This looks so exciting! I live in Ottawa and I saw Obama buy cookies in one of the market stores! Haha. Now that store sells "Obama" cookies. So humourous to me!

I've got a lot of ASU friends, a few are graduating this year and so is my cousin. My friend works for The State Press (the ASU newspaper) so maybe she'll get to cover it.

Obama came to ASU when he was campaigning back in Oct '07 and then last month he came to my high school, and now he's coming back to ASU for graduation. I vote he keeps coming to Arizona.

I was surprised he got so much support from Arizona, it being John McCain's home state. I hope your friend does get to cover it. What an opportunity! I haven't yet got to see him in person so this is very exciting for me!
