Oh wow!  I think I figured it out!!  Now, I have to write this introduction and post it before I know for sure...

Anyway, I am Judi B from beautiful Jersey City in the very blue Hudson County, New Jersey.  I am late, late 60s (oh, all right, I turned 70 in May).  I live with my husband, Allan and three cats - Emma (Maine Coon) Simon and Peter (Norwegian Forest Cats). 

I was an early Obama supporter (Jan 2008) and voted for him in the Feb Super Tuesday.  My husband voted for Hillary, but soon joined me in the Obama space.

I have been in educational publishing my whole career, Harcourt, Pearson, Holt Rinehart and Winston. Now they all belong to each other.  Was a book designer, then production manager then a production director, then in sales.

Was born in CT, lived in MA till 1980 when I moved to NYC.  Moved to Orlando with Harcourt and fled back to the Northeast in 7 months. (I did miss the fall leaves and the snow).  In the early 60s I lived in Madrid, Spain.  What in the world is wrong with John McCain???  The Spaniards are great people.  When I lived there, it was a dictatorship with Gen. Franco.  Now it is a huge democracy and they are sooo brave and sassy.  I wish all of us in the USA could have half the democratic spririt that those folks have.   I also was a 9/11 survivor (not in but close by) and am really angry that the GOP have hijacked that for political reasons.  They have no shame.

I found Mudflats right after the GOP hate fest (convention)  and visit it throughout the day.  It is on my Bookmarks (yes I have a MAC) along with Huffpo and TMP. 

I live in a blue state, and am insulted because that right wing vet PAC is running ads here on TV against Obama.  I want to spit on the TV screen. Angry 

So, that is me!  I am so happy to meet you all!

Hi Judi B-- my husband teaches in Jersey City, at HCCC.  My daughter's working there now as well.  Amazing eh, that we now have a situation that rivals Hudson County politics on the national level!  LOL

My daughter was at the rally where Obama spoke in Jersey City and said it was just electrifying.

 Welcome

Remember, when you spit on the TV screen, eventually you have to wipe it off! Grin

Stay blue!
