I just got back from seeing Barack.......and all I can say is wowser. He's more impressive in person than on the tube. He's got the magic. The audience went nuts when he came into the auditorium.......he got more applause than Cantrell. I am more impressed with Cantwell too....she's more down to earth than I had thought.

Listening to Obama I couldn't help thinking that he was the perfect person to lead this country......the quintessential American.....a mixture of black, white and foreign.

While listening to him, I thought more about a third party......trying to figure out why the concept doesn't rock my boat at the present time......and let me just say that I have always been a proponent of third parties. And then it dawned on me what my problem with a third party is. As it works in this country, a third party is intended to promote issues that are not covered by the main parties. Certainly, its true at the present time there are issues going uncovered by the main parties. But we have a bigger problem.......we have a system of governance that has stop functioning properly.......who's goal is not to meet the needs of its people but to satisfy the goals of an ideology.

I don't see how a third party can change that. They would not have the clout. It would take years before they could mount a serious offense........and I don't think we have years. I really think its up to one of the main parties to make the difference. And the most likely candidate for that job is the Dems because I don't see the GOP having the backbone or the integrity to do the housecleaning that is needed in that party.

And let me repeat, Barack has the magic. The Dems could do much worse than run him for president. And in two years, I think he will have enough experience to run the country.

OBAMA for PRESIDENT!
