Is anybody there?

Hello out there! Is anyone reading this? Do I have to say something truly outrageous to get comments?

Today I packed my Lancaster County for Obama buttons (horse and buggy version) for the convention in Denver, but it also occurred to me that I could probably sell a bunch of Hillary buttons as well. After all there are going to be at least two big celebrations - one when her name is put into the history books and one when the convention nominates Obama.

Anyone who wants to see what I am talking about (the buttons), go to www.lancasterdems.com .

One day closer to Denver

I'm on a porch in Mt. Gretna (old fashioned resort in Central PA) relaxing for one more day before getting ready for the two day train trip to Denver. These days I get at least a dozen emails a day from the Hillary camps [there are many]; even Rendell appears to be looking forward to casting a vote for her at the convention. Somehow this makes the trip more exciting. Even if she isn't the nominee, this is historic, or should it be hirstoric? a celebration is what has been missing. There is no need to "get over it" rather we should celebrate her candidacy before moving on and we didn't get that chance yet. We will. That's what was wrong all along - we never got to celebrate the fact that a woman got so many votes for President! We have a long way to go, but Hillary pushed us far forward, much farther than we've ever been before.
