My middle school's band teacher (he's the "lead singer" in the hat) and his brothers wrote the song. He told us about it last night when we were at a concert of local high school jazz bands. Small world. Funny story. My middle school’s band teacher (he’s the “lead singer” in the hat) and his brothers wrote the song.

I think the issues move me away from the Republican option, and Obama's speeches and the ethos surrounding him draws me into his camp. Even if he can't live up to his promises (and honestly no one does, and America seems to not actually expect anyone to) it's like he's lifting a haze of apathy and fatalism. People want to believe that things can change and he is giving them a vehicle to place that hope in. That "yes we can" video (watch it on youtube if you haven't seen it) almost makes me proud to be an American, and I say if a polititian can engender in me something resembling patriotism that is a powerful thing.

I hear they turned several thousand people away from Key Arena. I did not go to the rally today – it would have taken all day. I hear they turned several thousand people away from Key Arena.

I did really like the education stuff he has on his site. I don't know if I should choose him based on everyone else's strong support, but all the strong support does say something! Did you get to go to the Obama and or Clinton rallies in Seattle today? They were mentioned on the national news.
