In these final days it is great to see the effort and the conviction of everyone increasing in intensity and pulling out all the stops. Put on that bumper sticker, get that lawn sign out there, volunteer, wear a t-shirt, speak up at work or school or to your neighbors. There is so much people still do not know and we are the ones who must tell them. We are the witnesses to this crime.

I live in VA and they called me on my ceel phone, and knew my name, (had to be from the work I did for Hillary), anyway, I take it they thought I was going to support obama...but I told them in no uncertain terms just what I thought of their guy. That being said, I think Loudoun could go half and half, Fairfax will probably go Obama, Prince William will go McCain, and the majority of the state from there down should favor McCain. Virginia is home to Ft Meyers, the Pentagon, Quantico Marine Base and all those Naval Bases in Virginia Beach and Norfolk, there is also some Military in Richmond, as well. The Middle and Western area of the state is likely to go heavily for McCain. he really only has potential trouble in Northern Virginia. True.

If his 'typical white grandmother'(as opposed to his untypical black grandmother--what?)was on her deathbed with hours to go his first response would be "What's in it for me?" And remember he didn't go to his beloved mother's funeral. About BO’s Hawaii trip–this guy doesn’t put one foot in front of the other unless he stands to benefit from it.

They have what a lot of us want to hold on to. Funny, having grown up outside Atlanta, I knew a lot of "rednecks", and some of them were Black. Rednecks, down south, are people who like to BBQ, go mud boggin', go to Church on Sunday's, watch NASCAR, help a neighbor with a problem, sit on the front porch in the evening, go to work and (work hard while they're there), and they still visit their Mama and Daddy on the weekend. They salute the flag, know the words to the National Anthem, the Pledge of Allegiance, and Amazing Grace. They volunteer to fight for their country in higher than average numbers. They look for bargains at Wal Mart, and they would rather do a weekend in Gatlinburg than a week in NYC. You see them every Friday night in the fall at the local High School Football games, and they never miss the local Little League's parade down Main street. There are a lot of Rednecks all over this country, and a lot of Joe the Plumbers and Sarah Palin's, too. Some of them didn't get farther than High School, but they made up for that with Common Sense to spare, these people are not impressed with what the Hollywood A-Listers, or the Liberal Media have to say about anything. These are the people that tune into FOX and put a lot more store in an Endorsement from Sean Hannity than Lindsay Lohan. Our center is still here, it just doesn't get a lot of press. Funny, neither does McCain or Palin. That alone makes them more appealing to the redneck crowd...That and Hank Jr. did write a pretty catchy campaign song for them. Nice imagery. They have what a lot of us want to hold on to.

It is gorgeous with timbered hills high enough to count as mountains (The Allegheny) and small farms tucked away within their folds and valleys. I could see for myself that these people with their neat, well-tended small acreages, were a product of the best America can offer. We took a detour because of a traffic jam, cruising the back roads. Little hamlets and villages were exactly as you would find in any midwestern town; the older homes built to last with expansive lawns are the type you might recognize from a Norman Rockwell graphic. The ones you see depicted on Christmas cards with wreaths and soft lights burning at dusk with a mantle of white snow on the roof. I don't think these people are rednecks or racists; I think they are just individuals with hopes and dreams like everyone else in this country.
