Less and less worried about Obama's chances
As long as McCain keeps shooting himself in the foot at every opportunity:

Barack Obama rally in Portland
75,000 people showed up to see Barack Obama speak in Portland. That's roughly 10% of the entire population of the city! I think it's also the largest number of people to turn out for one of Barack Obama's rallys yet! Just amazing!
I am so happy about Obama
Obama is on an impressive streak! Go Obama! Gobama! In homage to Mike Thole's tweet and my Twitter icon, I have made this banner:
LightCMS logo: Obama much?
I saw a link to a new CMS in my news reader this morning called LightCMS that bills itself as the first "designer friendly" CMS. When I clicked through to check it out I noticed something odd about their logo. I'd seen it somewhere before, but where? Hmm.... wait! Obama! I see that they've added a few light rays and pulled out the stripes, but the similarity is unmistakable! Maybe they're just huge Obama fans?
Obama's graphic designers. Excellent logo lesson: learn to be flexible
I just ran across this post on the Speak Up blog, The Hardest Working Presidential Candidate Logo, and thought others might enjoy it. It really speaks to how the Obama campaign have employed some really thoughtful designers / design firms to build and push the "branding" of the Barack Obama 2008 campaign.

Obama's speech last night
I know he won and all last night, but calling it a "victory" speech makes me feel funny. It probably feels like a lot bigger victory to them because they've been grinding for four months now. The speech is great and I hope Obama rolls all the way to the White House by November. I am so happy for Obama, his campaign, and his family: Go Obama!

I project Obama winner of the Democratic Party Caucus in Iowa
CNN won't do it, but with well over 76% of precincts reporting, Obama has garnered nearly 36% of the votes, with his two closest competitors (Edwards & Clinton) topping out at around 30% each: Senator Barack Obama : 35.96% Senator John Edwards : 30.60% Senator Hillary Clinton : 30.41% Governor Bill Richardson : 1.92% Senator Joe Biden : 0.98% Uncommitted : 0.10% Senator Chris Dodd : 0.03% Precincts Reporting: 1382 of 1781 Keep watching the results here http://www.iowacaucusresults.com/ or here: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#IA Update: Gus Mueller pointed me to Politico which is great for watching both sides of the primaries, and not ...
