This. This gives me Hope.

Fri 24 Oct 2008

This is the sound of intelligent young people engaging in the political process in numbers not seen in more than a generation.

These are the images not of fear-mongering, not of protest, but of change for the better.

This is the medium of grass-roots dialogue and enlightenment.

I could see the change coming when, in the early days of the Democratic primaries, Hilary Clinton ran out of supporters who could donate to her campaign in blocks of $1million or so.  At the same time, the Obama campaign was fundraising much more in PayPal donations of $10, $50 or $100.  Behind each of those tiny donations was a committed voter.  This gives me hope.

Thank you for the link, David.

    Yeah, your friend Corey C. He’d be one of the intelligent young people.
