Obama

So Jeremy's post about the Obama rally more or less covers my feelings on it. While Obama is certainly inexperienced and probably naive, he is an inspiring candidate who seems to have real moral convictions. Also, I think his inexperience could easily be offset by him surrounding himself with intelligent advisors (ala Bill Clinton), who unlike the current incumbent in the oval office, will be willing to listen to both sides of an argument and not see everything as black and white. While I do agree with Jeremy that it would be nice to hear more specific policy suggestions, at this point, I would not a view a vote for Obama as voting against the other guy (like I do my vote for John Kerry), instead I would actually be excited to support a presidential candidate. And for the record, the same holds true in my eyes for John Edwards, who I think I might actually prefer a little bit to Obama. But either one (or especially an Obama/Edwards ticket or vice versa) would be a huge step in the right direction for America.
