Since we have some great John Edwards diaries up today and an interesting Hillary diary concerning her interest in chosing a running mate (already!), I thought I'd throw some Obama into the mix...just keep everything ''fair and balanced". :)
Obama had a busy New York day yesterday with appearances in Manhattan, Brooklyn and with Jon Stewart on the Daily Show.
He appeared in Brooklyn at a sold out event last evening and according to Newsday, he rocked the house.
Sen. Barack Obama visited the home turf of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton Wednesday, rallying volunteers at an auditorium near Times Square, sharing laughs during an afternoon taping of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," then pumping hands with zealous supporters at a $25 per-person fundraiser in Brooklyn.
"What's up, Brooklyn?" a visibly confident Obama asked a roaring audience at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge. Many attendees had waited in chilly drizzle to hear the one-time Brooklynite speak. Obama briefly lived in Park Slope while at Columbia University.
"America is starving for change ... they are tired of the same old, same old ... ." Obama told a packed ballroom of about 1,200 people. "They are tired of the can't do, won't do, won't-even-try style of government."
Someone in the audience shouted: "I'm tired of this war." "This war is not worth it and we need to bring about a change," Obama shouted back, to wild applause.

Gotta say, I'm liking the man.
