My dad called this morning, to make sure I was okay.
He sounded very serious, and I couldn't imagine why. We had talked just last night, and apart from comparing our weather conditions, all was well. But he called this morning, "to check on you." Why? Because Edwards is dropping out. He knew how important this was to me (though I think he's for Hillary). I have a good dad.

4. I'm very sad. But I'll survive.
I've already voted, so nothing to do now but see how things turn out. And send more money to PDA, so progressives have a voice in this party.

You?

2. Here's to good Dads.
Mine is crushed I know that Edwards has withdrawn. He saw him as the only one who could really beat the Repubs in GE, so to him it means 4 more years of a Republican president. It terrifies him. And me.

7. That's sweet of your dad
I'm pretty bummed about this too. I'm not as crushed as I was in 04, I guess because I saw the writing on the wall. The day after election day 04, I couldn't even get out of bed and started crying spontaneously. That was awful, I never want to feel like that again
