"What's the big deal? Don't Democrats do exactly the same things? Aren't they just as hypocritical? Aren't they just as guilty as Republicans are?"

Tell people your story and what Barack Obama means to you. These stories are important and they make this movement real. Whether superficial or profound, each of your stories means something. I will start by telling mine.

Like many Republicans, McCain has made it clear that he feels about unions the way an Alaskan aerial hunter does about wolves -- best when dead.

For the better part of four months, besides working overtime in a job that supports our family, my husband has been volunteering locally, making phone calls, maintaining political blogs to get the message out, and keeping up on the latest issues of the presidential race.
