Why?! JOHN EDWARDS FINALLY ENDORSED BARACK OBAMA!!!!!

At the end of a grueling 48 hours that left me completely exhausted, this was SUCH welcomed news. I have NO idea what effect this will have on the electorate, if any at all, but what a giant morale booster. This has been such a hard fought primary season with ups and downs like a freaking roller coaster. I continue to support the campaign on several different levels. I'm also looking at how I can get my butt up to Oregon to help out.

I'm so grateful. I'm so proud.

It's time to heal the fracture and to bridge the divide. It's time to defeat John McCain. If you are an Obama supporter and you've yet to get involved in the campaign, I invite you to do so now on whatever level you can. If you are an Obama supporter and you are already involved in the campaign, I invite you to step it up a notch. He's going to need all the help he can get during the general election. You KNOW that the Republican attack machine is gearing up for the "all out, guns blazing, take no prisoners" assault of a lifetime.

I am willing to be on the front line of defense. I believe in this man and what he's tapped into in the collective consciousness. No amount of skepticism or cynicism from anyone else is going to dampen or derail my conviction.

Head over to the official campaign website: www.barackobama.com

There you will find dozens of ways to get involved locally and nationally, if you are so inclined. If you STILL think it doesn't matter who's in office, I invite you to look at the last 8 years through the very real possibility of them having been under AL GORE and NOT GW. There's NO doubt that he would have been a better president than GW. I would have been a better president than GW! YOU would have been a better president than GW! For starters our carbon footprint on the planet would be far less under Gore. Secondly, the situation in Iraq would look remarkably different than it does now, as would the impact that it has had on our economy and our standing in the world.

I'm REALLY clear that my actions have already made a difference in this campaign, that my voice has been and continues to be heard. I'm also clear that having been inspired by the campaign, I've made a difference in the lives of grade school kids in a classroom all the way on the other side of the country! I helped to fund a project by a teacher who wanted to add a 'Harry Potter" book to her active participation reading list. There are so many other projects in the works too. Check this out:

Check out my dorky exuberance back in March in response to Obama people getting things DONE. This is a blog on my personal profile on the Obama campaign site:

"OH MY GOD!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

I was the second person to donate in Obama's name to the 'Everyone Deserves a Chance' fund through Donor's Choose.org a couple of hours ago. I donated $50 and about $700 or so was still needed. I just happened to check back to see if anyone else had donated yet and the WHOLE THING IS ALREADY FUNDED!!!!

YOU GUYS ROCK SO HARD! I'm SO proud to be a part of this movement with all of you! There is NO doubt in my mind about what Barack keeps talking about with regard to the change happening that is SO needed beginning with US!!!!!!!

I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination, (Actually, I told a lie. I AM rich!) but I saw this as an opportunity to put my money where my mouth is AGAIN. I've been doing that quite a bit of late thanks to Barack and this campaign.

You guys make me proud to be an American again. Just LOOK at what we are DOING as a community. There's NOTHING we can't accomplish.

Oh boy am I excited! What else you got? Bring it on! Team Obama is on the case!!!"...

To me, it doesn't get much better than that. I LIVE for inspiration!

What an EXCITING time to be alive! I'm grateful for my life EVERY DAY. I know how much of a blessing it is, and it just keeps getting better all the time! In fact, I'm actually quite surprised that I haven't won the Lottery yet!!! How odd!! Must be a glitch in the matrix ;-)

Thank you, Barack, for running for President. This is already a different country because of the way that you've run your campaign. I am proud to be a part of it!
