Nice way to end the series. Thanks to Michael for hooking us up. I’m hoping it rings true.

And I’d like to the chime in with thanks to Spencer, for putting this together and allowing others to borrow his soapbox these past few weeks.

Great short snippet of a song. A bit chilling, though, in that the Count of Florida never left his state in 2000. Wouldn’t be the first time MP wrote something that chilled me to the bone…
Here’s hoping Scalia, et al. have no change to second-guess the decisions made this Tuesday!

A thoughtful song for what will likely prove to be an historic week in our country. Thank you Michael…ps…more please.

THIS is the song we needed when we were in that mile-long line at the Obama rally! I kept thinking, “We need a chorus… we need a chorus…” Here it is: “Get in on the landslide.”

This is wonderful!

Wow–loved the song, and I’ve really enjoyed reading all the “Not Spencer” posts. (I’ve even posted a couple to my Facebook page.) Great blog, Spencer! I look forward to hearing your take on things after the election. Gobama!!!!

What a great surprise! Michael, you paint a vivid picture with your words, as usual. Love it. A perfect ribbon to wrap up the Not Spencer series.

I wish I could be optimistic enough to even think “landslide”…but I guess that’s the point – that it can be if we make it so. I’m afraid I’ll be holding my own enthusiasm in check until the results start coming in tomorrow night — though deep in my heart I’m not expecting to be disappointed (again.) Gosh, it scares me just to write that I’m not expecting to be disappointed (like the Curse of Billy Penn…anybody got a tiny Obama statue we can place on a skyscraper beam?)

As Merujo said, thanks Spencer for sharing your soapbox — it was both fun and frightening for me to write for a blog that actually has readers.

Okay, off to post the link!

See you at the polls.

Wow indeed. Inspiration like this might be the final push that we need! Thank you Michael, and thank you Spencer.

Pennsylvania should be interesting to say the least. I can afford to be a bit confident “the landslide” will match my vote here in my home state of NJ, but we’d better do everything we can to get this link distributed amongst all the Pennsylvanians that we know!

Thanks again. It is time. Now let’s go get this done and start this country back on the correct path.

Pretty freakin’ cool! Spencer, thank you for giving the opportunity for several of us to share your soapbox and voice our hopes, fears, worries and optimism, and thank you, Michael, for providing this wonderful pre-election gift.

I’ll be outside the door of my polling place at 7 a.m. tomorrow, and I’m betting there will already be a line. It’ll be *well* worth the wait!

Let’s hear it for hope and change!
