I am right-wing policy wonk, and pro-war at that, but what is going on transcends partisan politics.
I hear people call the comparisons to Camelot romanticized, but are they? Obama doesn't cheat on his wife with movie stars, nor did he come from any familial wealth, especially that gained by (the equivalent of) drug dealing. It would seem an improvement over JFK, or more appropriately, a real human being that can match up to the image of the martyr JFK became.
The main reason I am voting Obama: maybe, if he is elected, people could go back to talking to each other about things that matter; and it might even be socially acceptable for people to change their mind upon reflection.
This Blog and the individuals who contribute to it were formerly dedicated to the reality that America needed Barack Obama to become the next President of the United States. Now that Barack Obama has been elected president, we intend to stay active and participate as much as possible in our new government. This is an independent Blog and is neither associated with, nor endorsed by the Obama administration.
