News of Obama's Santa Barbara Visit



I've already shared my thoughts about Barack Obama's visit to Santa Barbara. I was up on a grassy knoll, a bit away from the main action, but even from a distance you have to feel inspired by him. He has that Bobby Kennedy charisma -- and if he goes up against Rudy in the General election -- or Fred Thompson for that matter -- I think you'll see a Kennedy vs. Nixon kind of match. One inspires hope the other something else.


Here is a link to the local Daily Sound reports from Saturday -- Apparently about 1800 were expected and three times that showed up. I've read reports of from 5000 to 7000 people there.
Of course it doesn't hurt that he took in more than 3 million dollars in the Saturday fund raisers!
