Tell me I did not hear this right
Just turned to CSPAN, they were replaying Hillary's rally in LA from earlier today. The first thing I heard was the crowd shouting "yes, we can". Did anybody else hear this or did my ears mislead me?

1. Her supporters have been singing it here lately.
Something about 'hearing it for the lady...yes we can...yes she can,' or something like it. She's a copycat, just like bush. He stole his slogans and themes from everyone else when he was campaigning.

2. yup, but I think they were saying
"yes, SHE can". Not good style points, IMHO. Will be interesting to compare the feel of that rally with broadcast of Obama St. Louis rally later this evening ( 9:30 pm ET (6:30 PT))

3. In 04, towards the end, we were saying, "¡Sí, podemos! " on the blog, meaning
Yes, we can! It started when JK and JRE were on the train ride going through N.M., I believe.

I am glad that Obama is using "Yes, we can" as a slogan because it continues the acceptance of tolerance and integration that Kerry began.

4. She got farm workers endorsement.
So she thinks she gets bragging rights for their slogan. I will be so upset that the establishment backed her, when the movement is just beginning.
