Made it to Myrtle Beach last night to see Barack at Broadway Louie's! I got to shake his hand (twice) and more importantly, heard him speak live. I can only tell you, if you love to hear him speak on TV, you will flip when you are in the room with him. A great evening and well done Ashley. The video is about 1.5 minutes and a collection of video and stills from the evening. If anyone wants photos or a copy of the video, please drop me a message. Enjoy.

This is inspiring!
Folks, It does not matter what the Clintons did! They are exactly what Barack and Michelle are not. We are running a clean campaign and the only way we win is to keep it that way. The very moment we crawl in the slime with them we are finished. They own the slime and everything they do is an effort to drag us into their strength.
We are 3 states in and we don't have any of the established "beltway" support. You can bet the republican dirty tricksters are doing everything they can to quietly ensure they face the Clintons in November with our votes angry and divided. And with all that against us including every major corporate entity in the country, we are neck and neck. It is our money and our power against all of theirs. We are fighting the establishment and are dead even with them.
Do you wonder why every network spins every event as a Hillary win? Who buys network advertising? Hillary won the last debate? Are you kidding me? I watched it and it wasn't close. It was intuitively obvious to the most casual observer who won. It becomes more clear every day who is running a straight and honest campaign based on substance and merit versus a campaign based on dirty tricks, whining and outright lies.
Maybe half of Hillary’s supporters are those entangled in her web of graft. That leaves about half as “school fish,” supporting who they are told will win and easily swayed by negative tactics. Every time they see us with our heads up and feeling strong, it scares the hell out of them because the worst thing for them is to be on the wrong side. What they will not like is finding out they are being duped. Help them see the difference and they WILL start falling in line. The press will turn to maintain some shred of integrity. Write and call your representatives. Be careful how you speak to everyone. Measure your words and attitude carefully. Nobody in America responds as well to threats and curses. But everyone will respond to a tsunami of unrelenting reason. That is what bringing America together is all about. That IS the change of which we speak; no anger, no rash emotional outbursts. Look at our candidate. That is who he is. Be the change my brothers and sisters.
Yes, the last post about Bill was a joke! Funny how close it seems to possible. It was a joke, but this is not ------------>
The Clinton Legacy (warning Republican fodder)
http://prorev.com/legacy.htm
This just in .. Former President Bill Clinton today, in a usual show of emotion, smacked a weather reporter in the face today when she told the ex-president that there is a possibility of snow in South Carolina next Saturday. Clinton appered to lose it for a moment then snapped back into spin mode claiming, "Snow is going to make the election unfair because older people have a more difficult time on slick roads and trust me, I know slick."
The former president also alledgedly said, "This confirms my suspicion that the vast right wing conspiracy now includes that Obama kid and Mother Nature, who everybody knows is really Ann Coulter. They are all trying to supress Hillary's votes. C'mon guys, you have no idea how miserable my life is going to be if Hillary loses this thing." Before he could finish his statement, Mr. Clinton was gagged and carried away by what appeared to be two Arkansas State Troopers.

This is a letter I have sent to my address book (even republicans:)) I attached Barak's "Blueprint for Change" to the letter. My hope is that the ideas will become more important than the wedge issues for even one undecided or unsure voter. Every penny counts! A similar letter to everyone on your list can't hurt!

I have heard it said so many times during these primaries that Barack Obama is all speech and no substance. This is in fact a myth.

RE: "Spadework" and other Clinton morsels ...
I hope we are careful here to not label the Clintons as "racists." (and I am not suggesting your post does that) However, in the face of losing the African-American vote, there is no way they will ignore the redneck vote out there who will hear small and subtle racial flirtations how they want to hear them. (Butthead, "Huh Huh, she thed spade.")
The Clintons are race baiting by lightly salting the media with defensibly innocent tidbits which can possibly be interpreted to be racist. They serve their purpose in two ways.
1) They appeal to ignorant people that wouldn’t vote for Obama if they witnessed him walking on water.
2) They might possibly ignite the passions of Obama supporters, prompting more media coverage where eventually, Hillary will get another softball, “why aren’t you likable” question ie … “Hillary, are you making disparaging racial comments?” To which she can reply, “Puh-leeeze, Barack is playing the race card!”
The first one can’t be changed except by education and natural attrition. The second one is up to us. This race is not about “race.” Don’t let the Clinton’s cloud reality with Bushesque fear tactics.
I have never donated to a political candidate until this election for two reasons. One, I don't have money to waste on something that will make no difference in my life. Two, in my 33 years of "voting age," nearly every election has been a vote against the worst of two bad choices. For me, all that changes with Barack Obama.
