One of the delights of our morning was the plethora of Lincoln/Obama comparisons floating around the media, so CHS' documentation of one artist's visual conflation between the two leaders strikes us as particularly timely. Columbia City Blog's pithy observation via Twitter about the new zeitgeist has stuck with us, as has Big Blog's report from the King County Juvenile Detention Center ("your past is not your future" was all we had to read before choking up yet again). Another heart-strings-tugger: Rainier Valley Post's entry with one Seattleite's plea to McDermott and Obama for inauguration tickets. (She and her father did end up getting a special invite from the President himself.)

The latest endorsement may not be on a John Edwards scale. But, in such a tightly contested race, every endorsement (especially one from a superdelegate) is a victory worth celebrating. Washington Representative and superdelegate Jim McDermott announced his support of Barack Obama today. McDermott told the Seattle P-I that he is supporting Obama because he is "confident as president he will end the war in Iraq and bring our sons and daughters home."
