Tonight, Barack Obama looked more Presidential than he has at any time.
Did you happen to see the two African-American young guys behind Obama to the camera's right? The two who people would have assumed would have been at the club or something on a Saturday night?
Instead, they're celebrating a political win for a candidate they believe in?
Whoa.
Obama is bringing together an impressive coalition. And he absolutely destroyed Hillary (AND BILL) Clinton in his speech, never had to name a name, and the crowd was going crazy.
I was born after JFK, was in diapers the year we lost MLK and RFK. I remember the hope and coalition Reagan presented in 1980.
If the Democratic Party doesn't nominate this guy, they'll risk losing the White House for another 20 to 40 years.
My commentary on that, next time.

I usually don't get this personal.......
....but I'm glad to announce that wifey is in bed with me tonight!!
You don't understand. And NO it's not about THAT (at least, not this time anyway)...
I can't sleep when wifey's not here. I don't mean those nights she tanks on the recliner watching whatever.....I mean those nights when she's not here because of, well, the fact that she's not within the vinyl siding around this abode.
On the cruise in '06, all three of us hated it. Last July when the girls were in Vegas canvassing for delegates (heh?), Robbie and I did much better, but I still don't sleep as well (not that "Apnea Man" sleeps very well to begin with).....
....but it's worse when she's at the Gall Bladder Hotel. So, it's nice to have her back.
Although this means I lose control of the television again. :)

Quick political note: give John McCain big kudos for his speech tonight in South Carolina after winning the state's Republican primary. I'll try to find it on video or at least a transcript and try to post it tomorrow.
Oh, and I LOVED the story on CNN where one caucus group for the Democrats in Nevada in Vegas finished tied, so they pulled out a deck of cards to break the tie and assign the delegates!!
The Obama card-picker got a 10 of something.
The Clinton card-picker got a queen (maybe of hearts).
I'm sorry, but that just sounds so American. That was cool!!
P.S.---Apparently there were two other ties around the state and Obama won the card draws there.....
