Great graphic, nicked from The Daily Kos. (Data from BigTenPoll.org.) Me likes. Me likes a LOT. I’m just smilin’…

In Washtenaw county, home of Ann Arbor, Michigan, one of the most active community leaders in Senator Obama’s Campaign for Change voted for John McCain in the Michigan primary. He soon became disenchanted by a man who seemed not to care how long our young men and women remain in Iraq and this life-long Republican jumped ship and began working […]

I admit it: I am unabashedly inspired by Barack Obama. I’m inspired by his speeches. I’m inspired by his written words. I’m inspired by the way he has and is running his campaign. And I’m inspired by his life story. Although I live in the liberal Ann Arbor area, I work in a VERY conservative town. Almost daily I listen […]

Ypsilanti? Yes, Ypsilanti. Bruce Springsteen in Ypsilanti, Michigan. It’s possible that only Barack Obama could make that possible. “Hello, Ypsilanti!” Springsteen shouted to the audience of around 11,000. “Glad to be here! I don’t know how to spell it, though.” Even so, the rock legend seemed very comfortable in this odd-named town that’s an eclectic blend of college students from […]

As Sarah Palin scans her morning coffee cup for words of inspiration and wisdom, one wonders if, in light of their campaign’s recent turn toward the Dark Side, this quote appeared to her: “In life you need either inspiration or desperation.”– Anthony Robbins And THIS is enough to make anyone desperate: Pollster data from 10/6/2008 This is Desperation’s Crocodile. At […]

Rich Lowry at the National Review is already spinning Obama’s victory over McCain. While I agree that the economic crisis has impacted McCain’s campaign harder, there’s a good reason for that: his party’s approach for the past eight years (and his actions in Congress) have done NOTHING to mitigate the financial meltdown we’re seeing. The fact that Obama has been […]

Back in 2006, during ethics reform debates in the Senate, Barack Obama sent John McCain a letter proposing a path forward, one that was not to John McCain’s liking. So John McCain sent him back what has to be the snarkiest, most sarcastic response I have ever read in what should be a professional communication. You can read both letters […]

Yesterday, Barack Obama appeared in East Lansing, Michigan, home of Michigan State University (my alma mater, 2 degrees and a daughter who goes there). There he spoke to a crowd of more than 18,000, mostly college students after having addressed a crowd of around 16,000 that morning in Grand Rapids. During his speech, he hit on a variety of topics […]

Yesterday, I posted still images from the Obama-Biden rally in Detroit this past Sunday. These images were taken and assembled by my wife, Mrs. E. As promised, below you will find two interactive panoramic images from that event. While still images capture the moment, in my opinion nothing captures the immensity of these events like full spherical panoramic images. The […]

Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden held a rally in Detroit yesterday, appearing with their wives in front of the Detroit Library. According to Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans, the event was attended by 28,000 with several thousand more waiting outside the gates. Below are photos taken by Mrs.E. In a day or so, I’ll post panoramic images she took […]

Today’s edition of “Who Said THAT??? features words of endorsement for Senator Obama for president: Barack Obama is our choice for president of the United States. He has demonstrated time and again he can think on his feet. More importantly, he has demonstrated he will think things through, seek advice and actually listen to it. Obama is a gifted speaker. […]
