Obama's New Hat

Here's a great pic from the Texas Observer of Barack Obama at a rally in Austin, Texas yesterday. 15,000 came out to the rally on a rainy day. That cheers me up. I'm actually starting to look forward to the upcoming media orgy of primaries and political spectacles. This should be fun.

I confess a weakness for the theater of politics. There's a strange element of electoral cosplay and political cross-dressing that takes place each election season. Already Barack Obama looks much better in his black hat than John Kerry ever did in his bike helmet. I'm looking forward to seeing the next act in this drama.
