I won without spending any money.  I would like to thank everyone in Oshtemo who voted for me.  I was sworn in on Thursday November 20.  I have convinced 3 people to register to vote since the election.  In 2006 the voter turnout in Oshtemo precinct 5 was 25%.  This year the voter turnout was 48%. 

I did a little research.  The voter turnout in Oshtemo 5 for the August primary was 6%.  That is incredibly discouraging.

OK.

So now can we not hear, ever again, that "Hope" and "Change" are vacuous words, with no content except what the listener chooses to impart to them?

This was a clarion call for progressive values, and thence to progressive policies.

Can we not hear, ever again, that because Obama wants to reach out to Republicans to accomplish things, that he is being naive, or compromising?
