Take a Break from the News People
I haven't watched the MSM in almost a week now. It started after Obama's loss in PA (but not because he lost). This new Wright controversy is not needed, but I'm pretty much ignoring it and waiting for the tension to subside. That's what I think some on here need to do. Get away from the computer and MSNBC/CNN for a while. Go to a club or bar, play a video game (I'm getting GTA 4 today....YESSS!!!)...anything. If you an Obama supporter, don't let this new controversy blow your head off. I'll watch the returns for NC and Indiana. I live in Fayetteville and will be voting too...I have no doubt this region goes handily to Obama anyway though.

2. Wright is a non-issue being exploited as if Obama actually controls what his former pastor says

3. I agree with this advice - I took the last several days off and the world didn't end.
Back, getting caught up a bit again. But it's sunny today, so I'm going to get out for a long bike ride.

5. Oh and I forgot to add my MIL is
leaving for the Phillipines (sp?...I always screw it up) on next Wed. She is so hooked to all of the media coverage of the election. She will be gone for an entire month. I think she said she will be back on June 6th or something. Anyway, she is totally freaking out about missing the coverage! She said she is going to get her a phone card so she can find out everything that is going on. LOL In a way I envy her because by the time she comes back the primary season will be over.
