And perhaps more importantly, Obama also won the Maine caucuses today:

Congrats to Obama for his Grammy! I just hope, that we the people will get a Grammy for a President! I am still on the fence, as to whom I want to be our next President!
Thanks Neo!

Double dose of bad news today for Hillary Clinton. Not only did her husband lose to Obama, so did she. I am just upset that Alan Alda did not win. He deserved the award, and he is not even running for office. If he did, I would vote for him.

Neo- I don't think that I have ever seen so many Canadians interested in the outcome of the American political process. I have had conservative people ask who Barack Obama is and some of them comment that if they were down there they could vote for him. Our television stations have been covering this closely and most who have heard him speak are impressed. I saw McCains speech yesterday and even with him being not a extreme right wing guy he left me feeling that he would be playing the same song just to a different beat. I think that the change that Barack talks of is something that the world is looking forward to.

FTA:
"Another former Democratic president, Jimmy Carter, also was in the running, with "Sunday Morning in Plains: Bringing Peace to a Changing World," a collection of Bible lessons. Carter won the award last year."
I could have sworn the title of his book was "Sunday Morning in Plains: Farming Nuts for a Nutty World".

Hill's campaign just keeps going more and more downhill... a shame she didn't run earlier or choose to run later. Obama, I think, is almost like an elemental force at this point. He is unstoppable and the Obama situation with Michigan, Florida and super delegates is a powder keg ready to explode in the Democratic Party. That will be sad. I think Hillary would have done a pretty good job as President in a different political climate, one where everyone wasn't so sick of partisanship. Even though she may in fact be the more centrist of the two, the image she cultivated early on of "beating" the Republicans wasn't bipartisan in image or even very centrist. Americans are sick of that attitude and like Obama's seeming openness. Its just to late or to early for her to be President. We may yet see her President in 2009 of course... but right now the momentum favors Obama. In 2016 it might be her time. Or now, even.

Handing out MUSIC awards to politicians? Man, oh man. If those awards ever had ANY cache before, they just lost it all...

I have the "spoken words" Obama won the Grammy for, and he's my guy for our next president. I firmly believe he can pull the parties together, at least for the most part. I love his ideas, his charisma, his desire for our country to be restored to the greatness it once enjoyed. Lots of damage to be undone and I think he's the one who can do it.

Obama on Sunday won the spoken word Grammy for the audiobook version of his blockbuster tome "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream." It marked his second statuette, following a win in 2006 for "Dreams From My Father," an audiobook for a memoir first published in 1995.
