I am not in this for self-agrandizement....I am in it because of the difference, in judgment especially, between Barack and Hillary. And on that front, people need to be reminded of Hillary's poor judgment (including lack of integrity) joining in the runup to the war.

Seeing the footage of Kennedy rallies from the 60's made me wonder what happened to all that hope and promise? It's so wonderful to see Obama bring it back. Of course we have incredibly hard work ahead, but Obama has proven to me anyway that he is the one who can get us where we need to be.
