60. I've said if we elect Obama I will never hate this country again
Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 11:51 PM by BeyondGeography
and I might even love it unconditionally. I have had my moments of total estrangement with this place; I've spent a total of seven years abroad (Hong Kong and France), am married to a European and have spent much of the BushCo years marking my time to when I could leave again forever.

But where else could a longshot like Obama make his way to the middle of the struggle for the world's most powerful job? I was just in England and they are completely captivated by the goatherd's son. The Obama blog draws people from around the world...that's the dimension of this race that is mostly unseen; its potential global impact. He's humble and fair-minded, and the world is picking up on it, because that's what they want us to be, too.
