I saw Obama in person last night

[Nimrod2005]

He brought down the house!!! By far the most energizing person in the race.

The event was held in Miami. Cubans, Haitians, whites, browns, and blacks were there supporting him. College students, white old ladies sitting in front of me were going crazy during his speech...etc.

Obama is a winner folks, he is going all the way!!!

1. I've got no problem with that....nt

[Windy]

2. I beginning to believe that he is the best hope we have for turning around this country....

Unfortunately, he's not getting a fair shake in the media who have already crowned Hillary Clinton as the nominee.

[Nimrod2005]

11. That was his best lines last night, turning the country around, FIXING things...etc.

[Telly Savalas]

16. Members of the media have just as many votes per person as the rest of us

and there are a lot more of us than them.

They aren't crowning anybody.

3. who else have you seen in person?

might be nice to contrast and compare.

9. I have seen Hillary, Obama, and Edwards...

..All in the past 6 months and the OP is right....There is absolutely no comparison. Obama inspires like no one else since JFK.

10. thank you

I appreciate your unbiased opinion.

(Love the avatar, by the way)

[Nimrod2005]

13. Agreed

[Nimrod2005]

12. Kerry and Wes Clark in 2004, HRC earlier this year.....nt

[durrrty libby]

4. I think Hillary is 20 points ahead of him in Florida, so I doubt he is

"going all the way" no matter how large the font

[Dawgs]

5. Somebody getting worried?

[durrrty libby]

7. Probably Obama, since he can't gain ground

[Nimrod2005]

15. I guarantee you he did last night!!! His visit was all over the local news, all of it VERY POSITIVE

Words like inspiring, fresh face, outsider, new era in Washington...etc.

[Dawgs]

6. I saw him in Atlanta earlier this year.

It was one of the best days I've had in awhile.

[sandnsea]

8. Me in 2 weeks!!!

He's going to be in Portland, we're ready to go!! I will be one of those screaming white ladies - but I'll kick anybody who calls me old. :P

I have to admit, he worries me sometimes, I hope he doesn't really think these Republicans are his "friends" - but I also don't think this country can survive the Limbaugh hatred for another 8 years. We need someone to expose it, not use it as fuel for their own campaigning.

14. Lucky.

I missed him when he was in Oakland.

:-(

17. "going all the way"? Was this the event at the strip club?

Was he there on Erotica night or Stripper night?

19. I was at another event, I wish I was at this club!

[LuckyLib]

18. I saw him as well in a large metro area, and he brought down the house.

Many more folks than expected, and it was everyone from high schoolers to seniors and everyone in between. Folks came from work in their professional clothes . . . he's electric.

20. Wow!

As Scarlett O'Hara would say, "Ah'm pea-green with envy!" :evilgrin:

If he wins, it's going to be so weird to go from having a president I hate with a purple passion to one I have a crush on. :loveya:
