Greetings all:

I've just returned from an early press briefing at Obama's Hyatt headquarters. It's so cowded the Fire Marshals are checking credentials. Reporters from every corner of the planet are setting up to cover an historic race for the American Presidency. As you drift through the room you can hear a variety of accents. The early spin coming from the Obama camp is 'don't expect too much'...that way we'll all be pleasantly surprised if he continues to tighten this race. Of course he'll carry Illinois...but how close can he get to Hillary in California? Has he started too late trying to woo the Latino vote? None of these questions matter to rapturous supporters who want to be in the room so they can witness history. We'll be there and will continue to post updates.

Regards,

Lilia

I heard on a couple of radio reports that there were just as many press from around the country as there were Obama supporters.

What the hell has this country come to? People don't want racism but it's ok for Oblacka & Hitlary to target certain races to get votes. If that's not racism what is?

The White Vote, Black Vote, Latino Vote and etc., it's nice to know that our government supports this racial crap by requiring you to indicate what race you are when you vote.

This question should not be on any ballot, poeple should just be able to vote without this racial question. The only question that should be on the ballot is "Male or Female" to determine who votes more.

What a cranky bunch. Does anyone have anything positive to say? About the politics of inclusion? Enthusiasm for the democratic process? Or the reasons this country continues to be a magnet for people of goodwill from all over the world? And for the record, there was a turn-away crowd at Obama headquarters, and the crush press covering it was from all over the world...France, Britain, Japan...they showed great interest and respect for the American political process. I hope you all are able to find something in that to cheer you up.

To see hundreds of thousands of young people finally deciding to get involved in politics is very much exciting. It's their future so its good that they are getting involved with their time and money. They are investing in their future and thats exciting.

Then there is the fact that more women are getting invoved in record numbers, for women are the majority of registered voters in the country so that fact that they are in a position to elect a female President is also exciting.

It is very exciting to see these new voters actually backing up their words with action versus letting a select few make permanent decisions for the majority.

And of course I am excited about my personal friend and fellow community organizer of over 20 years Barack Obama being a part of this history.

I'm a long-time reporter at Fox News with more than 25 years of journalism experience. In the course of my travails and travels I have worked in wires, newspapers and television, in Chicago and Albuquerque. Probably the most important lesson in all this a healthy respect for the great many ways there are to live life on our round planet...the second most important lesson is never wear high heels to a gang war. That's the thing about chasing news for a living...sometimes you have to run!
