Barack

From an email I sent earlier: I'm so enthusiastic about Barack Obama's candidacy that I've started to habitually check myself, asking myself if I'm becoming overzealous, or am being 'taken in' by appealing rhetoric. Just to be safe, you know? But the conclusion I keep arriving at is that this really is the turning point it appears to be; that he really is what he looks like. I'm a cynic at heart. Deep down. For me to feel as strong as this about a f***ing politician, of all things, is seemingly unlikely...and yet, he has captured my attention in a way that I can scarcely explain. As I read somewhere recently, I think I might have an inkling of what conservatives felt when Reagan came along. Suddenly, a person comes out of nowhere, embodying my ideals and my ideas, and does so with integrity, focus, honesty and energy. If I were a religious man, I would thank God for Barack Obama. As it is, I'll just thank Barack. And vote.
