I am with Obama now more than ever,
I have only been an eligible voter for eleven years, but in those eleven years I have never believed in a candidate like I believe in Barack Obama. Everytime I think he might let me down he does not, whether it be "pastor-gate" or "bitter-gate". Even in such circumstances where I thought the controversy was to a large degree fabricated by the media I thought he responded with the right level of response and outrage.

I am not sure that Barack will win the General Election this coming November, but I am not sure that I care anymore. I think that win or lose putting up a candidate like Barack Obama is a fight worth having for we Democrats. Flawed thinking or not, I have heard for years about how putting Barry Goldwater forward as a candidate in 1964 was important for Republicans in putting their party back together. I am not suggesting that Barack Obama would lose in a landslide like Goldwater, but only that if HE DID(and I do not think that he would) it would not be the worst thing in the world. We would be standing up for our principles, and our Party. Better that than voting for someone that was an accomplice to war, and NAFTA and a culture of Corporate corruption in Washington.

GOBAMA!!!!!!!!!

6. I could not agree more!!!
Seems we are of the same age/generation. We haven't known honesty, integrity, and hope in politics in our own lifetimes. I see so much of this in Obama. I've been behind him since I saw him speak at the 2004 Democratic Convention, and I looked over at my husband and said: "That man is going to be President of the United States."

7. That is so nice to hear
I try so hard to get my friends interested in this election and the liberal leaning ones respond saying don't worry I'll vote for Hillary or Obama like they are the same person or something. Or they spit back the media drivel "Well I like Obama, I just Wish he had Hillary's experience" ............. grrrrrrrrrrrr like he hasn't spent more time in elected office than she has. I am so sorry that I ever voted for her.

Gobama!

8. The more I see HRC & Obama the more I know it must be Obama!!!!!
There is no doubt in my mind that Obama is the best candidate! Hillary and Bill have struck down all the respect I had for them. They are not doing the Democratic Party any good by continuing this defeat by any means strategy!!!!!!!!!
