A view from the reddest of red states - Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.

28. Your post was exactly what I needed to hear..

I live in a red county in purple Colorado, but two weeks out of every month since Feb. we have been living in southwest Texas caring for my 90 year old bedridden father in law who should die any time. He was a terrible man and father so this is out of a sense of duty, not love. Our time in Nov. is the first two weeks, so I will be there on election night. When we were there in August, 2008 when my mother in law died, I saw McCain bumper stickers and signs everywhere. This year, I'v seen about 3 Rmoney bumper stickers and only a few signs. Even though I know the "good white Christians" will vote GOP, they aren't visible supporting the Mormon. I am dreading election night.. if Rmoney wins this I will be inconsolable. My husband can't wait to celebrate an Obama win, and plans to leave the tv on in his father's room all night.
Of course, down there in the Permian Basin, business is booming. The unemployment rate is around 4% and houses sell in a week. That damn Obama!
