This inspires me...
First of all, I'm very glad to read your endorsement, I think you make a compelling case for your candidate. I've always thought fondly of Chris Dodd. A friend of mine supports him soley because of his Peace Corps experience. I think because I chose Obama so early (a decision I still feel very passionate about), I have not looked too closely at the other candidates biographies, other than what I've read here or heard on The Exchange , or what I already know from being a political junkie. So, I really appreciate your timeline--- and wow, taking us back to Iran-Contra, I think I was in junior high then (?), makes you realize how far back this all goes.
Another candidate that I knew a lot about before this whole process started was Bill Richardson. After he became Governor in New Mexico, I remember telling people to keep their eye on him, that he would make a great president some day. I attended a focus group in the summer where they presented all of the Richardson campaign flyers, etc... and we talked about our reactions, etc... I left there feeling like maybe I chose too soon, that I should give BR another look. When I did, I just couldn't wrap my arms around the idea of him as President.
So, while the analysis might point to theories of change; I don't think we'd be talking so much about change if Barack Obama hadn't made it the central theme of his campaign.

Waking up on November 5th with no regrets.
