...even while I am wholeheartedly caught up in Obamania, I nonetheless can’t help but think back to this fall, which I spent in Ashtabula County, Ohio, campaigning for Obama. I was a field organizer in the mostly rural townships in the southern part of the county where I spent my days knocking on the doors and calling the homes of undecided voters.

...Obamania. If you can't get to D.C. this month to celebrate the incoming Administration, immerse yourself in all things Obama in his hometown.

"America becomes a more attractive place simply because of the prospect of a new government." He's hoping students will agree...
...automatically pledge our votes to Obama and instead make judgments based on things besides skin color - like, heaven forbid, issues. Joe Biden may have misspoken - and in the process probably destroyed any remote hopes of winning the nomination - but he spoke truthfully for a lot of his ilk; Obamania is rooted in the belief that 50 Cent, not Barack Obama, represents the real black America...
