1. Another similarity to Obama in 2006:

Obama wasn’t even mentioned in 2006 pre-midterm presidential polling…

7. Why is it when men make speeches people swoon and say they should be POTUS but

that rarely happens for women.

This is how women get pushed out of races: people fall in love with men who make speeches and hope they become president.

11. it is very sad but true commentary on the actua state of respect for women in our society. not sure when it is going to

break in the right direction.

14. And when women do run for president they have to prove WHY they want to run.

They're not really believed -- pundits will put on their Serious Face and say, but do we really know why she's running for president, does she even know, is she qualified, can we trust her, is she likable, do we even really know her.

8. Obama's style has inspired at least a handful of the younger gen Dems and Ossoff is definitely one of them.

9. He is staggeringly good.

And yeah, I'd happily vote for him in a primary. I am usually pretty reticent on that this early in the cycle.

10. He is reaching his stride.

And his instincts are good. This is an "Enough is enough" moment. Even for millions of MAGA people, they have seen enough.

We don't have to win every last MAGA creature. There are 40 million who voted for Trump and now having second thoughts.

12. this is very good stuff. thank you. and quoting the founding principles is a good talking point to stand on over and

over and over again.

to get us back to core values and out of greed is good, which somehow has become a mantra

greed is not good. self-interest is good and well-acknowledged in "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

but also acknowledged in the original papers is "the common good", without which we all will fall.
