[Rhodes22-list] Soup or Tuesday

[Steven Alm]

"I specifically spoke to a very specific email, one that touted nothing
about a candidate except how much better he's going to make us look to
the rest of the world."

Herb, you're right. I said little more than that about Obama.  To clarify,
I'm not voting for him because he's black.  I'm voting for him because I
think he's the better choice over Hillary.  But because he's black, I think
the collective heart of the planet will skip a beat if he's elected.  The
world will never look at the USA the same again and that's a good thing.
