**helping spread the good news that leli sent me this morning**
----------
The National Organization for Women (NOW) has endorsed Barack Obama for President.

This is unprecedented - they do not endorse candidates.

They stated in an interview with NPR this morning, however, that Pallin is an "anathema" to everything their organization champions and they could not stand idly by and watch her being touted as a "woman's rights" candidate.

I'd pass this on to as many women as you feel comfortable passing it on to - we need to vote.

It continues to astound me, how ignorance can be so prevalent and yet truth- delivered by the very same medium by which many of the falsehoods we're seeing are- continues to elude so many. I worry that sometimes it's because people will listen to only what supports their pre(mis?)conceptions.

My father-in-law, for example. Great guy. Love him to death. I'd even say brilliant, on a number of subjects. But he is convinced beyond any available evidence that Obama refused to meet with soldiers during his overseas trip, based on what he's read/seen. When I brought to his attention that the soldier who wrote the original letter suggesting such retracted his own statement, and that there are pictures of Obama meeting with soldiers, he stated that it was all a staged photo op afterwards, since he knew that 'it would look bad'.
