If you've read my "Where I'm From" article, you know I hail from two different places. In all honesty, I spent almost as much time of my young life in my birth state of Ohio, as I spent in West Virginia; the state where I grew up as a coal miner's daughter. (because my grandfather was really my only true father in life)

West Virginia disappointed me when all 18 delegates of the state voted unanimously for Huckabee during their Super Tuesday primary election. It is not that I expected all 18 to vote for my woman Hillary so much, as I am feeling that, for all the wrong reasons West Virginia is no longer the democratic state I once knew. 

On another note, I am getting just sick and tired of the Obama crowd buying into the idealism he offers us. He wants us all to believe that he could do in a term, or even two, all the many things he claims he will do for this fair country. Hogwash!!! I don't know what is in the air of late, but I hope if the scent comes near me, I don't become wide-eyed and sniff the poison; because it must be some super kind of smell for so many to be sucking it into their lungs and brains as they are.

Don't let it enter your brain that my feelings have anything to do with race because that is far from the truth of me. My feelings about Obama have nothing to do with race. Some of you might remember my post about the Jena 6. For me, and possibly other people, the whole aggravation with Barack's campaign is not about race. I simply believe Obama is smooth. I am careful not to buy into smooth. I know smooth all too well.

So PLEASE, Ohio. Don't disappoint me. I know you have the good sense that it takes to make a sound decision for yourselves, and our country.
