I am lady's husband. The management part cracks me up! On the myers-brigs personality test, I am a mastermind! I share a laptop with her and really don't post much but wanted to say that this whole discussion is helping.

Your are under a misconception about the caucusing process in Iowa. The Republican Caucus there is simply a straw pole. They count individual votes. The Democratic Caucus counts individual precincts. So you are making an apples to oranges comparison. Its like comparing the popular vote for one candidate to the electoral vote of another. In terms of votes, your right, 32,000 people voted for Huckabee. However, 93,000 people voted for Obama. Moreover, even though party registration between Republicans and Democrats is about equal in Iowa, nearly twice as many people caucused for the Democrats than the Republicans. So the Democrats are much more energized in Iowa than the Republicans and are capturing much more independents than Republicans are. http://data.desmoinesregister.com/election...emscounties.php http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#IA Amen to that! NH is going to be more difficult. But really, Obama has unbelievable momentum right now. I was gushing over his speech last night. Wonderful! (If you youtube it, the last three minutes are heart-pounding...at least if you're me). McCain has NH in the bag, I think. I just don't get how any of you can support Obama. I've been finding news stories in an effort to find out about the presidential hopefuls. There seems to be a bit of a dearth of information on Obama, but the articles I did find on him all said that his voting record shows he's "100% pro-choice, even including late-term, partial-birth abortions." This is significant, and surely over-rules any other qualities he may have. That's exactly right!!!! The man won't even say the Pledge. If someone is going to be our President, don't you think he should say the Pledge? He is also pro-choice. So, I don't know how anyone could vote for him either

:whistling: Hmmm.... My wife wants to go to law school.. Should I aquaint her with sharks now??

From my recent experiences, I have one thing to add to this anger issue: Be mindful of the hurting and the unbelievers who are watching the anger. What kind of witness is it? From personal experience, it's not a good one. If it doesn't bring grace to the hearer, then don't post it. It' s better to leave something unsaid then to cause discord and hurt.

I am the subject of this post's husband. I am christian and don't agree with my wife's choice of religions but I do expect her to be respected. I have been with her through much heartache and pain. I do not push her on the church issues because her pain is legitimate. I have my own issues which don't help her but we are in counseling over them. She cried for hours this morning over a persons insensitive remarks. Someone actually accused her of coming to this site to recruit. I am outraged that this is allowed on this site. I have read through my wife's posts and she has been nothing but honest and respectful with everyone. Her counselor and I were making some headway into trying to get her into church but she refuses to do so after this attack. If she were your wife or sister, wouldn't you be outraged??? How do I get her to not give up? I am trying to convince her that God loves her then something like this happens.
