Nothing could be finah . . .
. . . than to be in Carolina in the morning . . . if you're Barack Obama, don't you think? (And isn't it puzzling that none of the major networks used that little ditty to introduce their coverage today?!)
I'm not sure who I'll vote for in November, but I'm utterly delighted that Obama is doing so well in the primaries. It's a sign that the country's electorate really does want to get out of the usual mold (and moldiness) and support the excitement of a new vigorous person who (for whatever odd reason) really wants to see if he can effect positive change.
My father used to say that the major reason Reagan was such a good thing for the country was that he made many people feel that the country was in good shape and strong. I didn't entirely agree with him then but I'm sure we would all benefit from having Obama's upbeat assurance that young and old, rich and poor can unite and accomplish good things for all Americans take up residence as the Democrats' candidate.
