Also not to mention she dissed community leaders. Community leaders are the one that get things done in this country , civil rights for example . People that are in crisis right now due to the al time high of foreclosures are being helped by community leaders. I did NOT say I hated her speech, it just addressed no issues. let me also add that while we could not be more polar opposites , I do admire the fact she got where she is today. I give her that . The fact that she is the mother of 5 kids earns her respect. I also do happen to like Cindy Mccain a lot and respect the fact that she does tons of philantrophic work. I respect Mccain also and do not believe in bashing the amount of time he spent serving our country. Just because I do not agree with them on issues does not mean I dislike them.

The election is almost over. Can you believe it?

I am concerned no matter who wins there will be violence and acts of hatred by people whose choice did'nt win.

I am scared about the state of the nation and I don't think either of them are going to get things right any time soon

I must say I will be thrilled to be done with political ads, political calls, political flyers, lawn sign etc.

Eric was able to "early vote" yesterday at his college! His first time! He was very excited! I "early voted" two weeks ago at the local Jewel/Osco. It was great - no long lines like where we usually vote! Rob - Mr. Conservative - will not vote until election day! He says it is just not right!!

I want this all over with, but I worry too, no matter who gets elected.

I agree with Rob, no early voting! I want to go with my son and vote on the day because he is so excited about his first election. I have mixed feelings about it being over. I volunteered and have had a great time and met all kinds of great people. I am excited to be involved again. I don't think there will be any violence. And I do feel positive , I think things will be better. Most people I have been able to talk with are very excited and optimistic that things will turn around. I have to believe that.

Early voting was quick and easy!! Last time Rob and I went to vote together in the evening after he got home - we waited outside in the cold and wind over an hour due to the long lines. Never again! Not my thing. As long as I vote is all that matters. I got to do it on a gorgeous sunny afternoon with no lines. Works for me!


Eric got to vote at his college with his friends. No long lines. He was very excited and came home to tell me all about it. On Tuesdays he has classes until 3:00 and works from 4:30 until 9:30. So it worked out perfect for him. No rushing, no worrying about being late for work or class. I think it is an awesome idea! It gives more people more opportunities to get the vote out.

Oh no it is great idea. Did you see that piece on CNN about voting in Vegas? they have voting machines everywhere , the mall, grocery store. Wouldn't that be great? unfortunately in Atlanta some of the early voting lines have been as long as 8 hours!!! Here in my very small town it has been 4 hours. I'm prepared to stand in line for a while Tue.

OMG! You are kidding! 8 hours in line???? I couldn't wait that long for Clay, DC, JD and Jesus together!!

OKAY! I am dying to know what everyone thinks about that woman that just had octupulets!!?? I think she is CRAZY . I mean for God's sake she alreasy had six. I think the Doctor's that gave her IVF should be fully investigated. I know how much ONE kid cost much less 14. It think it is sickening.

I think she is crazy AND looking for fame! She wants a show on parenting!! What does she know about parenting?? She hasn't begun to know how to deal with raising 14 VERY small children!!

I watched Dr. Nancy Schneiderman talk about all of the problems (physical and mental - and there WILL be problems) those octuplets will have and she said "it is going to cost tax payers millions over the years to come to care for those problems. Also to educate them. Who can afford college for 14 kids? Well, the Jolie-Pitts maybe!

The woman and the doctor have problems! When she came to that doc for fertility help when she already had SIX very young children he should have shown her the door and the directions to counseling.

From what I understand, she didn't tell him about the other children. Also, apparently having already had multiple children isn't a deal-breaker in terms of getting fertility treatments.

I think the whole thing is nuts too.

Well, I can completely understand that having children already is not a deal breaker for getting fertility help - though for the life of me I don't understand needing help when you already have six kids!! But I think when someone already has 6 under 7 years old SOMEBODY ought to tell her to at least consider waiting for the little ones to get a little older before adding to the brood! As it is, it is difficult to give all that you can to 6 under 7 years old - how do you begin to take the proper care and love of those existing children when you add multiple newborns to the mix??

I don't care if it is a deal breaker or not , there should be some kind of psychology test involved. Plus I don't believe she should have been allowed to have 8. I know we have freedom of choice in this country but please not when the taxpayer ends up paying for it. I heard on CNN the doctors are under investigation. They should be that is totally iressponsible. I supoose her other option is reality show to help pay for those kids. GRRRRR!

I thought I had read the same doctor that did the IVF the other times did this one as well? Totally wrong........and what was the cost????? How could she afford this?

One of her sons is autistic too.
