    Hilary was very gracious in her recent speech in which she asked all Democrats to unite behind Obama. I must admit that even though I'm not American I was rooting for Hilary.

      Good words to hear!

      I wear my Hillary baseball cap
      when I go out to water my
      patio garden, and glance fondly
      at the Hillary signs sitting
      in the garage. History making
      either way, we have an excellent
      team nominated---on their way
      to bringing respect of the world
      back to the USA.


      Thank you for the visit, Arafura.

    Will try a MC comment:

    Weaving in and out
    social activism
    personal traits

    pictures express...
    devotion to cause,
    to change
    to plastering the cracks
    left behind.

    Ok, that is why you are you and I am me...I do the long convoluted comments much better.

    I already said Happy BD to PK on Mariza's poem, but I like using those initials.

          And at the top of the page,
          the PK Express is multiplying,
          ready to head out on the road,
          in all directions!!!

      You are so welcome, PK.

      I kept seeing in my mind
      the railway tracks, with
      the illusion of the names.
      But I needed a wider express path,
      so I had to discard the track idea
      to give more space to the names.

      Ah, Leadership---a word turned
      almost extinct in the last eight years.

      "...power by example...
      not example by power..."

      From memory, as spoken by Bill tonight.

      So glad to be on the same side in

      "the race to the future" (Hillary, 8/26/08)

      And a "surprise" appearance by the candidate,
      just for your birthday, PK!!!!

    Ah, Yes, that I know...

    Maybe after the term/s again, she can be a candidate again. Who knows...maybe it's not her time yet to run the presidency..

    Good luck to all of the candidates... May the BEST candidates be chosen wisely by your countrymen, Mumsy...and so are you.

      Well, summer, if Obama wins as we hope, that's eight years, so the next time for her to run she would be only three years younger than McCain is now!!!

      If McCain would win, she could run in four years, after
      12 years of Republican missteps.

      There, I'm through venting now!!!

    Mumsy, pardon me but I'd like to know if Mr. Obama wins this coming election, will he be the first black pres. to win in the history of USA Presidents?

    Just curious.

    Thanks.

      Yes, but Hillary would have been the first woman president,
      or vice-president if he had chosen her.

      Ah, thank you summer!

      My gal HIllary spoke at the Democratic convention
      last night, reaffirming her support for Obama/Biden
      as the nominees. On to November!
      The Republicans meet next week for their convention.

      Good morming, Mariza!

      I thought it was time I got onboard,
      wholeheartedly. I was still on Joe Biden's
      email list, continuing to get updates.

      And what better prompt than a birthday
      to get me moving.

      Thank you! Sending hugs back to you!

    Dear M-C

    These messages, so well expressed,
    should enter in the king's contest.
    They're haiku jewels - every one
    and contest has four days to run.

    And then watch for the king to fix
    your contest number #36.

    Applause for these gems. Love and hugs, XXX H.

    PS: My ignorance I must confess.
    Pray, what is the PK Express?
    There's Wrigley's PK chewing-gum
    but is this kiwi just plain dumb?

      The PK Express,
      my invention
      after Hilary's speech
      at the convention
      last night,
      and a message
      about PK's birthday today.
      I imagined it as a take-off
      on his railroad tracks avatar,
      an express to November,
      and an election win,
      Obama/Biden.
      One of the many slogans
      she introduced was
      "race to the future."
      Yes, all wrapped up
      in our politics here!

      Ah, Hugh, always the promoter,
      looking for even more entries!

      I was still debating with myself,
      the form, the graphics, the message--
      of a project in process! I shall follow
      your suggestion and post in your contest.


      Hmmmm...but how to do that---would it not post again here?
