3 more days until February 5th!

Obama raised $32 million in January alone, all from individual contributors, 160,000 of them being new contributors to the campaign. It's amazing that a candidate is able to inspire people like that.

Speaking of getting large amounts of people, Obama held a rally in Idaho today that packed in 15,000 people, who stood in a line over a mile and a half long in the cold for a chance to see him speak. Someone took an amazing panaramic photo of what that looks like.

The Nation has a lengthy but very good article on why they support Obama for the Democratic nominee.

Time has a really interesting piece on young voters. One of the more striking statistics is in 2000, 13% of youth (18-29) cared about the election. This year it's 74%.

Finally, I everyone needs to watch the following two videos. They don't go into Obama's policy (again, look at the his 64 page policy outline for all the information you could ever want) but they show why he's unlike any other candidate of our time:
The story behind it and a link to the video.
