er…. um… thank you for your thoughts.

So, as we consider the most important presidential debate of this century, one must logically ask if the zealous supporters of Obama are really voting with their intellect on the issues. The issues really are crucial in this most important historical event, such as who can best reverse this economy.

Are the Obama supporters voting for an empty call to action based on deep subconscious levels rooted in low self esteem or even searching for internal peace from an external source? It must be considered by the superdelegates if need be to supercede the hype…

To the Obama voters, my recommendation would be for personal reflection on the emotions and then discover what is pulling you to vote for your next president.

Hope in and of itself is a wonderful principle which keeps the human race on an encouraging evolutionary continuum. BUT, it is just that hope. It stops there. It is in fact a wimpy word which actually implies failure can occur.

Knowing beforehand that making decisions based on anger, hope or basic evolutionary emotions does not lead to well thought, logical decisions.

Voting on a 17 point economical structure for the improvement for a near recession might be a more patriotic, intelligent decision and lead to a turning point for our economic future in America.

You’ll also discover that the more involved you get, the more time ‘they’ will want. Getting actually involved in a political campaign can “eat you up one side & spit you out the other” if you let it.

It’s not at all like blogging. You will become personally acquainted with a lot of other people, be expected to attend meetings, go down to campaign headquarters & help stuff envelopes, etc. You might also be inspired to set up a branch of the campaign in your area.

There’s almost no end to how far you might end up traveling. One thing, for sure, Polimom … you’ll lose your “Independent” status!

Not sure what goldenrod means by “a bunch of hours”.

However, my understanding is that a precinct captain is the “grassroots” one hears about. Talking to people (phone? canvassing? both?) about why one likes the candidate would, I expect, be a large part of things. All in all, though, I’m pretty unsure also.

I have to say, though, that the mere fact that somebody like me (or you?) is considering participating for the first time at this level of the process speaks volumes about the power of his campaign…
