Seven more days. I woke with a sinus headache and the sniffles this morning – bound to be a cold coming on. Lost of people at the Campaign for Change headquarters pulling long shifts and looking a bit blearly. Temps dropping into the 30s this week with snow in the forecast. But we’re not letting up one bit in Michigan, […]

I don’t believe it’s a certainty (yet) but this does put a smile on my face. From Election-Projection.net: Ouch. I’m just sayin’…

This is the coolest Obama YouTube yet. He stopped by a Campaign for Change office in Missouri and spent time talking to voters on the phone. Amazing. I’m just sayin’…

It’s not easy keeping your campaign on the good side of decent. But I have been amazed by how the Campaign for Change has gone out of their way to keep their message positive. As Matt Damon said in an interview yesterday regarding his decision not to criticize the McCain/Palin ticket, “The Obama campaign has decided to focus on the […]

Great graphic, nicked from The Daily Kos. (Data from BigTenPoll.org.) Me likes. Me likes a LOT. I’m just smilin’…

In Washtenaw county, home of Ann Arbor, Michigan, one of the most active community leaders in Senator Obama’s Campaign for Change voted for John McCain in the Michigan primary. He soon became disenchanted by a man who seemed not to care how long our young men and women remain in Iraq and this life-long Republican jumped ship and began working […]

I admit it: I am unabashedly inspired by Barack Obama. I’m inspired by his speeches. I’m inspired by his written words. I’m inspired by the way he has and is running his campaign. And I’m inspired by his life story. Although I live in the liberal Ann Arbor area, I work in a VERY conservative town. Almost daily I listen […]

Ypsilanti? Yes, Ypsilanti. Bruce Springsteen in Ypsilanti, Michigan. It’s possible that only Barack Obama could make that possible. “Hello, Ypsilanti!” Springsteen shouted to the audience of around 11,000. “Glad to be here! I don’t know how to spell it, though.” Even so, the rock legend seemed very comfortable in this odd-named town that’s an eclectic blend of college students from […]

As Sarah Palin scans her morning coffee cup for words of inspiration and wisdom, one wonders if, in light of their campaign’s recent turn toward the Dark Side, this quote appeared to her: “In life you need either inspiration or desperation.”– Anthony Robbins And THIS is enough to make anyone desperate: Pollster data from 10/6/2008 This is Desperation’s Crocodile. At […]

Rich Lowry at the National Review is already spinning Obama’s victory over McCain. While I agree that the economic crisis has impacted McCain’s campaign harder, there’s a good reason for that: his party’s approach for the past eight years (and his actions in Congress) have done NOTHING to mitigate the financial meltdown we’re seeing. The fact that Obama has been […]

Back in 2006, during ethics reform debates in the Senate, Barack Obama sent John McCain a letter proposing a path forward, one that was not to John McCain’s liking. So John McCain sent him back what has to be the snarkiest, most sarcastic response I have ever read in what should be a professional communication. You can read both letters […]
