  Why I support Obama

  Well LeCastor, I did include a link in my previous post as to why Hillary's health care plan has its problems

  I honestly think he's more progressive and his campaign reflects this: it's grassroots and make savvy use of the Internet. It's what Howard Dean's candidacy showed glimpses until it disastrously imploded. That, and Obama is drawing in huge numbers of young voters and garnering the support of broad swaths of independent and Republican voters. He's chipping away at HRC's base of supporters and winning decisively in states that will be key for a Democrat to win this fall (it will take more than coastal victories to win the general election).

  And yeah, charisma has something to do with it. That's not a small thing. Bill Clinton certainly didn't hurt from having it.

  How else are you supposed to interpret "Wake up, people" and "Sometimes I think I'm the only sane person around"?! This isn't based on your being a supporter of HRC, but your belittling what other people say. If HRC wins the nomination, I would urge every Democrat to vote for her because that's what ultimately matters: that a Democrat is president.
