Change

They're shouting it all over the news today. The results of yesterday's Iowa caucus are a mandate for change. I think the need for change goes without saying. That's why the 22nd amendment limits the Pres. to two 4yr. terms. We need change in political leadership. We were crying for change at the end of Clintion's terms, too. (At least I was.)

So we got change. Now we are in a war that most of us are tired of. That war has had an effect on the economy. So we cry for change, again. It's a good thing. Too bad we don't limit the number of terms Senators and Representatives can serve.

But this particular election, for me, is not so much about who gets elected as it is about who doesn't. I could support Romney; I think I could support Huckabee; I could support Obama or Edwards. (I hope my father isn't hearing me say I could support a Democrat.) We need leaders who can get things done. But we also need leaders with moral fiber. I still think that is something of great importance.

We have many diverse opinions in this family. I don't know how my Dad would feel about that--he'd probably understand--but I think it's great. That means we're all thinking about and caring about it. And after all, it has nothing to do with how much we love and respect each other.
