I just heard on MSNBC that Senator Feinstein, senator of a state that went overwhelmingly for Obama, said she reserves the right to vote against the stimulus package.

So, I called her office...

I'm tying to wrap my mind around the last few months, and it's tough.

In September, my firm of 50 or so attorneys laid off 5 attorneys and 7 staff. Of the attorneys, four corporate lawyers (the division I work in) were laid off and one litigation attorney. It was awful, but we thought that was the worst of it.

There's several hundred people parked on the intersection of Wilshire and Westwood Blvd in L.A. right now protesting Prop 8. They marched up Wilshire from the Federal Building than sat down in the intersection.

The day Obama gives his acceptance speech as the Democratic nominee for the President of the United States at the Democratic Convention on August 28, 2008 will be the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech.

A few weeks after Obama takes the oath of office as our next President, we will be celebrating the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln.

The symbolism of these historic events coinciding is too momentous to ignore.

I find genetics and genealogy fascinating. I think there's so much to explore in the area of how much our genetic makeup contributes to our personalities/tendencies throughout our lives as opposed to our upbringing.

With that, I found it incredibly intriguing that Barack Obama's lineage has ties to quite an impressive list of leaders (regardless of whether they were good leaders):

We are a Jewish nation. We are a Buddhist nation. We are a Muslim nation, Hindu nation. And we are a nation of atheists and non-believers.

Obama said this at the end of his interview in the Compassion Forum when asked, (paraphrasing), what is your response to those who say religion has far too much influence in public life?

He said religion and religious metaphors have a place in the public square (i.e. pulic discourse), but then he went on to say...

With the recent diary claiming the NYT's has Hillary Clinton ahead in the delegate count by 912 to Obama's 741, it's time the DNC took over the delegate count in this very closely contested race.

So far, the delegate counting is all over the place.

Just got home from seeing Obama at the Universal Amphitheater. Was looking for a diary on it, and I can't find one, so guess it's up to me.

Let me just start off by saying, this event was fun. I don't normally think of political rallies as fun. They're informational and can be motivating or inspiring, but fun? Eh, not really.

In fact, the first time I saw Obama was in Crenshaw last spring. Now, that was pretty much like a typical political rally. This time, it was a rock concert. Literally.

As RJ Eskow noted in his blog today on the HuffPost, there was a very disingenous blog post today in the NYT's political blog The Caucus.

Patrick Healy, the Caucus' blogger, quoted a "fundraising analyst" who said,

"Clinton’s blow-away third quarter fundraising total is likely to have, among other things, a profound psychological effect on voters," Mr. Panagopoulos said. "It will give the impression of growing Clinton strength — both in terms of dollars and number of donors."

"Obama also raised impressive sums," he added, "but he may be seen as languishing relative to previous quarters. Obama’s lackluster third quarter intake, relative to previous quarters, reflects, at least in part, waning enthusiasm for his candidacy and diminishing prospects for an Obama victory."
