What a wonderful night.  I know that the post on Barack Obama’s campaign website is thanking those who have voted for him, but I also have to say Thank You to President-Elect Obama.  Thank you for inspring me to volunteer, to give, to participate in this movement.  Thank you for lifting up the voices of [...]

Huffpost put this up in their Sunday roundup.  I hadn’t seen it yet…it ends with a very poignant message.
True.

Last night’s debate was probably one of the most engaging debates that I have watched in my political life.  I appreciated the fact that both candidates actually talked to one another, challenged one another, gave some specifics about their positions, about what they were planning on doing, and also specifics that challenged their opponent in [...]

I have been struck twice in the last 14 hours by discussions about anti-intellectualism and the upcoming presidential election.  This discussion is nothing new and I likely will not be covering any new ground with my post here, but I continue to be mystified by the idea that we want our president (and our other [...]

As he often does, my friend Drew got me thinking this morning with a blog post. He is reflecting upon some of the pieces of Sarah Palin’s interview with Charles Gibson tonight on 20/20.  I have not seen the interview as yet (although the Tivo is set to record) and I have only seen a [...]

Ok - I know I said that my next post would not be political in nature, but I was just reading some stuff about Sarah Palin and have learned several things that just stun disappoint me that McCain picked her as his running mate.
In this interview with a site called Newsmax.com (never heard of it [...]

My Offcenter friend Drew posted a very thoughtful commentary on Sen. McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin as his VP candidate. His first point refers to the “Clinton question.” He writes:
Palin has already been called out that she was chosen to compete for the Hilary Clinton cohort. Bloomberg quotes her saying, “‘Hillary left [...]

As if I needed another reason to vote for Obama…He came out after Sen. Biden’s terrific acceptance speech and began to talk about how the convention has gone.  Sen. Obama accurately highlighted the strong (bordering on spectacular) speeches by Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Clinton (although he did leave out Kucinich’s stunning “Wake Up [...]

Wow - what a great weekend I have ahead of me…
Thursday Night - Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at Invesco Field Mile High Stadium.

I am seriously excited about Thursday night.  This is the first time in my life that I have either volunteered (I networked the printers wirelessly in his SD campaign office) for and [...]
