So excited to see momentum building around Barack Obama's campaign and support! I am so excited that he always uses the word "We" when talking about his successes! These successes really are part of a MOVEMENT and it is exciting to be a part of it. We post-60s born youth and adults want to be a part of a positive legacy for our children and future generations and we feel empowered to make a positive impact for the first time in a long time by the Obama MOVEMENT!

I haven't heard the spin yet. It will surely be any combination of the following:
1. Iowa - "it's a fluke"
2. South Carolina - "it's the black voters"
3. Nebraska - caususes but they aren't democratic"
4. Washington state- "they're just a bunch of latte drinking elitists, not real democrats"
5. Alaska, Colorado, Missouri, North Dakota, Alabama, ... - "Who cares about those states? Only California, New York and Massachusetts count. We won there!"
For Maryland, DC, and Virginia it should be a combination of 2, 4, only Texas and Ohio matter and will win there, and some new spin. STAY TUNED! HERE COMES THE SPIN MACHINE
