[Virginia Dare]

4. He's getting quite a collection of canes...

anybody know if there is an old African American tradition to this? I can only imagine how some of the old-timer African Americans in deep Jim Crow country must feel watching this unfold...:patriot:

6. I love Obama/Webb and it has nothing to do with his military experience.

He seems like a very decent man, he's very intelligent, and he seems to really mean his populist message. He doesn't come across as another phony politician.

They look really good together.

On edit: And he makes like McCain look like a wimp in comparison.
