Obama Excitement Set on High

The countdown begins. Tomorrow is the day.

No matter who you have your heart set on for \’08, even if it\’s Al Gore, there\’s little doubt that Senator
Barack Obama is one of the most exciting candidates to come on to the political
stage since, well, Bill Clinton. Obama\’s personal story is nothing short of amazing. His
path to the U.S. Senate is as well.

Tomorrow is the real beginning for him and his campaign. Hopes reside in the
stratosphere.

Obama does not have the weight of the Iraq war.

This has been a very tough week for John Edwards.

Hillary Clinton has come out against General Casey, scapegoating the general for Iraq just like John McCain. That\’s not only a problem for me, it\’s wrong. Someone should tell her about the man who got away, General Tommy Franks, and has a medal to keep him warm. It\’s unfortunate that Casey has become the convenient shield for Senators Clinton and McCain, though there\’s something sympatico about it, now isn\’t there?

Not around here.

The excitement is real for Obama. But it takes more than talent to win your way to the White House. It takes a lot of money and rock hard toughness. It remains to be seen if Barack Obama has both of those, though it will be great fun watching him make a race of it.

Clinton will feel the pressure.

Edwards needs to get a grip and quickly.

But none of that matters, because this weekend belongs to Barack.
