This is the big one

Super Tuesday is just one week away.  Words cannot describe how excited I am about Barack Obama's chances, based on a plethora of data that shows him surging in the national polls. 

Remember months ago when I told you all to never pay attention to national polling data?  Well throw that out the window.  With 24 states voting this Tuesday, national polls do matter.  The latest daily rolling Gallup Survey puts Obama within four points of Hillary.  Just four days ago, Hillary lead Obama by 11 points!

If the election were to happen today, Hillary would win most of the states.  But between now and Tuesday, that could change, as the Obama Campaign began running ads nationwide yesterday, concentrating most of those ads on densely populated areas in the states of New York and California.

Furthermore, the huge endorsements from the Kennedy's are helping.  It's almost as if the two major political families in the Democratic Party over the last half-century are squaring off.  Also, Obama secured endorsements from Senator Patrick Leahy, MoveOn.org and, just late today, the Los Angeles Times.

As we line up to kick the big field goal that takes us into overtime, the political winds are in our favor.  Pundits said that this campaign would be over on Super Tuesday.  Not so.  Barack is in this until the convention, because we -- ordinary Americans -- are on the verge of taking our party back.
