topic.
Apparently I was wrong

I think McCain just found a page of one-liners he'd forgotten to toss out there...
ETA: LOL, the Ohio undecideds were completely flatlined while McCain talked about the $5K he'll give them for health care

That is because Ohio undecideds think McCain has flatlined!

I had no idea about this poll, but I just cast my vote. This election has been heavily discussed in my workplace. I'm sure that the candidate getting my vote is capable of handling the job as president, but I don't agree with them 100%.
This debate isn't as much a yawner as the previous two. I am enjoying the clarifications and the handful of zingers from both candidates.
I love Obama for saying parents have to step up in terms of educating the children.

I REALLLLLLLLLLY don't appreciate Michelle Rhee getting national attention -- she is NOT a good school chancellor.

I don't know, but that part of the dabate had my wife fuming. She really doesn't appreciate the suggestion that she should like/support Palin because she knows what it's like to be the mom of a special needs child.

This was an interesting read about how the "gray vote" is no longer automatically "red" (it profiles some retirees in FL): http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27190283/
I particularly enjoyed the part about Jerry Decker's wife giving him $25 spending money each Friday for the week as part of their 'saving for retirement' plan in their younger days -- and she still does it! I'll be reviewing that idea with the husband this evening... (the day my husband can walk into Home Depot and leave spending less than $13...  )

Yeah, I expect this trend to continue as the baby boomers age.
While some of them went kind of Reagan yuppie, I think a big enough block still holds a 1960's political radical self image. (not that they are really radical, but they aren't going to lean Republican necessarily just because they got old.)
