    "We have to win, now"That was funny, how Obama got around to making that point: It would have been OK if I had lost Iowa; another Democrat would have emerged to carry the banner, and we would have rallied around and supported that other person.  But now I won!; the burden is on us!; we have to win!  Because the other side is not going to care at all about the things that we care about.
    He mentioned Darfur in that little catalogue of important issues, right after global warming.  That surprised me a bit, because I do not remember him speaking much about how he would handle Darfur (and Sudan and China).
    Another cause that he is fairly strong in supporting, but which is not likely to be talked about much by the campaign, is gay rights.  In this letter from the end of February, he cannot go so far as to approve of same-sex marriage, but at least he promises to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, one of the more disgraceful parts of Bill Clinton's legislative legacy:
