Having just returned from San Antonio, Texas after celebrating 20 years of marriage
to the Anna…was a pretty big deal. We stayed at the La Cantera Golf Resort…out
of town and off the 10 and 1604 loop! We renewed our vows at 1:00PM over looking the beautiful Golf Course! The restaurants are great and they made us a wonderful 20th Anniversary Wedding Cake – that was delicious for the six total in our party! Yes, and we saw The Alamo….got the T-Shirts and caps…yes, we saw the River Walk and took the great boat ride. The Seniors get the $5.00 ticket and the regulars pay the standard $7.50! It is sort of a Disneyland Jungle Ride for grown-ups! You learn a lot about the history of San Antonio and the water system and River Walk which is fed by a river and underground springs! We ate at the wonderful Shilos (She-Lows) Deli, which makes the best German Food in the Country. We couldn’t get to Mi Tierra Cafe and Bakery with the Mariachis…because our dear friend (currently undergoing Chemo) fainted in the middle of the street about a block from the restaurant. We went back to La Cantera Hotel and ordered in. We will go back to San Antonio again….and spend some time at Mi Tierra then!
Anyway, the CNN location truck was stuck right in front of the Alamo….Reporter
Ali Velshi was busy interviewing just about anyone that would stop by. So, being
the gigantic ham…..Ron got a chance to blab about Obama! Reporter Ali was pretty well shocked by the fact that a Conservative Republican was going to Opt Out of McCain in this election and go with Obama! At any rate, Obama Fever is running strong in the Lone Star State! Right now Obama 48%, Clinton 44% and Undecided 8%!
We strongly believe that Obama is going to sweep Texas. Bill Clinton is so panicked that he keeps talking about how “humble” you have to be to be President! The story
is however, that Obama looks stronger, more relaxed and more focused….as this race
goes on. There is every chance the his lead in Texas may in fact lap over to the
“Buckeye State”…Ohio! But we won’t have to wait long….this all comes about on
next Tuesday, March 4th!
We have friends on all three sides of this issue: Some are going to hold their
noses and just vote for McCain…in spite of the fact they know he can’t beat either
Democratic Candidate. Some single white females and disgruntled married women are
going for Hillary…primarily because they think that Hillary will be the only
chance for a female President in their life times! Finally, you have the blood and
guts…love him or hate him Obama supporters. They start with the “Obama Girl”
and roll all over the map..even to Louis Farrakan! Our dear friend hates Obama,
but can’t tell us why. He has even created an “Obama Nation” bumper sticker and
is busy working on the the Black and White T-Shirt…to go with it. Meanwhile,
Obama keeps attracting disgruntled Republicans, Right Wing Democrats and lots and
lots of young talent to the political scene….that finally are excited enough to
not only vote…but reach deeply into their wallets and give till it hurts! Yep,
Obama has broken the One Million mark for donations to his campaign. He’s pulling
bigger money numbers than Hillary by a sizable margin. Obama continues to keep
not only a smooth and unruffled manner..but in fact seems more professional than
at any time…up to this point.
Something to think on: Ralph Nader has thrown his hat into the ring and will be
taking more Hillary votes away. We doubt that these Nader’s Raiders are going to
be taking much away from Obama. In fact, Nader may brook a sizable part of his
traditional vote directly to Obama.
Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani was on Saturday Night Live….for Week-End Update!
Rudy’s broad smile and relaxed manner, gave us a twinge of remorse…..for going
with Obama…..but Rudy….had his choices! Obama Fever…..is now free to move
about the country. We still don’t understand how Hillary…who opened SNL last
night….”Live from New York…it’s Saturday Night!” still doesn’t get it. Her Sopranos take off Ad with Bill bombed with everyone and now she thinks she is hip enough to do SNL. She probably could have done better on MTV playing the Saxophone! We just can’t wait to see what happens on Tuesday in Ohio, to find out how effective she was on SNL!
Who Obama chooses as his running mate will be pivotal in whether he can win or not
against McCain. He can’t choose a black, Hillary, Al Gore, John Edwards or someone that is not mainstream. This may be his biggest challenge in the whole campaign! Texas…..if Obama wins there………..Whoa Nelly!!!!!
Ron and Anna,
Congratulations on 20 years of marriage! You finally caught up to me…
Art,
Thanks kind sir…yep, we consider
it a major bench mark. We tried
to make it easier…because our
Anniversary is on February 29th…
and coincides with every major election year. Also, every four
years we get married at another
location! The first one was right
in the middle of Newport Harbor aboard the historical sail boat..
“The Spike Africa”, four years
later: Sedona, Arizona by the Justice of the Peace of Sedona,
four years later: Smather’s Beach
in Key West, Florida by a Sea Captain. Four years later, at the
Marriot Resort in Palm Desert….
and four years ago…at the the
Little White Chapel in Las Vegas
with the fat Elvis singing!!!!
It has been fun! Renewing our vows kind of gives us something to
look forward to, in spite of the bad assortment of political candidates!
Congratulations!
Here is something to help celebrate the post:

First, congrat.s’ on your 20 years together. As for leaving the GOP choice to vote for Obama, you should be ashamed. I bet you are the kind of couple that puts a Laker’s flag on your car after they when a championship. Too bad your beliefs are so shallow.
REd #3 – That was too cool…..

“VIVA OBAMA”……and loving it!
In response to our shallow values:
How about watching our “A Clinton
Legacy!” on our website:
http://www.cuttingedge-atalkshow.com
Even McCain’s Hanoi Hilton people
will not support him….not one!
McCain – Feingold, the Keating 5,
and he is no Conservative in any
respect.
I’m glad to see that the Winships are supporting Obama, whatever their convoluted reasoning may be. Welcome to the light. The TRUE test however, is whether they [and other conservatives ] are STILL supporting him come November, after the right-wing spin machine gets through with him.
Who the Hell are the Winships?
*Anony…3:46…
And who might be asking? It is
not for us to determine our own
veracity…our right or wrong of
it….
Opinion is like that! But thanks
for asking!
Ron & Ann, congrats on the making it around the block once again!
Ron, don’t vote, don’t bitch. If you are not part of the solution then your part of the problem. While I haven’t had a candidate that reflected my strict constructionist views, I have always voted. It’s an obligation to do the least amount of damage to the country and our fellow travelers here, in what should be the greatest nation on the planet. I will be holding my nose and vote for the guy who attempted to place a muzzle on our Rights. Not because he is great, but because he is better than the others. I am not at all happy about it, but I am realistic about the disaster that either of the others would be. I simply can not allow the car to drive off the cliff, without at least doing my part, to try to stop it.
*Good guy Carl,
Don’t be mislead…we will be voting in the Presidential Election
of 2008. For whom? Not for Hillary, Not for McCain, Not for
Obama unless we like his choice
in running mates.
Thank goodness we still have the
Non-Nuclear Option of Ralph Nader
– should all else fail!
