I spent a bit of time yesterday accosting folks in shopping centers to spread the word about registration in my state and the newly-opened Obama headquarters in my town.
Perhaps it is fanciful thinking, but those who support Obama seem a bit different from those who grunted and scurried away. It is as though the sense of hope that he has brought has made his supporters smile a little more and look a bit more as though they are having fun in the world.
And I have always believed one can tell something about the candidate by the volunteers he or she attracts. The regional organizers and local volunteers I am seeing are the sort of people I would have hoped to see: all ages, bright and informed, enthusiastic, laugh-ready, and working long hours fueled by optimism and hope.

Imagine that…some folks don’t prefer to take a political handout from a stranger on the street!
Makes sense to me that those few that you percieve as supporting BO are all smiling happy souls of hope..(?)..continue to drink the coolaid, Puffin.
If BO is so perfect in every way..how come he has to apologise constantly for making bad decisions? Oh, I know…it is the big bad press..yeah right. The MSM has turned on Hillary is a huge way and have now shined their agenda driven stage lights upon the great savior of the nation. ::which nation? Islamic or Christian. Only BO knows for sure.::

Oh, lordy, lordy, Tex. Tell me you are not pushing the old canard about Obama being Muslim. Think about it, bro. You don’t have to like Obama but why dilute your position by all this? Deal with real issues. For McCain.
Thanks for the post. Nice to know you are still reading. BTW what is MSM? I need a bit of education here.

MSM=Main Stream Media…thanks for your respect of my humble opines in allowing me to visit this place of BO heaven.
I will not assail your intelligence as you do mine…you are the vaunted former college professor which, as a group has earned the title of the most lefties of the land of the left, indeed.
Now, folks (?) are saying that during the debate ABC favored Hillary and were not kind to BO.
Boo-Hoo…the frontrunner takes all the arrows when he hits the beaches…that is how it is bucko..he should be thankful…he is leading the parade of clowns paving the way for an enchanting evening of stellar attractions in Denver with the DNC hosting amateur hour.

Gosh, Tex. I actually in no way think I am superior to you. I just think Obama or almost any democrat is superior to McCain and almost any Republican. I think there is a diff, don’t you?
