year. I win! Sure, in my own mind, but it's so nice to be not alone anymore; even my 80-year old dad is voting for Obama!!!

Think about the mountains he's crossed, and the molehills he's ignored. What a candidate and a campaign!


YES, we are rocking and rolling!

1. Hey, shove over, sistah!
I saw him FIRST!




Seriously ... it's a GREAT feeling, isn't it? I never thought I'd say this after the past disastrous eight years, but: Watching Obama makes me think this is a GREAT time to be alive.

5. I'm so glad you got on board, Nance! I know
it took you awhile, but this man sold me and I've gotten a lot of flack for that.
It's nice to be on the good side, and I have really good vibes with this man. I hope!

7. Been an Obama Girl since the beginning ...
... but didn't "out" myself on DU for a while - "above the fray" and all that nonsense.

But then I just couldn't hold it in any longer, once the Primary Wars started happening. Still wearing the "Obamaniac" tag with pride, though!

It's kinda like JeffR - when it comes to exceptional men, I KNOW how to pick 'em!!!*












* We will all SIMPLY FORGET the fact that I didn't ALWAYS know how to pick 'em - being as I have the ex-husbands to prove it.

2. Yeah, I know what you mean. And I'm happy to have convinced my husband
to vote Obama as well. He's a moderate Independent who didn't vote in 2004. (He thought Kerry sucked as much as Bush and didn't see the point in voting. He came to regret that decision in a big way.) We're winning them over ... slowly but steadily!

3. Admittedly, I started off as a Biden supporter...

...but after Iowa (and Joe's exit), I've been an Obama supporter and haven't looked back.:hi:

6. Cooley! I was a Kucinich supporter, then got real. I knew who
I was for vs. against, and the Dem primary was brutal. But I'm a happy camper. They got nuthin' on Obama, and he is so damned smart. I have high hopes! :hi:
