Paraphrasing Andy from The Office (when he was wooing Angela): Take a chance on Obama.
I can’t pretend to know who Senator Obama is, on the inside. But I’m choosing to gamble on the prospect of excellence and integrity in the Oval Office rather than the business-as-usual alternatives. Chances like these don’t come around very often.
After hearing that he was behind slightly in Texas and Ohio, I decided to donate to his campaign. Sure, maybe I didn’t need to. Maybe it won’t make a difference. But maybe it will. And that was enough for me, given my decade-plus of sitting on the fence.
Because most states gave nominating delegates to both Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama based on vote proportions, as opposed to winner take all, the two campaigns were predicting on Tuesday that neither candidate would have a blowout lead, setting up an intensifying race as Louisiana, Washington, Virginia, Ohio and Texas hold nominating contests over the next four weeks.
This makes me pretty excited to be a registered voter in Texas. Bring on the primary!
First, questions about New England’s contempt for sportsmanship. The game when Belichick kept his starters on the field in the fourth quarter and had Tom Brady frantically throwing deep late to humiliate mild-mannered Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs by a final of 52-7 was one of the low moments in NFL history. It would have been repugnant if such terrible sportsmanship had been rewarded with a crown.
Great article on the Superbowl. I told Carrie, I was jumping up and down like a five year-old during the 2nd half of the game. I think the people who I was watching the game with thought I was going to explode or pass out.
