Obama Wins 10 in a Row !

Last night, Barack Obama won the Wisconsin Primary and the Hawaii Caucus, extending his winning streak to 10 out of 10 contests. He has won in every contest since Super Tuesday in Washington, Louisiana, Nebraska, The U.S. Virgin Islands, Maine, The District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and now Wisconsin and Hawaii. He is ahead in delegates, number of states won, and in the popular vote. His opponent for the Democratic nomination, HRC is in a difficult position. I hope that she will not go overly negative and give ammunition to the Republicans, but I fear that she will. Already, John McCain, the all-but-certain Republican nominee is giving speeches attacking Obama as if he were the Democratic nominee!

About Me

My photo
Lima, Ohio, United States
I was born and raised in Ohio. I am a lifelong Catholic Christian who has always been interested in the big questions of life. I have a passion for learning especially Philosophy, Science, Religion, History and Culture. I graduated from the University of Toledo in 2001 with a B.A. in International Relations. I married my soul-mate, Jen in 2001 and we moved to rural Tanigumi-mura Japan where we taught English for 3 years. We moved to California and lived in San Francisco and the Bay Area for 4 years. Tired of sitting on the sidelines, I began volunteering for the Barack Obama campaign in March of 2007 and was eventually hired as a Field Organizer. Through the Obama campaign, I found my calling and moved back to Ohio to continue organizing. In 2009 I helped the field operations of the Keith Wilkowski for Mayor of Toledo race. After that, I was hired as a Regional Field Director for 15 northwestern and north central Ohio counties for the 2010 Democratic Coordinated Campaign. Jen and I are continuing to volunteer as we wait for the next organizing opportunity to present itself.
