1. It's a family affair!

Senator Obama's sister, Maya -->

Just like Edwards, Obama now has full support from his family members!!!

Campaigning HAS to be tough.. having close family members with you probably makes it easier on the psychi ~

~~ Way to go Maya! ~~

5. On another note

Anyone know why Obama's wife left her job? I thought she was going part time.

6. I think I saw something mentioned on the MSNBC crawl yesterday..

that she was going to help out on the campaign trail more, so she took some sort of leave from her job in order to do that.

9. Obama says he "lived much of his life as an only child"

despite having a half-sister. I've only read his second book, The Audacity of Hope where he says this on p. 338. It's my understanding he lived
with grandparents on the mainland during adolescence.

Any of you who've read his first book care to comment on the relationship
with his sister?
