Here's a photo of Barack Obama and I before the 2006 Harkin Steak Fry (Indianola, Iowa). I was impressed with Obama the man, but let me tell you, his stump speech has improved 110%
It's going to be a wild ride tomorrow! Hillary is in a bad spot...trying to prevent backslide instead of getting forward momentum like Barack Obama. It seems that having the endorsement of the reclusive Barbara Streisand doesn't quite add up to the one-a-day endorsement machine that Obama's campaign has become. I think it's great and it's all very interesting, don't get me wrong. But I do believe these late endorsements don't have as much meaning, because Obama's already a proven winner.
All Barack Obama needed to get him started was a gigantic win in Iowa and another in South Carolina. He's proven that he can win in two very different parts of the country.
Bill Clinton did more than damage his own reputation during the run up to South Carolina. He may have dealt the death-blow to his wife's chances of being president. Sadly, that legacy will stick with him longer that any intern.
Great observations Claire. On Newsvine I've read many articles, from republicans to democrats to independents alike, saying that they either would or did vote from Barak Obama because they felt it was a vote for change. People are tired of partisanism, they do not want another polarizing figure head in office and many believe that Obama will be a unifier while Clinton has already proven to polarize people. The fact that the most likely candidates are a woman and a black man is already an indication of something huge happening in our nation.
La lucha continua!
