I am so anxious right now it is killing me. I live in Maryland and will be waking up in 13 hours to make my way to vote for, our man, Barack 'the vote' Obama.

This is a turning point election. Our country can either head forward on a new path and new direction - or we can continue to dwell in fear.

I just can't wait to vote for Obama for the second time (no fraud here - just talking about the primary).

In this audience, it is probably pretty obvious that the Obama health care plan makes more sense. The question we need to ask ourselves is do the conclusions that both McCain and Obama have come to make sense and what should we do about it.

I work on the fringes of the health care industry and my argument is that our national self-identity might be preventing a real substantive look at how we really need to change the health care system.

This might be a bit of a heady diary for some of you. It isn't an UPDATE. It isn't BREAKING. It took me years to come to these conclusions and it has taken me even longer to write them out.

Modern, American conservatism has it wrong. Did it always have it wrong? Maybe - Maybe not. Here is what I do know - unchecked Conservatism with it's obscenely deregulatory attitude has plowed us into the current health care, financial, and mortgage crises.

How do I know this? I was a former card carrying member of the Republican party. I did all sorts of things you should hate me for: I voted for Republicans, I protested abortion clinics, I was even a CR (can you believe it).

If this election is really a change election, maybe some of the things I say here can be used when you talk to your conservative friends and family members.

Friends, I don't know if you notice what I've been noticing over the past four days, but it is fantastic.

The polls have shown Barack down for about two weeks. He has lost some of his support in the west. Ohio polling shows McCain on the rise. North Carolina is looking more and more like a long shot.

How have we reacted?

A few months ago I was sitting with a friend and we were elated at the confusion of the Republican race. Neither of us had committed to a democratic candidate but both of us agreed that both Obama and Clinton were good choices.

So my friend asked me, who do you think the nominee will be. I stated that I didn't have a clue. All of the men seemed to have intrinsic flaws. Then he asked me, who do you FEAR in a general election. I immediately shot out McCain. A month and a half later - McCain was the presumptive nominee.

News out of Texas today has Hillary's campaign exploring methods of marginalizing the rules of engagement for the Texas Caucimary. Those methods would include suing the Texas DC for enacting rules that are inherently unfair.

This is not the first time that the Clinton campaign has attempted to change the rules midstream. While trying to get the Michigan and Florida delegates seated at the convention should immediately come to mind. The campaign also supported a lawsuit by a labor organization in Nevada that sought to disenfranchise voters whose polling place happened to be at one of the Casinos on the strip.

This post will probably be seen as downright inflammatory by any baby boomer that reads this.

...but what the hell, It's a Thursday!!

I have heard many boomers gushingly compare Barack Obama to JFK. Trust me, I see the similarities and think Obama would be great for this country. However, I'm not entirely certain how boomers get to label him as the second coming of JFK.

I know others are probably talking about this, but it seems like the story in the MSM right now is what can Hillary do to not lose.

I think it is pretty clear that she needs to win Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania to have a chance at victory in this Primary fight. Her campaign has laid out that much of a strategy. Puerto Rico could be an ace in the hole for her, but she still needs to make up (potentially) a 150 delegate majority that Obama has built through February.

Other than not making major political errors, what can Sen. Obama do?
