I'm an Obamamaniac, and proud of it. I love the man. I'm voting for him, asking all my friends to vote for him, asking all my enemies to vote for him, and would gladly give him my left kidney if he asked. He is, in my humble opinion, the best thing to happen to American politics since Lincoln. He's humble, honest, worldly, charismatic, and pure (as opposed to the corruption that has plagued our government since forever). He's in it for us, not himself, not for a legacy or power, but for the American people. But I was definitely worried about his chances at becoming president a few weeks ago.
It seemed like he was a shoo-in until Reverend Wright (see below) and his 'elitism' comment happened.
Hillary Clinton, who I dislike greatly (bitch be way too muh-fuckkin' partisan, ya dig?) took advantage of those two unfortunate events, and I can't blame her. I was a little disappointed in Barack for a moment because it seemed like he'd started pandering for votes. While I understand that, sometimes, that's what you've got to do, I still can't say I approve. Obama needs to stay true to himself, his values, and most importantly, his message. But Clinton made a comeback with her Pennsylvania win, and I just about cried.
That's why, when I logged on to yahoo.com today, I was ecstatic to read: Obama Passes Clinton in Superdelegates.
The article talks about how, despite Clinton's comeback in the Pennslyvania primary and her totally unfair lead in superdelegate endorsements at the start of the campaign trail, Obama is straight up beasting on picking up endorsements of his own. He's currently got more than she does:
In the overall race for the nomination, Obama has 1,863.5 delegates and Clinton has 1,697, according to the latest AP tally. Obama is just 161.5 delegates shy of the 2,025 needed to secure the Democratic nomination.

I'm excited about the elections once again, and I'm rooting for Obama all the way. He's it. He's the chosen one, man. I honestly believe that he can get us out of the Iraq situation, he can help our economy, he can improve our national image, and he can restore the American people's faith in the American government.
And that's saying something.
