    @organicas

    Thanks for bringing this video of the Anti-Palin rally in Alaska to our attention. Just watched it. So inspiring, thank you women of Alaska - you rock! (Or, should I say you Barack!)

    I am so bi-polar this election year - bouncing between hope and despair. But both end up getting me up and out the door campaigning. Whatever it takes. And by the time I get to phone banks and canvas locations I have come back around to hope. The only way to talk to people is with hope, enthusiasm and passion. So, I am going to try to keep focussing on the hope.
