Everyone, Read Obama's book Audacity of Hope!
And cheer up it is all good! I am an Edward's supporter and was extremely worried about Obama being too nice and too naive, but he really does get it. He sees what the left sees, but he REALLY is good at understanding both sides of an issue. Before his book I thought that meant he is cutting too much slack for the right wing crooks. He isn't. He knows out imperialist past. He knows that the CIA has covertly overthrown the wrong people and the blow back that continues to come at us. He really is brilliant.

Lets concentrate on cleaning house but first lets get in the door. Either John or Obama will get us there. For the first time I am feeling ok about it. All the good things about Obama's run are made better when you let him really tell you what he thinks... in his words. He is a good writer. My heart and head are still with John and he has many Kucinich supporters who have his ear. But Obama is really something special too, and I am glad there is real substance to go with his awesome charm.

Lets stop fighting reality. The top 3 have been created for us, but there it is. We have at the least turned the table on the Clinton inevitability. In a perfect world She would make a fine president, but in a world of Mellon Scaife we would end up with another Republican.

Who will get us in the door? Who will get Republicans who are privately sick of this nightmare to cross over? It has to be John or Obama.

1. Thanks for the heads up!
I've got his book sitting here...a friend of my daughter's lent it to us. I'm going to start reading now!

I'm impressed with Sen. Obama. He's quite inspirational and moving!

If your summary proves true, then I'm very comfortable supporting him. (My heart is with Sen. Edwards right now.)
