I know you don't totally think "all politics is local" let me prove it in a small way

Like my photographer buddies know well my Mom is 88, I talk to her briefly every day. Tel 3 - is very cheap for international calls.

I know in a limited way of course, like we all do, that our election is observed world wide for reasons huge/large/small.
I have for you a tiny trickle down speck of proof:

Mom lives in an old age home in Germany, it's a great place, run by Protestant Nuns, I have visited and love it there.
Across the hall from her lives her best friend of the house, an 85 year old Serbian woman whom I also adore. And today Mom told me that this deeply religious catholic woman gets on her knees every day and prays that Obama gets re-elected.

So there!
We are all one, and connected for reasons we don't understand.
And that includes our other thinking ones in our own country.
A win is ahead, and so is more hard work.
