End of the Week post

Work week has come to an end here at The Log. Busy week, lots happening hence the lack of posts. A couple thoughts on Giuliani’s visit yesterday. Thanks to his staff for making the visit pretty much a breeze for the press, particularly our photographer who got some great stuff at yesterday’s event. Regardless of whether or not Giuliani wins the nomination or the presidency he is arguably one of the most prominent figures in modern U.S. history and to hear him speak atop a bench at The Donut Hole was a little surreal. I can imagine others in attendance felt similarly.
I was happy to read in USAToday that voter enthusiasm is up and it really leaves one with the impression that this is going to be one of those landmark elections like when Kennedy was elected in 1960. I try to stay apolitical in my work and kind of keep my political views entirely separate from my professional work but I like what Barack Obama’s candidacy means for the advancement of race relations in our country. If nothing else, we need change and I like thc change that his presidency represents. Judging from the stories I’ve read, a lot of other people feel similarly inspired.
