On the elections
Like Daryl, I tended to vote for change in the elections this week. I don’t honestly know what we accomplished. I’m not sure whether we’ll see change, or just retribution and a swinging of the pendulum. I have gotten so disillusioned with politics in recent years, that for a long time I will have difficulty finding the redemptive aspects that Jim Wallis and his crew are working to find.
We also had another kind of vote here in Virginia: the marriage amendment passed overwhelmingly. I don’t think anyone was surprised. We haven’t seen the end of this issue — It will become a national/federal issue before long. And then Virginia will be knee-deep in it once again.
In other states’ news, I had to laugh at the ad that Corker ran against Ford in the last days of the Tennessee election… and almost had to cry when I saw that it worked.
