A quick Obama recap

Do you think we did enough with Barack Obama's visit?

Update: And video.

Best story?

With NCAA tournament time upon us, the big question for Sen. Barack Obama was about basketball. Who won the basketball game he played in February against North Carolina's former Sen. John Edwards?

Obama's answer: Edwards.

"(H)e's got an interesting game. He doesn't have much range, but from about 14 to 16 feet, he does not miss. So when I took it outside, beyond the 3-point line, he couldn't go out there. But he hit like eight in a row from 14 to 16 (feet), and that midrange jumper was tough."

On to Clinton! (But we probably won't have a piece about her basketball game.)

Can the political metaphor possibly be accidental?

And this means Barack is as conciliatory as he claims. He's not afraid to admit that (some) white men CAN jump. ^_~

For the record, I am a white woman. Also, for the record, I wouldn't care if Barack were purple. The man has an enormous amount of dignity and he would make any (and all) Americans proud. We need a leader who can command respect for his decency and his intellect. We need a man like Mr. Obama to regain our reputation in the world.

Rock on, Barack!
