Super Tuesday is tomorrow. So of course can't be uninvolved. Still so divided though on who I prefer. Really I would just be so thrilled for democractic president and am increasingly concerned that McCain will beat either Hillary or Obama.
Anyways, a friend of mine was able to go see Oprah, Maria, Michelle, and Caroline yesterday at UCLA. It sounded amazing! The New York times columnist who attended the event stated that "Four extraordinary women put on the best campaign rally I’ve seen in 20 years of covering presidential politics." Here's a link to that article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/04/opinion/04mon4.html?th&emc=th)
We need some political energy and excitement in this country after so many years of...crap.
But, wow another column also in today's NYT really puts some fire under what Hillary is doing. See: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/04/opinion/04krugman.html?th&emc=th for Krugman's column on health insurance. He reports on economic analyses that show that Hillary's health care plan is really much better than Obama's. Incase you don't have time to read the link, what it boils down to is the final sentence:
"If you combine the economic analysis with these political realities, here’s what I think it says: If Mrs. Clinton gets the Democratic nomination, there is some chance — nobody knows how big — that we’ll get universal health care in the next administration. If Mr. Obama gets the nomination, it just won’t happen."

I just read both articles... Thanks for posting, my dear. Have you seen the video they discuss in the Obama rally article? it's cool and ben linked to it from his blog--check it out. The 2nd article made a really compelling point. Alas, I have made up my mind. I am just praying that all goes well in the coming months and that we can end up with a democrat in the house!
