After watching coverage of Obama going toe to toe with House Republicans yesterday, my phone was tied up for hours. It seems every volunteer on my campaign had seen it, and wanted to share their excitement. I was giddy too. I've waited my entire life to have a president who could demonstrate that level of understanding of facts and issues in answering questions from the opposition party. In my opinion, he was like the boxers of old who would take on all commers and still be standing at the end of the evening. Obama took on 140 members of Congress, and scored a TKO.

On a more personal note, my grandfather was the father of 11 children. During the Great Depression, he was one of those "boxers" who would take on as many contenders as possible for $0.25. He did it to support his family. Today my campaign team and I are meeting to set out our goals for the rest of this campaign. I hope they don't plan on buying any boxing gloves for me!
