Update and Super Tuesday

First the update. Since I posted last mom has been moved to an ICU, and for a couple of reasons that I won't bore you with took a downturn. There has been some improvement, but we are still about three days from being past the infections. There has been some improvement and we are hoping that she will leave ICU before Sunday, although she will probably be hospitalized for a few days after that. Bottom line, she is slowly improving and your prayers and wishes were heard. Still some concern, but things are getting better.

Super Tuesday. I headed to work as always way before the polls opened, so I will vote on the way home. There is so much that can be said about today, but I don't think that I can contribute anything truly unique so I won't try.

I find is humorous that Hillary did the deperation "wipe a tear" tactic yesterday. I think that she needs to be the dem nominee because we could beat her senseless in November, but I can't bring myself to not get pleasure in Obama making her look like a has-been. it is kind of like my football support. The Auburn/Alabama rivalry is not about sports; it is a way of life here. I always say that I want Alabama to win except when they play us, but if the truth be told I take great pleasure in seeing them lose no matter when or where. Same with Hillary.

I also think that it is not good for the Leader of the free world to be crying on worldwide television. Please tell me which muslim terrorist leader is going to be touched by that. I hear the laughter echoing across the Persian Gulf as we speak.

I don't know at this late date which lever I will pull. I know the polls show McCain as the winner over anyone and everyone in a national election, but Romney better fits my beliefs. Don't get me wrong, there are no candidates that I am 100% behind, and we have discussed that ad nauseum. It is make or break time today, and I am not convinced which lever to pull.

I heard Rudy on FoxNews today and I almost wish I had supported him. He lost the nomination because of a bad strategy. No one knew it was bad and until he lost Florida I thought it was the best one. I never knew that I had an ancestor named Custer.

I want a leader as much or more than I want someone who believes as I do on every issue. So much about the position of "Leader of the free world" has nothing to do with economics, abortion, tax policy, welfare policy, yadda yadda---but it has everything to do with confidence and principle and integrity. We can shape policy by our interaction with the legislature, but we can't make a President change his fortitude over serious issues. Rudy fits that bill, although his social conservative credentials are a bit smudged.

If you are conservative, go vote. If you are a dem, go vote. Our process relies on educated people making educated decisions. Make yours count!
