Yahoo for polls from multiple sources!
Anyone have anything to say about the particular sources? Maybe I will select a few in the coming months and make some pretty graphs for y'all's viewing pleasure. ;)
Chicpolitique.com -- Get your own "Barack and Roll" t-shirt!
Unfortunately, proceeds do not go to the campaign. (Not that I am aware of, anyway.) These are awesome t-shirts, and as soon as I am not poor anymore, I will buy one. But I do also plan on purchasing official merch, and loads of it! And I encourage you guys to do so as well...
Every time I hear Obama give a speech, I am amazed by his ability to simultaneously come off as humble, empowered, optimistic and pissed-off. It would be easy to dismiss some of his talking points as rhetoric if you listen with cynical ears, but I can't help but feel something when he talks about hope and change. The Lincoln parallels are apparent, but also deep. You don't hear fiery speeches like Obama's in this day and age. There is an anachronistic quality to his choice of words; His phrases like someone bigger than life - a Lincoln, or King. This is a man who can command respect and inspire confidence.
