What is going on, this is awesome. Even though folks in Utah will not support Obama in the election, it is awesome to see that more presidential political donations, in terms of dollars, are going towards Obama. Utah is making me proud in its own way.
The Salt Lake Tribune has an interesting application that allows you to search for donations to the Presidential candidates here.
The McCain campaign sent me a letter today asking for money. While I have been a regular donor to Barak Obama’s campaign, I have not considered donating to McCain. Sweet Mandy was looking out for John by donating the following:
What about if I put the an Obama sticker on my vehicle? Do you think the Spanish Fork folk will give me at least a couple cudos if the sticker is on a truck?
Trucks are essential to the Spanish Fork way of life.
Well this has been a very interesting week in the economy. It has seen the end of two prominent Wall Street investment banks, and the bailout of the nation’s largest insurer. Gee wiz, tough times on wall street. Who comes in as the savior for these corporations? You guessed it, the United States government.
I guess you don’t qualify for welfare unless you are a very wealthy corporation which heavily leverages yourself with unsafe investments. That’s the welfare that the Republicans support.
Hey, I wouldn’t mind a welfare check — but I guess I am not rich enough.
I saw the Obama speech in person. It was awesome.
Well I made it. First stop is union station. The Union Pacific Railroad has some cool trains here. MSNBC has setup shop here as well.
I am going to Denver for a quick one day visit to the site of the Democratic National Convention. I did not get my “community credentials,” but I am extremely interested to witness the mayhem. I am very excited to be in close proximity to the next president of the united states: Barack Obama.
I will post pictures here as I take them.

Well it is sunday and nearly 7 P.M., which means the weeked is officially over. I am however, extremely excited for the Democratic Convention that will consume me this week. Sure this is a carefully staged commercial for the Democratic Nominee Barack Obama, but that is excactally what I want.
Life has been going good. Since we returned from Vegas two weeks ago Starla had her 4th brithday. Work has continued at a steady pace, and we have painted our master bed room. Just another couple days in suburban America for the Dayton’s.
Mandy and I play a game specific to our new home town. The game goes like this: Spot someone in touch with their redneck sense. Ever since we moved to Spanish Fork we have noticed an unusually high number of redneck / country folk. Today’s sighting includes a well molded mullet procuring beer at Albertsons.
I have hear this story a couple times over the past week. Utah has the worst voter participation in the country. For this we should be ashamed. Even though we vote like communists in this state, where most of us just assume that the Republican is the way to vote, at least we could turn out in greater numbers.
Part of the problem has to be the single party dominance in this state. People just think that one party is the way is has to be. AAAHHHH. Makes Paul mad!
