Reply #4: I wish I lived in Illinois [View All]

You guys get all the good ones. Durbin and Obama.
I have Senator "NO' Talent, and "JUNK" Bond here in MO.

I got to meet Obama at a farm shindig in Macoupin CO a week and a half ago. My daughter and her husband live in Madison CO. I was going for a visit and to see Howard Dean debate at SIUE. I happened to see someone on DU mention that Obama would be in Macoupin, and we went. My daughter was able to get both Obama and Dean to autograph their books. They both are exceptional. A week to remember.

And yes, Obama will go far. He reminds me of JFK when he was just starting out--he has that special quality that is rare. He has such charm, and is a natural wit. He asked my daughter if she had read his book yet, and she had just bought it and said no. He said "now you know, when I sign this, you won't be able to take it back."
