I should have gone to bed, but I made a movie instead. Wanna see?
I haven't made a movie in awhile, but this idea just hit me today and I couldn't let go until it was finished. All of the photos were "borrowed" from the official Kerry Web site.

All you need is a Quicktime player. You can stream it from the site or save it to your drive.

Feel free to pass the link to family and friends. I tried to convey a sense of hope and optimism that will propel us through the GOTV efforts. Perhaps I'll tinker with the ending after Tuesday. ;-)

I spent a lot of time on this, so I would appreciate a kick or two to keep it from falling off the page too quickly.

24. Whoops, one other thing......
Send a copy to the DNC. I am certain they will find a use for it. Now or in the future.

9. Same here
I swear I've gained five pounds in the past two weeks from nervous eating.

Please pass the link on to anyone you think would be interested. I've had nearly 20,000 combined page views on my other little movies through word of mouth.

12. Believe it or not
It's Diana Ross from "The Wiz" soundtrack. The title is "A Brand New Day."

I don't know why, but it just popped in my head today. It's not like I even had it in my music library or have heard it in years. I get these weird flashes of inspiration sometimes.

While we celebrate Tuesday night, freepers can "play" with their Ann Coulter dolls.
