ELECTION DAY!

HOW ARE WE GONNA DO?

i've heard that question every day for the last month.

the conventional wisdom says we lose or go to the house of representatives for the electorial vote to decide the election. everyone (even Sec. of State, Eric Clark at a press conf.) seems to think we are going to the house, so its true or we lose. i don't mind. it means we have every reason to work our ass off or we lose. it means we made this racist jerk, Haley Barbour, with more connections than anyone in the world work himself to the wire. it means this racist had to spend MULTIPLES of what the previous candidates spent (combined) for SIX MONTHS just to get NECK AND NECK with a Mississippi democrat that everyone thought was weak. i'd like to be wrong. i'd like to whip his ass, but i really just want to win.

I'm working all day tomorrow. 16 hours, at least.

i'm doing it because i don't know what else is more important in the next 24 hours.

I believe in the democrats.

I hate racists.

when we win, mississippi wins. if we lose, the state loses its heart. it's replaced by black, tainted oil.

i gave up turning my head from these things. if i play blind, i can hear. if i stuff my ears i know with my heart because it sees what these sorts of people will do to our lives and our world.

god, we have to win.
