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 [...]

The new generation of voters
Posted in politics on March 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
So, I’ve written about this before, but it still continues to fascinate me. I was speaking to a client this last week and I was sharing out my computer so he could see something I was going to present to him, and when I did he noticed image I had of Obama on my desktop.
”So, [...]
What happened?

I’m watching ‘The Presidents’ documentary on the History Channel, and it’s now covering George W. Bush. They just showed a clip of of him at Ground Zero, standing next to Bob Beckwith and in the background are chants of ‘USA, USA, USA!”
It makes me think – what happened? What happened to our belief in one [...]
Ordinary citizens – connection through a common belief

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…

Last Wednesday I attended my first meeting of the 5th District Democrats. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but that was part of the fun…
“Words mean nothing”

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.
As my wife and I walked into the bar to meet our friends the owner behind the bar shouted, “Hey, welcome, what would [...]
Valentine’s Day – a day of love and political debate?

Last night was the all important Valentine’s Day! Well, important because I think we all need to be reminded sometimes to think of those we love…and Valentine’s Day is a great reminder.
I had an interesting experience last night. My wife and I had dinner with her parents and her two grandmothers. Sitting around the table enjoying [...]
The purpose of the speech

Tonight Sen. Obama swept the primaries in VA, DC and MD. While watching CNN they covered the speeches of Sen. Clinton from El Paso, TX and Sen. Obama in Madison, WI. I noticed some obvious differences in their speeches.
When Hillary spoke she mentioned many of the specific programs she wants to impose as President of [...]
Michelle Obama – Next First Lady?
Posted in obama, politics, tagged larry king, michelle obama on February 12, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Michelle Obama was on CNN’s Larry King Live last night.
I have to say, she handled herself very well as a potential first lady.
One thing that stuck out in my mind was the fact that she constantly mentioned that ‘if Barack won’ or ‘if Barack lost’ or ‘Barack thinks…’ It was never about ‘us’ or ‘we’ [...]
Donna Brazile – my SUPER hero

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.
If the numbers play out, Obama may end up with the majority of delegates, but not enough based [...]
