I’ve done it. Who’s with me? Let’s try it for, say, two weeks, and see how many Dopers rally to the presumptive Democratic nominee’s colors. OBAMA '08! ---

I don’t ever get to join great things on the front end, so why not? 🙂 ---

Ok, I’ve done it. Even though Arizona has traditionally been a “red” state, and despite the fact that McCain’s our Senator (or because of it, I’m not sure), I’ll wave the banner for Obama and the Democrats. ---
