YAY! all us illinoisians are so excited that he got to be the keynote speaker. he is teh awesome. a friend and i were actually talking about whether or not he's eligible-- he wasn't born here, but his mom was a citizen, so we think he is. but we didn't actually like... look up any actual information or anything, no.

yes. i wanted to switch my registration back over, but he's running unopposed and the iowa senate race could be interesting, so.

also his name is really fun to say, or rather to yell. OBAMA!
