politics

I didn't get a chance to watch it live, but watched Clinton's concession speech online this morning. I must say, I was blown away. For the first time I understood why her supporters are so into her. She said everything that needed to be said with tremendous eloquence and class. Brava.

I've been thinking that pretty soon I need to stop reading DailyKos. It's such an echo chamber that I think it can lead to distorted perceptions of what's actually going on, and as the election gets closer that can be bad for my state of mind. So what political websites do y'all read?

After reading this post I went to the Obama member site and signed up to find out about local volunteer opportunities. They have an event this coming Saturday to do voter registration. I'm thinking about going if the heat breaks. Anyone interested?

I forgot to mention, on Friday we went out with some friends to Taqueria Lopez which was showing the news on Univision. At one point the announcer said "la campaña de Obama" and in unison, all our heads snapped around towards the tv. Even though none of us speak Spanish so we had no idea what he was saying. It was a funny moment.
