Listen to this Story

This weekend, there are celebrations in Virginia commemorating the 400th anniversary of the first permanent English Settlement in the United States: Jamestown.

How many images of Barack Obama and John McCain have we each seen in the last month? How many sound bites have we heard from them? Hundreds? Thousands? Politics aside, this has got to do some strange things to our brains. It has to affect our sub-conscious on some basic level. So we want to know, Are you dreaming about the candidates? Has Obama or McCain or Biden or Palin crept into your R.E.M. State? Maybe in a toga? Or scuba gear?
Send us stories of your recent political dreams.
