ma_belle @ma_belle (1357) • United States 27 Sep 07

wish me luck! I'm so nervous I won't get it. Or that I'll get an interview and totally muck it up. Tell me some good interviewing tips in case I score one. Otherwise just send good thoughts my way if you can. :)

ma_belle I agree with you. It is too far. I do like Obama but I also like Ron Paul. But I am waiting for more debates, discussions, and data to surface to begin to even think about committing to a candidate.
