Blind Prophecy

Another exciting day at Casa Diggs.

Jacob found work, leaving me as the only still underemployed member of the household, but I’m still not really worried about it yet. It took me about 6 weeks when I moved to San Francisco, and it’s only been three and a half since I arrived in Cincy.

After hitting the gym pretty hard, all 3 of us (4 if you count the dog) gathered around the television to watch our next President. Yes, there were chills and moments that made us very happy. I’m glad me mentioned gays and lesbians, wish he’d mentioned bisexual and transgender, but progress is progress.

Apparently, McCain is less than 100 miles from me right now – preparing to announce his veep (scary evangelical Tom Pawlenty, most likely) in Dayton at 9am tomorrow. If I had a car, I’d make plans to go protest or something. Get outta my new state. Based on all the polls I’ve looked at, if Obama takes Ohio, he takes the country. Don’t believe me, try it out. Just hit the “Create your own scenario” and watch what happens when you switch Ohio to blue… that’s before you add the votes he’s almost certain to get from DC, Hawaii and Vermont. If you take away Minnesota because of Pawlenty, he still wins with DC, Hawaii, Vermont and Maryland… plus Ohio. I desperately want Ohio to be the state that brings it home for Obama this year.
