Especially in light of his opponent displaying the Republican in the Republican wing of the Democratic party.

  Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton spent Wednesday in D.C. trying to lobby uncommitted House superdelegates, but she asked them to come to her and had limited success convincing busy lawmakers to leave the Capitol. Obama showed up on their turf, walking into a packed chamber this morning in the middle of a vote.

    her, but Obama goes to them.
    
    That's the way to ask for votes, of the people and the SD's. They, and we, are the important ones - not the candidate.

      Clinton a few months ago deigning to hint that Obama would be OK in her VP spot.
      
      The above comment is probably disrespectful of John McCain's military service somehow.

        Very Norma Desmond, indeed.
        
        And it's time for Mark Penn to wind up floating face down in the pool, like Bill Holden in the film's stunning opening shot. (Figuratively, of course).

  I now have another reason to love this man - and I'm a straight old white guy. I have not been this motivated to work and vote for anyone since JFK in 1960. I couldn't vote for JFK then because I was only 20 and one had to be 21 to vote then. I can vote for Obama and I did in the NC primary and I will in the GE. I attended his rally in Winston-Salem and he was his usual magnificent self. I don't have any illusion that he is a super man or that he will always promote policies that I agree with, but I do believe that he is thoughtful, intelligent, and is an outstanding strategic thinker with a strong character and that damn well beats anything I have seen in almost 50 years.

        I'm an old white woman, living north of Durham. My old white husband and I both voted for Obama last Tuesday, and it was such a pleasure to vote FOR instead of AGAINST a candidate.
        
        I envy your getting to hear Barak in person. I may not get close enuf to hear him, but when he's sworn in next Jan, I'm going up to DC for the Inauguration. I hope I also get a chance to give Bush the finger as he's leaving town that day.

        Hi smeesq (0+ / 0-)
        
        We go to Durham a few times a year to watch the Duke Women play basketball. We are going to Chapel Hill on Saturday to see one of our niece's get her MSW from UNC. I hope and wish (I would pray, but alas I'm agnostic) you get to see Obama Inaugurated. Give Bush 2 fingers (one for me)

        Who would have thought there could be two agnostics in NC?? We should have a march.
        
        We're big fans of Duke Men's BB - and its been a rough couple of years for us in that regard.
        
        I will definitely give Bush your "blessing" when I'm in DC.

        and I are big Duke fans too, but its near impossible to get tickets to the mens' games. We became Duke fans in 1978 when we went to the ACC tourney final (some UNC friends gave us their tickets) between Wake and Duke. We were inclined to root for Wake because we live in W-S and my wife was on the faculty at the time, but we fell in love with the way Duke was playing - this was the team with Spanarkle sp? and Gminski - and we have been Duke fans ever since. Regarding the last couple of years - keep in mind that most programs would love to have the record that Duke has had. Just goes to show you how much we have come to expect from the Duke program.
