you feel..I just got off the phone with my sister here in New York and I was telling her about Obama being endorsed by the Native American Times
http://www.nativetimes.com/index.asp?action=displayarticle&article_id=9295 and the people like Ted Kennedy and Caroline Schlossberg endorsing him so magnificently..I wasn't sure who she was for but she said she watched some of the early debates online and thought Obama was an intelligent man and she liked the way he stated his thoughts and she wanted to like hilary but she didn't. I'm over the Moon that she sees that in Obama we have someone who can lead, with our help, in making our country honorable instead of something to fear and ridicule.
I love your evolution story about your neighbor..it sounds like it was really illuminating to be able to see Obama speak in the flesh.
