OBAMA: Bowling For Hope

Open Left's Jennifer Fernandez Ancona talked to Harvard prof. Robert Putnam about why he believes Barack Obama can teach other candidates about "what is possible to re-imagine a more common identity." From Putnam: "Obama embodies the fact that people can across connect racial lines -- he wouldn't exist if people couldn't connect."

Also in Obama-love, Matthew Yglesias posts video of Obama playing hoops in high school.
