CALL ME SNAKE

Let me say upfront that I am an Obama supporter. Still doubts have been raised in the usual quarters–by Clinton, McClain, the Boston Globe, and my neighbor–as to whether he’ll be able to deliver on his promise of hope. If Obama wins, and it’s starting to seem as if he might (with the shakeup in the Clinton camp, always a bad sign, plus the possibility of playing the “age card” against the next AARP darling, McCain), we have to hope the doubters are wrong. In other words, we have to hope for hope. And I, for one, am hopeful about that.
