Obama!

Caucusfied '08
My voting district went 5 to 2 in State Delegates for Obama!

There seemed to be a lot of both excitement and confusion in the air. Arrows, signs, people, pointing. I patiently waited in a line, most of the way, only to realize that the mental joiner I put between the signs shoulda been AND instead of THRU. I walked along a train of people through the crowd and found my table and then room. Walk n wait n sit and listen. Curiously I only saw 3 people I knew, 1 high-five in the hall and 2 in my district group... immediate next door neighbors. For a couple of reasons I was bashful about speaking much. It was certainly a an environment for full expression and I fell way short. The only blight on a great event... the shame of it is I've gotten much better about speaking in front of people, even 99 of'm. Such is life.

Watch his 10/2/02 Anti-Iraq War Speech, 2 weeks before Congress voted to give Bush the authority they did *The Video is of all that remains, rest performed by Obama supporters* FullText (Pretty goddamn remarkable for a guy with no experience):
