Tonight’s Obama Event in Boston

Barack, Ted Kennedy, Gov. Patrick and I will all be at an event in Boston at 8 tonight Commonwealth Hall of the Seaport World Trade Center, and I’m sure the room will be packed. If you can make it to Boston, come on by, but if you’re not, you can watch it on barackobama.com; they’ll stream it live from the hall (event begins at 9 pm tonight). It’ll be the final event before Super Tuesday, and we’re excited it’s here in Massachusetts so don’t miss it. And tell your friends and family about it, as well. We want to make sure as many people get a chance to see Barack speak before the vote on Super Tuesday.

I’m proud to be a part of this fight. I had no illusions when I endorsed Barack; he had just lost New Hampshire, and Hillary Clinton had a substantial national lead and in all the big states. But I believed in Barack’s candidacy. I’ve served with him on the Foreign Relations Committee, I’ve seen how he works and the way he listens. I know this guy. He’s a special kind of leader, a rare leader, a once in a generation talent. And I know this is his moment. He has gifts, and one of those gifts – wisdom – is rare in any field, as Oprah said I thought very powerfully just yesterday in California.

Now the campaign has tightened considerably. The polls show a tight race all over the country, even here in Massachusetts, an amazing turnaround for Barack’s campaign. He now has the momentum, and it shows no sign of stopping, if people like you – much more than people like me – keep it growing. That’s the bottom line. One of my mentors Gary Hart once told me that endorsements matter not in the least – and he told me that even as he was endorsing me! But Gary was and is right – what matters is that I’m just one of hundreds of thousands of people who are putting serious time and effort into this campaign.

If you can spare some time and haven’t volunteered, you can still get out and help tomorrow. Just visit the MA homepage on BarackObama.com and sign up. Or work for the Obama campaign right from your home. Go to here and you can call folks right here in MA to help get-out-the-vote. It makes a big difference, and it’s an incredible feeling being part of this campaign.

And, of course, get out and vote yourself tomorrow. You can find your polling or caucus location by going here

And, don’t forget, take some time out to come down to the event in Boston or watch it on live streaming video tonight. Just go to the homepage at http://www.barackobama.com starting at 8 pm; the stream will be front and center.

The momentum you see can be felt at these events all across the country, it’s happening here in Massachusetts, and the vote could be very close tomorrow, an astonishing achievement considering how large a lead Clinton had in the polls. Tell your friends and family to watch the event tonight, make calls, volunteer at your local campaign office … only with the organized, concerted push from millions can we bring real change to this country.

I see it happening, and we need to do all we can to make sure it succeeds. Our nation – the world – can’t wait.

Please share widely!
