By Every Means Possible

Campaigning in Harvard Square on a cold winter night.

My first choice of course was Elizabeth Kucinich. Dennis probably would be the best in the history of First Spice.

I’ve seen more Obama energy in and near Harvard Yard than any other candidate. Not a lot, but more than anyone else. If it comes down to it, I’ll gladly spend the hour it will take to vote for Obama. Hopefully, it will be an Obama-Edwards ticket. But the candidates “left standing” are all waffling on the Regional War in the Middle East. What’s wrong with America being number one in sustainable economic development? Or are we dedicated to My Lai on a regional scale? We have to destroy the region to save it?

We have a Supreme Court, largely Harvard trained, who clearly violated the legislative intent of the Constitution in 2000 and will be in place for another generation. A Congress unable to stop funding escalation in the region despite the Tide of ’06 and a President who “signs away” a restriction on building a permanent presence and proposes to put more weapons in the region.

If we wait a year for change, it will be impossible. We need to be moving now, by every means possible.

    Yeah, there was a fair number of Obama supporters in the Square yesterday or the day before… here’s to Super Tuesday!
