Phew. That is all I can say.
Sure, some of the propositions went in disappointing ways.
But Obama, landslide, hope, all of that.
Phew, phew, phew.
I can now go into labor, knowing our child will be born into a world of hope. (Or I can at least go to sleep more peacefully tonight…)

I stole the blurbs below from the Tucson Weekly’s endorsements, which on the whole I agree with anyway. If anyone has compelling arguments against one or more of their endorsements, feel free to share here in the comments. So besides voting for Obama/Biden, TucsonMama encourages you to vote YES on Prop 403, to improve our [...]

MomsRising has made a bingo game to go along with the debate tomorrow night. Could be good fun. Me, I’d prefer to make a drinking game out of that, but probably not that appropriate at 33 weeks pregnant…Someone do it for me, will you? I’ll help you with the rules.
And apologies for general lameness in [...]

This is the best response I can imagine to McCain’s suggestion to delay Friday’s debate:

Well, we don’t have our own coalition, but here’s a great family-friendly event to support the Obama campaign. Next Saturday, 9/27, from 3-7pm–perfect post-nap/pre-bed event for the toddlers (that’s what I’m always looking for, anyway).
If you have any questions about the event or local Obama campaign or want to volunteer this Saturday 9/20, doing a [...]

One scares me more than I can describe. Jon Stewart, oh how we love him, does a great job here.
The other Sarah turns me into a gushy smitten teenager. I have the hugest crush on her. Excellent editorial in last week’s NY Times…

Totally loved Michelle Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s speeches at the DNC.
I still get all emotional about Clinton’s campaign. I was so conflicted about who to vote for in the primaries. I remember being on the phone with Erika O while I was in line at the polls and we were going back and forth about [...]
