if a democrat/progessive could watch last night and not be inspired...get a little tight in the chest or a little misty-eyed...then something is missing from their soul. it was an amazing, inspiring speech and what America needs now, more than anything I think, is to be inspired

He said it best in He Shall From Time to Time:

"I was watching a television program before, with a kind of roving moderator who spoke to a seated panel of young women who were having some sort of problem with their boyfriends - apparently, because the boyfriends had all slept with the girlfriends' mothers. And they brought the boyfriends out, and they fought, right there on television. Toby, tell me: these people don't vote, do they?"

i felt tight in the chest during hillary. seriously, i don't get the obama appeal. at all. i've tried. take away my voting rights.

You can still vote (for other things, like local elections and such). I'm still going to vote in November, I'm just not sure I can bring myself to vote for a presidential candidate.

Obama makes me nauseated.

I didn't hear last night's speech but I did hear a speech he made some time ago; I can't remember if it was about race or what but it was really stirring. The man knows how to give a well turned speech. I'm not an enthusiastic supporter but he will get my vote because he's the only viable option.

Yes we can.

I mean, okay, I would have preferred Hillary, but, that's okay. Her time isn't over. Obama's an inspiring person, and at this point, I think that the American voting populace is so hungry for vision, for hope...well, you're right is what I mean. We need that. Hell, *I* need that. It's like that (who else) Sorkin quote about drinking the sand.

I also want to beat the people who are insisting that there's a significant number of, shall we say, old school FDR style Dems who won't vote for a black man. I say, fuck them, I don't want them in my party, and I *don't* want their racist votes, and the GOP should be ashamed (they won't be, but they should) if their guy wins because he's whiter.

(It's a long ass time till November, isn't it. Gaah.)
