Some more Obama stuff

I missed last night's debate, but it doesn't look like I missed much. A lot of people have noted that the audience was unfair in trying to censor criticism of Clinton. CNN's South Carolina political ticker blog is useful for catching articles like these:
  1. Choosing a president | Obama chasing Clinton in S.C., The State, Wed 11/14/07
  2. Three Reasons (for Obama to feel optimistic and pessimistic about winning in SC), The State, Wed 11/14/07
  3. Obama's Red State Appeal, Time Magazine, Fri 11/2/07: "At Obama events in Oklahoma, Kentucky, Virginia and Georgia, a good 20% of audiences routinely raise their hands when emcees ask for Republicans in the crowd. A "Republicans for Obama" website has 11 state chapters with 146 members."
Even though article #3 is dated, it jives well with what I wrote yesterday.
