Ok, my first diary, so be gentle!

With all the candidate diaries out there, I thought some might enjoy the diversion of one person's peculiar and personal voyage to becoming an Obama supporter. Tomorrow are the Maine caucuses, and I'm looking forward to supporting Barack for many reasons, large and small. Mostly, of course, they are purely political. But in my case, at least, there's a personal element, based on a couple of encounters with the candidate, at least one entirely unforeseen. They may seem insignificant to some, but all I can say is they have, to me, reinforced what I'd already be inclined to do.

More below the fold.
