sort of cross posting from the GOS ..
Barack’s statement today about the anger of the people who are not even in his base of support, and more importantly his response to the fawning McCain and Clinton campaigns as they spun to the PA electorate convinced me.
Obama’s ready to stand and fight for what he believes in.
I might not always agree with exactly what it is, that which Barack Obama believes in, but I am sick to death of leaders who will not stand up for what they believe, especially Democrats. What I saw today shows me without a doubt this man has the self determination and pride to stand for what he thinks is right.
I’ve seen enough of the guy to realize he does offer a set of viewpoints that are closer to mine than John McCain’s, easily and he has eclipsed Hillary Clinton because he has cut through the BS, and has let truth speak.
I may not always agree with his viewpoints, it would be too much to ask. But as time has progressed, I have seen the candidate take on challenges and do so directly, and honestly. That’s a mark of a leader, a person who can be trusted to stay true to himself. There’s some sort of personal integrity aspect to Barack Obama I am beginning to like, more and more.
As I told our fellow rabble rousers over in Orangeville, that doesn’t mean I’m hopping on the Bash Hillary and Bill bus.

I enjoyed reading about your well reasoned journey to the Obama camp! Mine started with Al Gore and meandered thru Richardson and finally saw Obama attracting young voters… that got my attention. A whole generation (talking ’bout my generation) of activists were born with the JFK presidency and Obama has that ability to inspire, as well.
Also, there is no need to bash Hillary and McCain… they just simply are NOT acceptable and would represent more of the same… the secrecy and pandering and the Fascism! Those are just facts.
