Greetings friends!I am just stopping through after a few very busy weeks to say hello. I have been busy and barely able to keep up with emails or my online networks. Besides my regular work, my family and I have been helping with local campaining efforts for Barack Obama in Maryland. As you may know, he won Maryland decisively last week in the Potomac Primary. He also won Virginia and Washington, DC handily to our great delight.We will be watching the Wisconsin primary closely tomorrow--my husband's home state and birthplace of our three oldest children.I had the opportunity to sit next to a Swiss couple at Obama's rally here at the University of Maryland-College Park last week. The couple lives & works in Maryland and write for Swiss news and Vanity Fair Italy. The wife shared that several of their family members and friends in Switzerland, France, and Italy support Barack Obama and want to see him win the Presidency here. They are pulling for him in spirit.I asked her what Obama's appeal was for her and she said "it is something clean, good, and honest about him...I believe that he is sincere and that he can bring change". She also shares in my admiration for Michelle Obama who spoke later that evening in Bethesda, Maryland to a packed house. I was told that she lit the place up and left folks speechless and more convinced that the Obama's are the right choice for the White House.The world is certainly watching.I am interested to know what you all think about Obama, and what folks in your city/town saying. Please share!Lisa
