Reply #7: August 2004, Democratic National Convention,when I heard that speech.

I emailed my husband that night and told him I had just seen the first African American President of the United States and the only thing standing between him and the White House would be his own decision to ultimatly not seek the office.

Now I was not thinking he would run this cycle, but I was ready to support him down the road. I began as an Edwards supporter since Gore stayed out ...but after Edwards dropped down, I was pretty much committed to Obama for our primary .
edited to add: at election time I will be a 60 year old Southern White Woman
