Slog - Comments on My Friday Obama'thon, in Photos http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/my_friday_obamathon_in_photos From his appearance at the McKinstry Company in South Seattle... ...to the 18,000-strong army at the Seattle Center, people young and old were pumped. Obama's a rock star. Or a tabloid celeb. I don't think I've seen anything quite like it. More photos after the jump....

Beyond the man himself--and, purr, what a lead photo here Ms. Harrop!--what struck down deep for this shopworn Dem was a whole bunch of people credibly displaying wholehearted optimism. Though I don't share their faith yet, I'll stand with them and caucus for Obama tomorrow.

I can see that the world needs a US president who gets young people pumped because he is like a rock star.

Yes. Womyn who vote for Obama are surrending to internalized patriarchy and self-hate. They are also over-competizing for the inherent racism of Capitalism.

I think suspending your ability to use your intelligence to form independent thoughts and judgments to vote for a candidate based soley on the fact that she has a vag is about the most dangerous (and ridiculous) thing a woman could do.
