    Opportunity Knocking

    The more I read about the Obama's and what they stand for, the more I feel that the Clinton's are not the right choice for the Democrats and America.

    I have many reasons to pick Obama over Clinton. But for me, the most important issue is unity. I believe that Obama can unify this country and win a massive mandate from which to govern and reshape the political agenda for decades. On the other hand, I believe that Hillary Clinton, though capable of winning, will enable the red state/blue state madness that has poisoned this country to continue for four or eight more years.
