HOPE

It is a word that has found its way into the presidential race. It is especially applied by younger Americans to the candidacy of Barack Obama. From the point of view of the impoverished and hopeless ... Obama has replaced the Lotto as the next great HOPE. It is encouraging. HOPE may encourage a desire to vote that has been lacking in the Proles.

Faith, HOPE and Charity -- the three Christian virtues. I wonder how that plays with Christian conservatives. Maybe it applies to Huckabee? I'm not so sure that is how HOPE is applied in this context. Do you think there is any real HOPE for change?

I just HOPE that McCain doesn't select Colin Powell as his running mate. :-)
