Craziness in Iowa last night.

I was gonna vote for Kucinich policy-wise, but I kinda figured Hillary would sweep the primaries so it was gonna be an anti-vote. Now...I'm not so sure. Barack Obama feels like a movement, at least a moment of hope, a display of sincerity similar to 9-11 that the nation and perhaps the whole world is ready for.

Fuck it, go Obama! If you told me when W. was first elected that the next likely president would be black (1/2 black, c'mon, that's significant too) I'd laugh. America, I never thought you had it in you. Imagine what it would show the world, symbolically, if we were to elect this fella. We'd say, Americans are not George Bush, we are not beholden to anyone race creed or religion. (The way I thought it was growing up). Maybe we are finally leaving this dark age, the latent sincerity, almost mauled after 9-11, completely abused and disenfranchised, is rising again, maybe it's unstoppable now...

What is this guy's main message? Unity, humanity, the bond between us all...completely anti-pomo and totally newsie ("Philosophical for those who copy" - Inspectah Deck)

Please please please please vote this guy into office!

Shalom!
