Obama rocks Portland


Just got back from the Barack Obama rally downtown. Didn't have anyone to go with, so I went alone, and stood amongst my fellow Americans, feeling not very alone at all.

I've now listened to him speak twice in person in the past few months. I didn't need any more persuading to vote for Obama, but it still gives me chills to be in the presence of such a moving candidate. When he's President, I can say "I was there when...."

Bill Richardson spoke with Barack, lending his full support to the campaign, and it was apparent that we were looking at the Democratic presidential ticket for 2008. Pretty cool. Here's a picture of the two of them today.
