Surging Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tantalized his audience in a sell-out performance in Dallas last night, when he took the stage with his Epiphone acoustic guitar and played a kick-ass version of "Love Me Tender." Women of all races and age groups swooned and fainted as Obama crooned the magical words, "...all my dreams fulfilled..." Large portions of "metrosexual" males in the crowd fanned themselves and shook their heads in wonder - and a few of them even fainted as well. When the song's final strains resonated through the ampitheater, the crowd of nearly 20,000 burst into a thunderous ovation, and most of them proceeded to take out their cigarette lighters as Obama left the stage, waving and shouting out what sounded to on-lookers like, "Hope!" or "Change!" or "Yes we can!"... A few minutes later, after the ovation reached a jet plane-like crescendo, Obama returned to the stage and played "Suspicious Minds" on the hamer dulcimer before being escorted by his entourage off-stage and into his awaiting limo... Tickets to Obama's show tonight in Houston reportedly sold out in less than an hour, and when asked if Obama was planning to add any more Texas dates to his schedule, a campaign staffer simply said, "Hope... so."
