Wheezywaiter - Chicago Obama Rally

That's a little presumptuous... I mean I think 2008 was a sure win for Obama. This rally was the height of the post-racial hope for Obama. I think most of these people voted for Clinton, honestly. Probably people here drifted into a broader idea what post-racial coalition was, but not the most. Of course, this was when Virginia was an genuine win, rather than a bank. A defining moment.

Wheezywaiter - Silent Senate

Obama 2008 was such a fun campaign. We're riding on the debris of Bush and seeing results we haven't seen before. Will the Obama coalition come around again? Also, I like that Obama developed his foreign policy in his tenure, because DDSS was really refreshing in the end.
