Hi everyone,
Well just thought it would be appropriate for me to give you all my endorsement for the democratic primary since California will now be voting in the Super duper Tuesday.
To me the choice is clear. The nation is wounded by the political division caused by the actions of those who recently took over the republican party and this nation's government. We are divided but also we face serious problems: a recession, a horrible lose/lose situation in the middle east, the threat of global warming, etc. To properly deal with these we need some bit of national unity behind some plans that are put forward to actually try and address these problems.
Now I do not think there would be that much difference in the policies put forth by a Clinton administration compared to an Obama Administration. But I believe that nominating Clinton would be like rubbing salt in the wound that has us divided. Think about how divided our nation became when the right went after the Clintons the first time. It was ridiculous. Imagine if Hilary becomes president. The right is just gonna do everything they can to go after her. This is the last thing we need.
Obama on the other hand would be like a healing salve. He actually has the power to inspire people who have not been inspired by politics. He is bringing huge numbers of people into the party: young people (tomorrows leaders and VOTERS), independents, and even republicans who are disillusioned with their party after Bush.
The world of right wing pundits would just go off on Hilary and I think they would be a bit less critical of Obama. There is a serious anti Clinton bias among the right. But the main benefit of running Obama is having someone that can turn out record numbers of voters to the polls. This is the best thing for the democratic party and the country. A higher voter turn out will help restore a bit of our democracy and a high voter turn out will always benefit the democrats. This is why the Republicans do all they can do (ala Karl Rove strategy 101) to suppress voter turn out at the poles.
So lets get an inspirational new voice out there. End some of the divisiveness and bring more new people into the political process. Plus think about how the world would see us if we elected Obama. He is what we need to restore our respect in the world after Bush. Plus it is Black history month so what better way to honor that than to put Obama out their as the democratic nominee.
Of course I will be happy to vote for Clinton when it comes time to vote against McCain or Romney.
Whoever you vote for, just get out there and vote!
Danny
