My dear Salon friends,
I wish to say that the experience of following the elections through your blog is just great!!!
I can feel the excitement in every post!!
Well, I just wanted to let you know that you've got a reader south of the equator and that a lot of my brazilian friends are very excited with what is happening in this US election.
I know that you are working hard to get Obama elected and I hope you understand that the real work will need to be done after he steps in the White House.
I believe Obama will need to feel the popular support in order make the changes the US needs. He will be faced with a lot of pressure not only from the republicans, but also from democrats at the Senate and the House.
You've got to keep this "election excitement" (sorry for the McCain air quotes) for the next 4 years at least or Obama will be dragged into the same old formulas of the same old politics.
He can't do this alone. He needs you guys and all his supporters to keep doing this great work. Keep blogging, keep posting great youtube videos, keep rallying and keep up the good spirit!
There's a lot to be done in the next 4 days, so boost your energy levels and make this happen!!!
A lot of positive energy from you friend in Brazil,
Marcelo Michelsohn

Marcelo, my friend, so nice to hear from you! These are extraordinary times, and it's encouraging to know how many people worldwide are following what happens here.
The only bit of bad news is that Dave is determined to vote for Lionel Messi. But, what are you going to do?
Despite Dave, we should all celebrate the election in Rio in 2009, ok?
Oh, and today is Halloween, so Jess is a wearing a costume to be a little brown horse . Very, very, very funny!
