He is the only candidate who can unite the country. Toni Morrison wrote a beautiful letter in her endorsement of Obama.

Barack the Vote!

Great stuff, you know I was listening to my EXODUS (Bob Marley) album yesterday and thought the lyrics to So much things to say http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A_1Zt2abrY is such an apt song that sums up war of wars in the last couple of weeks!! Congrats to Barack!! and great job on the website!

I may be showing my age by saying this but,I have had this feeling before and the person responsible for it was shot on a balcony in Memphis. I am afraid for Obama and I am praying for him to make it through to November and beyond as our President because we all know there are a lot of crazies out there. Having said all that, I did notice at today’s rally that he’s got heavy security surrounding him, which Dr. King did not have. I dont want to burst any bubbles, I just remember this feeling..

Team Billary continues to throw the race card out there,and it cost them votes they needed in South Carolina and will cost them votes during Super Tuesday and other races. Thank goodness Americans are smart enough to see that a vote for Obama is more than just voting for a Black man…it’s voting for an intelligent man who is so passionate about improving our government. The media always stated his appeal was mainly with the young Americans, but his appeal reaches out to all people who are ready to embrace change. The Change Movement is here and I love it!

Twice as many people turned out for this primary as in 2004. At my church the next day, people were so excited about this election! Obama ran an EXTENSIVE ground campaign here, and from what I saw, his efforts here dwarfed those of Edwards and Clinton. And it paid off!! He didn’t just win SC, he TOOK SC! His victory speech was awesome; I only wish I could’ve been there. I agree with Jay Smooth about the amount of white support for Obama here. It’s tangible, and that’s something that the media here seems to miss. On to Super Tuesday!!!

I don’t think I’ve felt this way about something political in my life. This is more than a campaign, this is a MOVEMENT. The victory in S. Carolina was phenomenal, and I’ve been on a high all weekend (and I still am!) Yet, I know the road ahead is long. It was the people on the ground in South Carolina who knocked on doors, called people and passed out literature who made this victory possible. We have to GET OUT THE VOTE! I hope all Obama supporters who live in super Tuesday states are getting involved! My state doesn’t vote until March 4th, but I will definitely be doing ALL I CAN. This is CRUCIAL y’all…the future is at stake! Let’s do this!

YES WE CAN!

Agree with the comments above, Obama really got a remarkable amount of white support in SC though that’s been obscured by other storylines..

This is truly exciting. While covering an Obama event a couple weeks ago, I talked to 50 year-old-man who is going to vote for the first time in his life. He said that as a black man and former convict, he never felt that his vote mattered until Obama came along. He said he likes Obama’s message and feels empowered. How beautiful is that?
