When I started these I said I'd try to keep them going until Senator Obama was the "official" nominee of the Democratic party. Missed some days here and there but have tried to keep my word. If today or later this week Barack does become the "official" nominee I may take a couple months off from the daily videos diary but I think I'd like to possibly start it up again with a couple of months to go in the general election. Thanks for all the nice comments and tips. I've just tried to do my small part like tens of millions of others have in trying to do what we can to help put a competent and talented person in the White House. Today are a few of what I would call "all-star videos", at least for me, from and about the good Senator from Illinois.
Video #1: Four minutes of highlights from Senator Obama's 2004 Convention speech. I suppose like many people I believe this is the first time I had heard of Barack Obama.
Video #2: Presidential candidacy announcement highlights. Springfield, February 10, 2007. (5min)
Video #3: Yes We Can music video. I know, I know, we've all seen it so many times but I just think it was really fantastic that so many talented artists donated their time to put this together.
Video #4: Oh what a night! The Iowa victory speech. January 3rd, 14 minutes. I think perhaps this night more than any other was when myself, like I'm sure many others, really, really began to believe it could happen.
Video #5: Ted Kennedy endorsement January 28th at American University. I believe I heard Senator Kennedy's doctor say yesterday after the surgery that after about 24 hours had passed he would have a much better idea of how the surgery went. Let's hope for good news later today. (18min)
