Most politicians tend to be narcissists — it is all about me. At the convention, Obama said “this is not about me, it is about you.” He is saying the same thing today when he says he is not celebrating. He knows he has 48 days. His is organized (a benefit of being an organizer?), unlike his opponent whose campaign is in chaos because it is built on victory without substance. Honesty is adaptable to change, McCain is a bendable Gumby toy.</p> Obama is refreshing because he is the first politician that I can remember who really believes in his message.

Wouldn’t you like to have been at that party - would like to just sit back and watch. Obama does seem to hit the right notes - he’s a really good candidate.</p> Nice post, Lisa.
