Obama-man

I've been a fan of Obama's campaign for some time (as Andrew Sullivan appears to be as well). His latest speech kicks some serious ass, directly rebutting the "conventional wisdom" that many are throwing out there.

I'm convinced that Clinton's support is wide but shallow, and a win by Obama in Iowa will start the tide flowing. Clinton is running like Bush ran the first time: He got the support simply by virtue of being the frontrunner. I fear she'll govern much like Bush as well--divide and make sure you've got at least 51%.

I was (and am) a huge fan of President Bill Clinton. But a second President Clinton would be too much what we've had for nearly 4 terms now: Divisive, hateful, and ugly politics. It doesn't have to be that way, people.
