    Barack Obama gave a great speech at the Jefferson Jackson Dinner yesterday in Iowa. In it, he gracefully snipes at his competitors without ever naming them, and gets the crowd riled up. I hope we see more of this Barack, because this one's a contender, and much more inspiring, personable, and conscience-driven than Hillary Clinton.

      With 1 year to go to elections, I guess it's time to start paying attention. I hate that this election cycle go pushed to far forward - I was resisting until now. Barack and Hillary both seem good choices now - though I like Hillary's experience much better than Barack.

      I really thought that the experience of Hillary would be a boon too but I think she's a much easier target for Guiliani to skewer. Her voting record is calculated and uninspirational. Barack has more political experience than people give him credit for and he really is the only strong Democratic candidate who can say he spoke against our unnecessary war. That stands for a lot, IMO. I, for one, would like some intelligence and charisma in the White House. I think Hillary has the first but lacks the second.

      hey guys
      So it is true!! Barack is coming back in seattle for 3 evtns in seattle in one evening. A cocktail hour, a hosted dinner, and then the generation event at the showbox. I am personally going to be a hot for the gernation X event but let me know if you need a ticket to any of the events.
