Obama’s No Fluke
Barack Obama’s win in South Carolina has confirmed that his candidacy is not a flash in the pan. The man inspires where ever he goes and I believe he has the momentum needed to take the nomination. He speaks to the best parts of us and gives young people a reason to get motivated in the process of democracy.
He’s even swaying hearts and minds of those on the right side of the isle with the possibility of what might be. He still has a long journey ahead of him and a great deal of experience to learn, but of anyone running this season, he fills me with the most hope for a better America. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again here. Lord bless him and keep him safe. We need this man.
If Obama becomes our next President, then I think I’ll cry tears of joy. I’m welling up right now…no kidding.
Right there with ya boss. As Craig and I were saying today, I really want to be able to vote for candidate instead of having to vote against someone. Obama would be the first one I think I could vote for whole-heartedly.
I share your enthusiasm for Obama. I convinced several people in Super Tuesday states to vote for him, and was greatly moved by the racial healing that took place in his South Carolina campaign, and Michelle Obama’s powerful speech there. But then I read this column by Paul Krugman on Obama’s health care plan, and this blog piece by Mac Secrest on the mistakes JFK made in his first year due to inexperience, and thought, well, maybe Hillary’s a better bet.
I’ll probably swing back and forth some more. As I read that North Carolina’s primary might actually be in play and make a difference in the national campaign, I’m more excited.
