Is A Change Gonna Come?

I may have proved myself wrong.

I believed that Republicans, in an open primary, would vote for Clinton to make their chances better against a candidate like McCain. After looking at the exit polls, I feel some Republicans, Obamacans if you will, are voting for Obama because they actually believe in him.

Is a change gonna come, as Sam Cooke once immortally sang? Perhaps…this is yet to see. Is Obama a surprising candidate to consultants around America? It’s a resounding Hell Yea. He’s breaking every mold and every traditional breakdown.

The Obama campaign is groundbreaking, and we are, perhaps, all witnesses to change in our lifetime. It’s more than JFK and RFK and MLK combined. It’s a 21st century FDR with Kennedy charisma and King conviction. It’s the new new deal…perhaps the actual Real Deal.

It’s an exciting time to be an American…I hope y’all share my feelings.

Nicely stated. It is true that voters are rallying behind Sen. Obama. I think it is because he gives them a voice and a way to see themselves actually being important to the whole political process.

I’m willing to put my cynicism aside for this man. I think that says it all. He’s the kind of guy we need to apologize to the world, and he can’t possibly fuck it up worse than it already is, it’s the perfect time.

Ooo-rah. Give me a little button and I’m down. I haven’t been able to get excited about a candidate for a while, and Obama just strikes me as a great figure for a president. I heart Huckabee.
