I was at the Obama Hartford rally last night at the Civic Center and even though I was an Obama supporter before the rally, I feel even more strongly about him now: He's inspirational and I'm excited by his candidacy.
I marched on Washington with MLK, got arrested protesting the Vietnam war, and have been involved in politics all my life but I've not seen anything like this before, Obama not only has the right ideas (for me) but he's inspirational.
There were huge numbers of young people in the crowd last night, many voting for the first time today. He pulled them out like no one else could.
My 92 year old mother, who lives in Los Angeles and has been an avid Bill and Hillary Clinton supporter for years was pro Obama before I was. She'll hit you with her cane if you get in her face about Obama.
No matter what happens today or in the next months, Obama has pulled more people into the process than have ever been in it before. His candidacy is historic and makes me very proud.
Don't you think that both Bill and Hillary Clinton would be solidly behind Obama if Hillary weren't running? It sure looks like that to me.
