Good to see you!
Read the FW Article..liked the good humor there! After such a long and often arduous difficult primary and election season it is so important to keep a good sense of humor about it all.
I remain ambivelent regarding how Obama will do, but it was a breathtaking and awesome sight to see the joy on people's faces in Grant Park, Chicago last night! No one could watch that and consider the moment historically and not feel moved.
Thanking you for your very kind ed picks on my two Hillary posts during the very long primary season; the hugely responded to 'Hillary and the Math' post and Hillary and the gender issue.. 'Gender Issue Lives On as Hillary Hopes Fades', from Trailhead Fray.. ..we had some wonderful civil discussions in those threads and it was a joy to see the amount of replies and uprates for both of them. No credit to me, as it was and is because Hillary Clinton herself is such a lightening rod of interest to posters that those two posts attracted a massive number of responses.
Slate provides such a great outlet for those of us who enjoy posting on political topics and issues. thanks so much for that.
Now that this election is finally over..here is hoping for the best and praying Obama will be good for The Nation and the world at large.
Slate did lean a bit towards Obama,but as compared to Kos, Huff Post, Salon, or a host of any other slightly left of center online magaizine, Slate is and remains one of the more fair and balnced online magazines, imho..as well as being the most enjoyable to post on as it is well formatted for posting,
Thx, for stopping in here to BOTF!
