Obama's Saturday and Sunday Announcement Blitz

If you had any questions on whether or not Obama was going to back out or announce on Saturday, they are answered with a multi-city barnstorming tour after the Springfield, IL kick off.

Visits to Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, Ames, and Chicago mean you could go to see him.

Ooohhh, I wish I still lived in Ames, or even up by Waterloo. I'd definitely stop out and see him!

Have you heard of this site?

Here are my results...looks like I'm a Obama fan...which I can definitely agree with. But I thought my views would be more in-line with Edwards...so I guess I'd look into it a bit more before putting a lot of trust into it. But it's probably a good base from which to start to identify politicians you may like...

What do you think? Maybe you should try it and write a post on it...

or else the tool is a bit biased in how it is portrayed or how it makes matches...

I'm thinking of changing to be a Republican so that I can try to get Tancredo to be the Republican's candidate they put forward. He is so rude, arrogant, and hurtful that there is no way he could become president!

Perhaps Barack has paid for this?

Yeah, the stangeness of all three of us getting Obama at 100% with varied different second options gives me considerable pause in believing this is accurate...

David took the test too...Barack was also 100% for him!
