Obama Nation

Holy shit! It's Woodstock revisited in Portland, Oregon, yesterday. Obama is speaking to roughly 75,000 people (according to the police, not the campaign). Thought this was a great display of where the country is going these days. Wonder if my brother and sister-in-law went? Somehow I doubt it.

By the way, Bob and Tara, happy anniversary! And happy birthday tomorrow, Tara! May you have many happy returns of both occasions.

75,000?

Wow.

This whole Superdelegate thing makes my head hurt Becks.

Hey! Thanks for all the info, it was cool to see such an amazing turnout in Portland! I was browsing through a bunch of political websites and blogs (mostly liberal ones) and I came across your blog and find it to be very interesting. There are a bunch of others I like too, like huff post, and other news sites like politico. Do you know of any that cover politics and the environment? I saw earthlab.com which has mostly environmental info but some politics. I took EarthLab.com’s carbon calculator (http://www.earthlab.com/signupprofile/). I was pretty easy to use (and it doesn’t make me feel guilty after I take it). Are there any other blogs you would recommend? Can you drop me a link to your favorites or any ones with green info?

Thanks, we where out of town but would not have gone anyways since it was so crowded. But he did get our votes. We in Oregon are lucky enough to be able to vote-by-mail so we got our votes in before heading south of the border.

Thanks the the anniversary and birthday well wishes as well!!!
