Now, more so than any time in my life, I fully understand the phrase Victory is sweet.

On to the General Election we go…

To Sandi: I think the lines of distinction are getting a little blurry; are you extolling the virtues of Barack Obama or preaching about the Second Coming?

I agree with you in that we need some drastic changes, but I doubt that any of the three candidates could manage to pull it off single-handedly, as you seem to suggest that Senator Obama can.

There really has been no one worth voting for since the current campaign began, and to date, none of them has done anything to convince me to cast my ballot their way.

Yes, I did vote in the primary. Again, however, each of the remaining candidates have some good points, but as far as I’m concerned, it is once again a matter of voting either for the lesser of evils or voting against a particular candidate. Just my opinion, mind you…

Obama is 100% correct! People today are fed up with the lies, the war, and the loopholes for big business,…. We have had enough! We need change and he is the only one to change the system. Enough of torture, secret prisons, wiretapping, saber rattling and no due process. We need a young, brilliant, articulate president to lead us out of the recession, the war, and the poisoned policies of the Bush years. We need Barack Obama to renew America’s values. We need Barack Obama to lead this wonderful nation as President of the United States of America.

West Virginians let’s unite this party and end 8 years of a President who has authorized a war that we shouldn’t have waged. I hope all of you get to read Sen. Obama’s speech today about veterans if you weren’t able to go.

YES WE CAN!

To #29 Rich Ireland comment…
“…leftist politician, nothing more, nothing less.)
Well, that’s a label!!!
Guess there’s a Wine-label connection, eh?
Speaking of wine labels, my daughter found a wine label for Mike Ditka of all things…
Some pretty funny varieties too. But they do TASTE good!
But just as wine has labels, isn’t it best to taste it?
Please go to Obama’08 and check out the plans, policies, and comments and the blog.
He is so much more than a label.
This old republican white woman would not be supporting his candidacy if he were “just” as you said, believe me!

Go for it, Rich. No beer (yet), but they do have hot sauce.

Democrats unite and begin the much needed debate with Senator McCain..

“The United States needs a clean break from eight catastrophic years of George W. Bush. And so far, Senator John McCain is shaping up as Bush the Sequel — neverending war in Iraq, tax cuts for the rich while the middle class struggles, courts packed with right-wing activists intent on undoing decades of progress in civil rights, civil liberties and other vital areas.” NYT, 05/09.

Hey Rich,

Yeah, this is a food blog. Had you left out the part about Obama being “a leftist politician, nothing more, nothing less,” then we would’ve remained on topic.

Still, I truly appreciate your — and Mike’s — consistent patronage of this blog. I raise a glass to you both!

Seems to me that someone else likes to stir the pot, as well…
