Change Incident: isn’t it amazing

I would never have gotten to this diary post w/out Brian; so thank or blame him. Same goes for Beth for head’s up on this perfect site.
Of course, neither are responsible for what appears here.
(In support of transparency in politics: I am the authorized point person for the CA Obama Campaign in the 45th CD.)
Today, as I have for the past eight months or so, I start my day on the commuter. I try not to look at who is saying what, why and where. I want to first see what I have to say. Recently, a  funny thing has begun to happen almost daily. As I begin my  hunt and peck method of typing, I am surprised by where my trembling right hand (due to Parkinson’s) actually I only type with the third finger on the right hand and second finger on the left are taking me.
Today is a perfect example. I started “Change is in the air…” (see actual post below); after posting I decided to see what this guy at the Wash Post (Cris something) was up to because it had been awhile (3 wks or so) since I ha d visited his blog. Of course, he was going on about the Obama spot that was being rolled out today; of course titled “Change that you can believe in”. Just a coincidence, right?
Then an email from my sister in Carson City working on the caucus thing but for Dennis and she was gushing (which she nevers does) about the new Obama ad in Iowa; she had never seen anything so powerful and how it needed to go nationwide. Just a coincidence, right?
Stay tuned.
Here are a couple of items.
First I did this post,

Change that we can believe in

The Barack Obama Campaign today rolled out it’s latest TV spot. Titled, Change that we can believe in, the spot has Barack, alone, talking directly to one camera. No quick cuts, no frills, and no gimmicks. The message is clean and straight forward; no double speak; no parsing. Pure Obama on change that we can believe in. Go to www.BarackObama.com if you would like to have your spirits lifted; mine sure were.

Change is definitely in the air

And, I am not talking about the weather. No surprise here; I’m talking area politics. The “reds” are on the run and the “blues” are strutting their stuff. Some “reds” are thinking about sailing off the Florida Keys, while others are taking to wearing “blue jeans and blue baseball hats”.
The “strutters” on the other hand are in full throttle “look at me” mode.
Don’t you just love it!
And, I’m thinking, Isn’t it amazing
