On Attending the Obama Rally in Coral Gables Today

[Editor's note] Despite an ungodly wake-up call, congested traffic, and three long hours of standing-up and waiting, I found myself standing 5-6ft away from the man, the myth, the legend. Sen. Barack Obama was in my neck of the woods this morning, rallying women into action. He discussed the bullet-points of his platform, much of which has already been widely covered. But being in his presence, listening to a future long-desired and way over due, it was confirmed that he is my candidate.

He is a man who speaks to my needs; the need for health care, for a prosperous economy, a responsive educational system, and a government withdrawal from our bodies and our bedrooms. He's both attuned and receptive to the needs of an ailing and beleaguered people. He knows the challenges we face and is offering bright, concrete solutions to solving them. He's a smart man with smart ideas who is willing and able to lead this country in the direction of salvation. I, for one, feel that by supporting him, I'm supporting my future.

In the immortal words of Pitbull, ¡dale que tu puedes!
