Political ranting
OK, I don't want to get too political on the family blog, but is anyone else really sick of this election season yet? Does anyone else find it ironic that Obama spent months tearing into McCain as a “Washington insider,” then turns around and selects someone with just as much time in Washington as his VP? Or how about McCain criticizing Obama as too inexperienced to be president, then selecting someone with even less federal experience as his VP? Having come from Utah, which is NEVER a battleground state, I thought it would be exciting to live in a battleground state like Virginia is this year. Well, I have learned that it is more annoying than anything else. I hear at least 10 political adds on the radio daily, there are at least 2 political adds during every commercial break on TV, and we get at least 2 political campaign phone calls a day (live and recorded). We have also been personally visited at our house by Obama campaigners several times. What have they achieved with all of this campaigning? Well, a sign I saw says it best: "They both stink '08."

We feel the same way! We thought it might be interesting too to live in NM and see what it is like in a state that isn't so "red." But it's been awful! The nasty ads are frequent and horrible. Since we are technically still Utah residents, we did absentee voting and I can tell you nothing made me more happy to vote and be done with it. And I agree, They BOTH Stink. Never been more inclined to NOT vote because I don't want either of them...
Ann, this is Missy Buttars!! I'm so excited that I just found your blog! Your family is adorable! Its been way to long sense I've seen pictures of your girls!! Anyways I just wanted to send you my love!!!
We get the doorstep visitors every Saturday afternoon. We got so we just don't answer the door anymore. I have also gotten hand written letters from members of the community telling me why they have chosen a certain candidate and why I should as well. I can't wait till next Wednesday when it's all said and done with!
Since we moved to Ohio I was also glad to be in a swing state. I dont know why I thought that my one vote would swing the state- that was just wishful thinking. however, I was especially happy about voting on the state and city issues, where I feel it mattered a little more.
