If you live in a swing state, you've probably witnessed the two presidential candidates whipping their horses down the home stretch. Here in New Jersey, it's a lazy afternoon stroll in the park. Despite having a republican governor, New Jersey isn't really up for grabs. We haven't voted republican for president since Ronald Reagan won 49 states. It's also an expensive state to campaign in, given it straddles the New York and Philadelphia markets. But still, it is a presidential election and aside from the news coverage and a few robo-calls, you'd hardly know there was a campaign going on. I don't even see yard signs. That feels very different from four years ago when there was real enthusiasm.

It would appear that Canada, all of Europe, Mexico and sub Saharan Africa have either fallen off the earth or become new states.

Some things untouched.

Go Vote Already!

Donna and I were watching the Republican National Convention last week and we noticed they were playing "I Want You To Want Me" on the convention floor between speeches.  Donna was clever to point out that the song was by Cheap Trick. Ha!
The Democratic National Convention starts tonight. Can Obama secure a victory minus the enthusiasm of 08?
Time will tell, in the meantime, what song will best define this election for Obama? Will it be-
BB King's  -The Thrill is Gone
or
Billie Holiday's - Come Rain or Come Shine
or
Jackson 5's - Give Me One More Chance
or
Louis Armstrong's - When The Saints Go Marching In
0r
Bob Dylan's - Paths of Victory

some other?
