During that april afternoon
the wind blowing on their faces
the sky bright with the moon
Brighter when the sun replaces.

I’m imaging right now how it will be difficult for the looser to speak today in these two big “parties” (or one party and one nightmare?) Democrats and Republicans are arranging…
Phoenix for McCain and Grant Park in Chicago for Obama. Do you think they have two prepared speeches for these two different situations: winning or loosing?
My guess:
- Obama will [...]
