Temporarily Breaking My Election Coverage Boycott...

Did ya see Obama on Letterman yesterday? If not, it's available here on YouTube in 4 parts (he was on for a large portion of the show). He was amazing. I was so bedazzled by his eloquence, charm, humor and vision that I swear I had cartoon hearts shooting out of my eyes and red, white and blue stars circling my head.

None of these attributes of his was new to me, by any means. It was just magical to see them all packaged so perfectly in one appearance--and to see him so relaxed and comfortable and natural. It's a good indicator that someone genuinely believes what's coming out of his own mouth when he's so clearly comfortable in his own skin.

Once again, I'm aware that this is his normal demeanor, I'm just so jazzed that America had a chance to see him shine in such an intimate, no BS, one-on-one type of setting. How anyone could watch that appearance and not fall in love with this candidate and his vision for America befuddles me greatly.

Also, we cheated and watched Countdown with Keith Olbermann last night. I think this might just be the most amazing Special Comment he's ever delivered. The man gives me chills.
