Closer to a candidate

Last evening, was a very exciting evening watching the election returns. For many weeks, some of us have been on "pins and needles" waiting to see how the media focus on Rev. Wright's comments would affect the outcome of the upcoming primaries. 

Well, it appears we may now be closer to identifying ONE candidate to rally around so that we can work to defeat the Republicans. I am happy to see that the mud slinging and the attacking among Democrats will end. There is too much at stake. 

Every day we hear of families losing their homes, losing their jobs, their health insurance and bearly able to feed their families. The price of bread, milk and gas continue to rise. Seniors are choosing between their medication and food.

More students are being squeezed into over crowded classrooms in elementary school as well as in state colleges and universities. The federal deficit is climbing with billions, yes billions of dollars going to overseas.

What we want is for some relief. Some leader who can respond to the needs of those of us who are the "bread and butter" of this country. I think that leader has been identified.
