Obama in 08

I had the pleasure of attending the Barak Obama rally this weendend at ISU. While in college, I had attended several other rallies, speeches, and seminars featuring political candidates, but this one was by far the biggest, most energetic, and well-attended. Even though Barak is a junior Senator and doesn't have the most experience, a large segment of the population seems undaunted by these facts. In a nation full of political cynicism and doubt, perhaps an inexperienced idealist is exactly what the doctor ordered.

B.O. is the new J.F.K.! Kennedy was the first catholic in office, perhaps in 2008 obama could be the first African American in office? (presidential that is..)

good analogy to JKF - for mulitple reasons - more charisma than resume; more telegenic than 'machine'; is anyone in Barak's entourage named "Lincoln"?... hmm rats.
