1. It's so heartening to see all those young people lining up...
Haven't seen anything like it since the early 70s ~ YES, WE CAN!!!

2. Can WHAT, dear?
Yes, the ability to chant a mindless slogan is the most impressive thing ever. And look at how many people you can get to do it.

The slogans of the 70s had a point: peace, not war. "YES, WE CAN!" Not so much.

5. Lighten up...and don't ask pointless questions when you really aren't interested in finding answers.
Bitterness never got anybody anywhere.

4. Here's you're Gawd Dang Army Democrats! Wake Up!
Send Hillary Packing and on to the General to Smoke McCain!!!!! The Republicans yearn for the politics of 25 years ago, the seasoned dem Clinton people, yearn for the 90's again and the people of Hope have turned into Washington insider POLITICAL GAMEPLAYERS. AND WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD and STOP LIVING IN THE PAST!

7. I was there.

I have never seen a more diverse crowd. Granted, I am only 28, but it was quite refreshing to see such a crowd in a city like Seattle. And refreshing certainly isn't a word I use often when it comes to politics. :-)

13. He said the magic word-
"Idealistic". :-)

Idealism is a dying art. Time to revive it.

9. When will the Democrats wake up?
How stupid can we be to nominate Hillary Clinton -- who like it or not is the most hated and polarizing figure since Nixon?

11. You have to love it when he talks about the constitution. It's the constitution or bust...
Edited on Sun Feb-10-08 12:24 AM by cooolandrew
...The fact that he has taught about the founding document shows he know it's historical relevance and when abided by shines the beacon to the world of ethical behaviour.

Go Barack Obama.. can we fix it, yes we can.

12. I wanted to attend.
I was going to take my five year old daughter. We figured that if we got there at 11 we'd be fine. Then, at 10:15 we heard on the radio that Key Arena was ALREADY at capacity, more than two hours before Obama was scheduled to speak. I'd bet they turned away another 20,000 people. They had the whole end of town closed off to turn people back. They were sending out radio alerts to keep the crowds from swelling. 3000 people listened on big speakers outside in the freezing cold. Amazing,
