        This is the perfect story for the Politics/Basketball fan....and hopefully the perfect metaphor for the race ahead...
        
        Ya know, I was kinda on the fence, but--if he dunked when he was 16, what choice do I really have?

        I doubt if Obama plays him on the court though. We may have to question his judgment in that case!

        I dunked when I was 16 (those were the days; now it's a good day if I can get high enough just to hang on the rim)). Will you support me for prez?
        
        There are a lot of reasons to support Obama, but the fact that he's good at bball relative to other candidates seems very low on the list. Tell me you were joking when you said that his being able to dunk at 16 moved you off of the fence.

        Basketball? Why not riding in a tank or cleaning his gun on a hunting trip. If Guliani can wear a dress, Obama can certainly play basketball.
        
        I'm sooo tired of hearing the media spout about "Maverick McCain the war hero."

        the photo ops with world leaders would take place on the newly minted White House courts.
        
        Imagine the sweatshirt wars (Putin wearing "Dynamo Moscow" and Obama in "Bulls"), the colors and shoe statements.

        but the sports analogies - playing under pressure and all that - are not so convincing to me. I'm glad he's in shape, competitive and a good sport, but that's about all one can infer from a sports diary.

        Hopefully it is taken in the spirit it is offered, and not as a claim he is "ready to lead" or something like that.

  reporter. It tells you all you need to know about Obama----the determination, the poise, the appealing personality, the winning ways. Come on Iowa! Look at the opportunity you have this time---a chance to give the best we've ever seen a great send-off----and this country and the world will take notice.
