Well, I am finally going to get to go to an Obama event! Tomorrow night, Saturday November 1st, Sen. Obama will be visiting my home town of Springfield, Missouri!! I'm sure it is to get out the vote in the 3rd largest city in this "Swing State"! I don't remember in my life time when Missouri has been this important in the Presidential Election?? It feels good to be talked about like states such as New York, Florida, California, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania! The rally is open, and free, to the public. Unlike the Palin rally a few weeks ago where they started out saleing tickets, then after I'm sure people complained, they made it a free event. If you had bought a ticket, you got into a "special" seating area. Rallies should be free to the people, and Sen. Obama's campaign has the right idea in this area.
As the election gets closer, I am getting even more excited about it! I see nothing but attack adds from the McCain campaign, and only policy & issue adds from the Obama campaign. Sen. McCain was the one that said he was hesitant to use attack adds, but you can clearly see who has gone negative in the Springfield area! Hardly a single attack add has come here from the Obama camp, it's a breath of fresh air. He really seems to want to help bring this country together as one entity. I hope that this is exactly what happens.
Now I know that it's a bad idea to count all your chickens before they're hatched, which I'm not doing. I know that there could still be things that happen over the next 4 days. Campaigns under the right conditions can come apart in a single day. But it just feels like this is going to happen. My John Kennedy is finally going to win!! I just hope that he doesn't befall the same tragic end that President Kennedy did. There a re many crazy people out there, and many roots of prejudice are still running deep in our country. If any body wants to try to take our next President away from us, I hope that they get whats coming to them from the U.S. Secret Service!!
So, I will right a complete post about my experience from the rally either tomorrow night, or on Sunday morning/afternoon. If you know me in real life, then you know that it's very likely to be in the afternoon on Sunday, instead of Sunday morning!! LOL!! I never have been a morning person, and I doubt that I ever will be!
NASA Update!!
I know that I have gotten lax in my NASA posts. I'm kinda busy with a lot of stuff at work, and trying to get things straightened out in my life. I'm working on some ideas for some future posts, including a 3-4 part series on amusement parks of the past, and now!! Park that will be included are: Dog Patch U.S.A., Disney World, and Silver Dollar City!! A possible 4th part may involve a trip to Six Flags, which is an amusement park I've always wanted to go to, but never have! I hope to have the first part, about Dog Patch, posted by the middle of November, Disney World around Christmas, and Silver Dollar City in January or February. If I do the Six Flags post, it will Probably around April, or May. I hope you enjoy!!
