4. CNN has video of Obama in his jeans. This is a big deal or something.

It cracks me up though listening to the reporters trying to get the secret service to get out of the way so they can get a better shot of Obama in his jeans. LOL

11. Did you see the Video?

I want more!

[flpoljunkie]

13. Not yet. Wolf just said that Obama will speak about his mother in an upcoming segment.

It was sweet and thoughtful, but certainly not as "emotional" as Wolf described. No doubt, a bit of hype here on Wolf's part. Senator Obama also spoke about the other "mother" in his life, his wife Michelle, and all that she has done in the campaign while being there for their two daughters.

10. it has to be weird going back to the senate after campaigning...

It's kinda like when you visit the college you're going to attend while still in High School, and then you get back to your H.S. with 3 months left until graduation and you just feel out of place.

Can't wait until January when that hall will be full of Democrats and that Man will be in the White House.
