Obamarama
It seems like a long time ago now, but I watched Barack Obama's announcement speech yesterday and was pretty excited. Given my overall view of the 2008 race--that it will boil down to Hillary vs. Not-Hillary, and that it's vital for the Democrats, and for the country, that Not-Hillary prevail--I think Obama fits the bill better than any other candidate out there. I set all this out in a diary at Daily Kos yesterday, my first since I decided to go to war against asshead lefty commissar David Sirota a few months ago; you can read the whole thing here.
