Was Hillary Supporter (not PUMA) wasn't excited 'bout Barack

Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 11:28 PM by thecorrection

But tonight he hit a grand slam, made a touch-down, scored a goal, shot a three-pointer with nothing but net and I'm proud to call Barack my candidate. I feel as excited as I did the first time I was able to vote (Clinton '92) and being the cynic that I am, it takes a lot to get me excited about political candidates.

Obama did everything he needed to do tonight to take all the groundwork laid this week by the leaders of the Dem party and made sure their faith wasn't placed in vain. Great job!

3. Don't get me wrong

I've still got a little part of me thinking, "This guy better be for real, damnit!" But like I said, I'm a cynic and almost always think the worst of people first.

8. Awesome.

Glad to hear it. Now I hope we all focus that excitement into the campaign. Give a couple bucks if we've got it, volunteer if we're able and educate ourself on the issues so we can tune our friends in and school our adversaries when the opportunity presents itself. That last one we all can do.
