Oakland: March 2007
Arrived late. Parked illegally. Streets empty. Still. Only this magnificent voice, winding around the corners, echoing upside the skyscrapers. Goosebumps. This is History. I am a part of history. And everybody else knows it, too

thoughts on Foreign Policy speech

The first strike in Obama's campaign to rule the emerging scape of 21st century America came in the Senator's last Foreign Policy address, when he discussed the role of the US in Pakistan. The timing, which initially was played by MSM and other candidates, was clearly highly strategic. He won that one. As he won the debate over not using nuclear weapons.

It was obvious this weekend in SF that Obama was about to roll out of cruise control and slide by the pack. The entire weekend was overdrive, exhilerating. When Kos posted last Fri or Sat that Clinton had beat Obama to the punch on commening on the upcoming Petraeus appearances, I wrote not so fast. This candidate and the campaign are on top of this big time.
