He&#8217;s also a quite the poet and moved several undecided voters following a recital of a poem he penned just hours before the caucus meeting:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em><strong>&#8220;O Mama&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nBy Brian Wang <\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>Why do I support Barack Obama?<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>Because of my Mama!

One nominee said she&#8217;s waited 60 years for a candidate like Barack Obama to come along. Another nominee said Barack Obama changed his life.<\/p>\n<p>Fog City Journal is hoping to cadge a ride to Denver in the spirit of the Blues Brothers.
