The energy around the Obama campaign is amazing right now. I'm running all over Massachusetts for Barack today. In fact, this morning I was in Newton stumping in Lasell Village -- and it turns out that Barack's strategist David Axelrod's mother lives there! I told her that her son David was doing a great job. Great to make a local connection!

The last days, I've been on the road for Barack, and I've seen 1,600 people come to a town hall meeting with me in San Francisco to talk about Barack, seen hundreds standing in the driving rain in San Jose, and seen a hundred people shivering in a driveway in New Haven just yesterday -- every one of them energized by this movement. Something's happening out there. Half way through my day in California, knowing I had the pleasure of a red eye flight coming up, it was enough to make me call my guy in Chicago and tell him I wanted to be in Connecticut on Super Bowl Sunday to try and do some more events.

We've got another event together tonight right here in Boston, so come on down and check it out. Even if you can't, you'll be able to watch it live. Barack, Ted Kennedy, Gov. Patrick and I will all be at an event in Boston at 9 tonight, in the 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 in the area, you can still 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 yet volunteered to help bring real change to our country, you can still get out and help tomorrow. Just visit the volunteer page on BarackObama.com and sign up. Or work for the Obama campaign right from your home. Go to the virtual phonebanking page here and you can call folks 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, if you live in a Super Tuesday state, get out and vote yourself tomorrow. Even if you don't vote for Barack Obama -- though, of course, I hope you will -- then get out and vote anyway. That's what this whole glorious experiment in representative democracy we call America is all about. Vote!

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 BarackObama.com starting at 9 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 an organized, concerted push from millions of people like you 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 -- and the world -- can't wait.
