I also cast my ballot and yes change begin with each one of us How,the first step to change is voting. that is how i helped make achange as did you,even though we have had our different opinions and voted for different people I still hope only good for you. God bless you NICOLE R>

I have cast my vote and I am very proud of my decision. I know I voted for the right man who has the best interest of ALL AMERICANS. A man that keeps him self open to the public eye. A man who doesn't control what should be known for the best interest of himself. I will only pray the rest will vote for the right reasons. I keep hearing how alot are voting for one man who promises change. Well I believe the change begins with each American not one man. Change is good but one man cannot provide this it takes each American to change within themselves. We have failed to realize that change doesn't come from the president nor the congress nor any part of the government. Change begins with you!!! We will not be able to survive off false hopes. May God bless all of us.

I just thought I'd tell all of you to have a happy voting day tomorrow! Also, pray for who you're choosing. Choose the one that represents your values, morals, beliefs, etc., as this country seems to have many different views on many different issues. Don't get blind-sided, as I will agree that I did for a little while on ridiculous things, in this. Realize what's important to you and your family and exercise your right tomorrow based upon that - not all of the junk that's been spread all over the place! I for one, am choosing to support McCain and Palin based upon my Christianity beliefs based upon the Holy Bible, being Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, his military experience as a relfection of his age, he is a seasoned politician, and has served our country for a long time already. Between the 2 ( Obama and McCain ), we have chosen McCain and Palin based upon where they stand on these issues, along with other personal feelings on some issues. Here's a web site to go watch the video clip if you're like me and Pro-Life: http://americaschoicenow.com/ .......On another note, a lot of you do disagree with those of us supporting McCain and Palin and want to support Obama. That's your choice, as it is our choice to support McCain and Palin. But, most of all, I'm mostly thankful to live in a country where we can exercise our right to vote on who we choose to support! What an awesome privelege we all get tomorrow! Let's all remember that when we cast our vote for whoever we're choosing tomorrow! God bless all of you and your families....GOD BLESS AMERICA ALWAYS!

I would have voted for Mccain but i cannot because of Sara Palin.

I have worked all my life. Since I was 12 detassling corn, canning factories and earned a College degree. I am now retired. I have never, ever earned close to $250,000 a year. My last year of working full time, 2006, I earned $46,000.
My daughter is making more money a year than I could have ever dreamed of but she is better educated. But she still doesn't make close to $250,000 a year. So by both political standards We're poor, really poor.

Palin lost this one for McCain. Really. I thought it was funny when she talked to Katie Couric - but go on YouTube and listen to her talk to the Canadian she thinks is the French Prime Minister. She is really, really sad. When McCain picked her - he signed his own political death warrant. This woman could have been one heartbeat away from the Presidency - that is just too scary - Might as well blow up the nukes ourselves.

Suppose you are a hiring manager and have four young candidates to choose from
to work in your business. The job involves managing a diverse group of people,
having a basic knowledge of economics, politics, foreign relations, education,
law, and government. You need someone who is a team-player, is decisive, and
has a "get the job done" attitude.

Do I want the two most powerful people on earth to have barely survived their
pathetic college experiences (one of whom only even gained entrance because of
what his daddy and grandpa did) while gaining no usable educational value?
Do I want the two most powerful people on earth to have extremely advanced
degrees, which they earned themselves despite coming from poor beginnings, and
one of them having even spent 12 years as an actual college professor?

The McCain nailed their own coffin when they chose Palin for VP. Period. Too bad, I kinda like McCain, not as a president, but, as a man.

If you actually pay attention to the big picture, incomes for"middle class" people has not kept pace with inflation. What I know is this: Reagan started the whole trickle down economics theory which basically said give tax cuts to the wealthy, cut taxes on corporations, and these entities would use those cuts to invest in creating jobs. Well, I think we have seen what happened: THEY KEPT THE MONEY FOR THEMSELVES. These are entities that keep skirting tax laws by making bogus corporations on some island and putting the difference in their pockets. Universities and all higher education should be affordable for all, not the few who lucked out by being born with a silver spoon. I can't go to college realistically. I'd have to work so many hours at various jobs that my studying would suffer. And, no, fast food jobs don't want people who are not illegal. A citizen would expect to be able to live comfortably on their paychecks, or would want a union to back them up. And as for McCain, this is a guy who can't follow orders. His mission was to fly into enemy territory, and if he was found out, to return to base. Instead, as a missile came up on him, he let the missle hit his plane. He was in the Hanoi Hilton for 5 and a half years because he wanted to be a hero. I for one believe that since his bone headed move got him into that mess, that makes him a very narrow minded individual. He is no hero to me, he is a P.O.W., nothing more. Yes, he deserves respect for surviving. And making it back to the U.S. But that does not mean he is more qualified than anybody else to run for President. I don't want a guy who decided to leave his first wife after she waited for him the entire time he was a P.O.W. He saw Cindy across the room at some meeting and started dating her. So, he's a cheater, and not so loyal after all. Keep in mind Cindy McCain is worth upwards of 100,000,000 dollars, together they has several homes, and when asked how many he owned he couldn't answer. You relate to this guy? HE DIDN'T WORK FOR THOSE HOMES. HE DID NOT MAKE THAT FORTUNE. HE MARRIED INTO THAT FORTUNE. Yeah, he really knows how I live everyday. And as for Sarah Palin, she BROKE THE LAW. SHE USED HER INFLUENCE TO FIRE AN OFFICIAL because he wouldn't fire the trooper that was getting a divorce from her sister. Her husband tried to influence people to do things just because his wife is the Governor.This woman is an embarrassment to the Republican Party because of her beliefs. She believes in freedom of Christianity, not freedom of religion. She wanted to ban books in the city public library. She left Wasilla millions in debt. You want this woman involved with the Federal Level? You want one religions principles to be given preference over all others? You would want women to have to resort to unlicensed doctors to have an abortion? You want the Constituition to reflect discrimination? You want gays to have to hide because the Constituition would eventually legalize one form of marriage? Bigotry has no excuse, and no form of it should even be entertained as a serious discussion. Women are not second class citizens. They have their own minds, and they are more than able to make a decision about their own bodies. You(anybody thinking they can be God) have no right to interfere with anybody's private life, and do not have the right to push an agenda using religious principles to harrass, discriminate, destroy, maim, and kill, all because some people seem to think seperation of Church and State is an inconvenience to be ignored. Keep your santimonious attitudes out of my life and keep your ignorant, small minded, innuendo laced half-truths to yourselves. I am so sick of hearing about how small town people are somehow more American than somebody living in a bigger city. I came from a small town, and I experienced harrassment because I never had any money, did not play sports, or otherwise participate with "the right people". If being American means that I fit with a certain stereotype, call education "elite", post comments in a forum without checking my spelling, think learning about other cultures is somehow unpatriotic, community organizing is something someone does behind a desk all day, never get a passport until it's convenient politically, think because I can "see Russia from an island" I have foreign policy experience, if all my experience in the military consisted of being in a prisoner camp, no leadership position to speak of, and think The Bill of Rights is nothing more than a piece of paper, THEN I AM NOT AN AMERICAN, AND I AM UNPATRIOTIC. I believe that everybody has the right to free speech, unemcumbered by censorship. I believe torture is wrong, I believe the media should question all candidates about their positions, and not be subject to harrassment by the police. I believe that we have the right to assemble, peaceably, without "permits". I believe in the right to own a firearm to protect ones home and life. I believe that people captured in wartime are entitled to the same universal rights we would expect if we were captured by the enemy. We have the patriotic duty to question our public servants, because they work for us. We have a right to healthcare, a right to live under a roof. Doctors have no right to refuse to treat someone because they have no money or insurance. No one should have to go bankrupt because a lender could make more commision with an ajustable rate mortgage. The government should have reined in the out of control consumerism that has been propagated by corporations. WE have a right to clean water, clean air, and food without chemicals. I have the right to question any religion that fosters division, hatred, and injustice. WE have the responsibility, that when government turns corrupt, to change that government. When government does not work for the people, by the people, and makes secrecy of functions a way of leading, then the tree of liberty must be fertilized with the blood of Patriots, and replanted. Until that happens, I will vote for the people that don't confuse patritism with the taking away of my civil rights. Confuse security with spying on our everyday habits. If you want to vote for a man who never goes into what he would actually do for your average person, by all means vote for McCain. If you want ignorance and endless occupation, endless spying, and a massive police state, vote McCain. If you want the media to be just like Fox "news", vote McCain. If you want a V.P. who still believes she needs protected from witches, vote McCain/Palin. By all means, vote for a ticket that spent more on some clothes to make the V.P. pick look good, choose the Republican Ticket. Don't be surprized when our country goes down the toilet because everybody gave into their fears, and gave up on hope.

Levetta - Any new developments on the puppy search?
