1. This is another reason why, as disappointed as I was about the

end of the Democratic Primary, I never ONCE considered voting for the repuke.........who was the repuke candidate, anyway?

Anyway, I got on the Obama bus after the Democratic Convention and I haven't looked back since.

2. I hope the president's replacement will be younger than Alito & Roberts. (nt)

3. I look forward to his nominee,

but totally hate the fight that's going to bring about. It will be worse than last time.
