Barack the vote!

Feb 2, BARACK RALLY, Minneapolis, MN - Target Center

I attended the Barack Obama rally with my fellow polictico buddies, Jill, Crow-bird, and Em. We waited 2.5 hours in the blustery MN winter with 22k other optomistic, curious and enthusiastic Minnesotans ready to feel hope again.

I was touched by the sheer number of Barack supporters, all just waiting to hear this message of "change" and "hope", which has been attacked as being "idealistic". When did we become so jaded as a country to think that idealistic individuals who dare to believe that present circumstances could be drastically different...are crazy or childish?

Lets not forget the reasons that this country was founded and that a great group of idealistic individuals fought for our freedom from the Brits. Our country was born of such ideals, and maybe its a time for a rebirth?

This year, I am simply excited. I look around and see people getting involved, talking about their thoughts, debating issues and the best way to solve the problems our country faces today. I see people caring, grass roots efforts all around me. So, no matter your views, continue to care, to read, listen - get involved.

Not sure where you stand? CNN Politics has a great tool (the best I've seen so far) to compare and contrast candidates and issues. Check it out, get excited!

At the Barack rally, even from so far away (see below), I got excited enough to jump out of my seat a couple times. Hearing a message for hope, peace and change...
