I really want Amaya to be involved in the political process so we went to a rally for Barack Obama yesterday at Newport News, VA. She has seen a former President(Bill Clinton) and the future President speak. We got there at 9:30 and had to walk 8 blocks to get to the end of the line. There was over 15,000 people there. The doors opened at 10:30 and we finally got in at 12:00. When we were at the beginning of the line they decided that no strollers were allowed and we couldn't have any drinks or food. I ended up holding her for 2 hours straight. He finally got there at 1:00 and it was amazing! Obama is one of the greatest speakers that I have seen. His main focus was to talk about health care. That is my most important issue this year in the Presidential Election. I am really pumped and I can't wait for November 4th!

You are SO BRAVE to take a little one out to such an event. I was still on the couch like a blithering idiot when my kids were that little.
Hiya! I left a response to your comment, but I'm not sure if you would get it, so here I am again. :-) I am curious for more information re: McCain refusing to shake Obama's hand at the debate. What exactly happened? Thanks!
