About Me
- MPP
- I'm a 30 year old San Francisco resident by way of Virginia, currently working as an alumni affairs officer at a major research university in the Bay Area. I mainly write about politics, sports, music, and culture. I am a 1999 graduate of the University of Virginia with a degree in Foreign Affairs. I am hoping to begin a master's degree program in Journalism in the next few years.

CONGRATS and EXCELLENT response Preston. It's so frustrating to see ...I'll say "progressives"...just give in to the idea that you gotta go Hillary because she (or she and Bill, much more accurately) are the only ones that have what it takes to ensure Democrat victory in 2008. I have to admit that I feel that impulse somewhat...can Obama STAND UP (to many that means get dirty and sling mud) as he'll undoubtedly have to to fight off Giuliani or whoever. And in many ways I'm more concerned with who I DON'T want leading the country compared to who I DO want leading the country. But I don't want to go down that road. I'd rather focus on the idea that Obama does represent something new and hopeful that we can get into. I can think of two "conservative" friends/acquaintances that are buying into Obama. Maybe that doesn't happen outside of the Bay area...but I bet it does, and I think people are underestimating the appeal that Obama might have to a lot of ideal-minded conservatives. He has a legitimate shot at getting their votes in the general election...does Hillary?
