Winning isn't everything to me anymore
I don't know what will happen in this election. I know one thing though, for the 1st time in a long time, just being and having someone to believe in will be enough. I feel so very honored to be able to witness this man with the funny name, Obama.

I was too young to be moved so by the Kennedy's. I am not too young to realize that, if lucky, sometime in our life we will be blessed by a gift so much greater than ourselves, that by simply accepting it, we are rewarded in a way that give us peace and humility.

1. Good! Tell Hillary's opponent to quit and go back to Chicago
There's a troubled church in Chicago that needs racial reconciliation.

3. you've missed the meaning of Obama's speech then
to start reconciliation, you need to rise above the negativity you've spouted in these threads, and to say, we are Americans united for a better America.

5. It must tear you up to know deep down Hillary won't be the nominee
and that she is prolonging the inevitable to divide the party just so she can try again in 2012.

9. It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game.....
and the way Hillary is playing it, she could, in a very unethical way, win the nomination and lose everything we say we are fighting for.

21. No. If you want to get elected you have to play hard. You can worry about
everything else later on.

13. It is a rare and beautiful thing, a politician standing before the
American people and speaking the truth. I've waited over a quarter of a century for the moment to come again. Now that it has I know one thing for sure. Barack Obama must become the 44th. POTUS. We ALL need to get behind him ASAP.

19. That's where I've always been.
I wont sell my soul to get what I want. I won't become what I hate to get what I want. I like being able to put my head down on my pillow at night without hating myself.
