Oh Keith... you so crazy.
So I made my decision and voted today. If anyone else happens to live in a Super Tuesday state, GO OUT AND VOTE TODAY!
Harry Knowles from Ain't It Cool News wrote a beautiful piece on Barack:
Why do I like Obama?
It's pretty simple. My entire voting life - since 1989 - I haven't had a candidate that I looked at and actually believed in. That managed to make me dream like the characters in a Frank Capra film. What I loved about Capra's films - specifically MEET JOHN DOE - was the Populist message... to go next door to your neighbor, no matter his politics and invite him over for BBQ - to chat, to break bread - then to do something that improves both your lives. I love and dream of a candidate to inspire my apathetic political friends to care. A candidate that not only inspires those I love - but that cause people in other countries to possibly believe in the dream of America again.
A leader that inspires you to do more than you have and believe that Government could care. Bill called Obama a fairy tale, but you know what... if this country isn't founded on Fairy Tales - I don't know what it is founded on. A dream that people from all over the world came here to believe they can forge a better way, than how it was from wherever they came from. It's a fairy tale to get married, to buy a house, to raise a family. And Obama is a fairy tale that I believe will work out. I like his talk, his attitude and his charisma. After years of partisan politics getting next to nothing done on both sides - I'd like to believe that we've found a candidate that is dedicated to a better way.
