Just called my daughter...
Who is in her freshman year at college and doing very well so far, thank you. She said, "Dad, wait til I tell you the name of the book I just bought..."

72 Things Younger Than John McCain

Some of them are pretty suprising... Like Social Security.

I feel like a good Dem Dad tonight!

2. Hello there, friend! If you don't know, can you ask your daughter
how the freshmen are approaching this election, or are they?

And I love that she has that book!

6. Will do.
She does tell me there are Obama t-shirts and bumper stickers everywhere. She also got together with some friends and watched Michelle's speech on-line. We're in Ca, but I'd love to know what it's like elsewhere across America.

Good to see ya 'sister!

4. Haw! Sounds like a good book!
I'll have to go check it out.

Reminds me of that "Simpsons" joke where you find out Mr.Burns social security number is "2".

5. You ARE a good Dem Dad!
You told another story about your daughter which, although I don't remember the specifics, was another testimony to your being a great DD. And she sounds pretty wonderful, too!

7. Hey gateley!
Good to see a Joe fan any day of the week! Yeah, she's pretty terrific, but I give her mom most of the credit.

8. Is she registered on campus yet? If not, is she coming home to vote or has she requested...
...and absentee ballot yet?

And BTW, cute story. Sounds like you raised a good one!

16. She's registered on campus.
One of the first things she did was change her address on her voters registration. She's very excited to be casting a ballot for the first time in such a historic election.
