The 9 months have been exciting, have they not? Obama wins the nomination. McCain is the Republican — the Palin drama (thank you Tina Fey for some humor)…does Hillary become VP? No, it’s Biden. And then election night.
Election night was great. It still amazes me how close the race was. I told folks leading into [...]

Ordinary citizens – connection through a common belief
Posted in caucus, obama, politics on February 23, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I visited a new dentist yesterday (thank goodness for health care) and an interesting moment developed. No, it didn’t have to do with teeth, flossing or cavities, it had to do with Senator Barack Obama and the belief of change in America…

Yesterday after a great day of skiing, my wife and I met some people at a Chinese restaurant in our neighborhood. We’ve been there many times and her parents know the owner/bartender rather well.

I have to say, she handled herself very well as a potential first lady.

Has anyone heard Donna Bralize this past weekend on CNN talking about her role as a Democrat SUPER-Delegate? There’s a big debate and concern about the role of the SUPER delegate in this year’s Democratic Party nomination.

Today all the candidates, the debates, the issues and the reality of this election became a reality for me…and it was amazing. Saturday, February 9th was caucus day in Washington State. Since I’ve never ‘caucused’ before, I had no idea what to expect. Let me tell you more…
