why do you support Obama? Try to keep it short on platitudes and long on concrete facts and things
I know this wasn't addressed to me, but how's this:
He's a Constitutional Law Scholar.
He's shown a willingness to listen to and propose new ideas.
He hires knowledgeable professors to advise him.
He began his career working for the less fortunate.
He is clearly a Progressive.
He is an excellent Orator and since much of a President's job is communicating ideas to the public, this is important.
He is clearly inspiring.
He is proposing a break from Bush's policies. His opponant, should he win the nomination, promises more of the same.
Does Clinton offer many of these same features? Yes. I'll be voting for whichever is the nominee in the Fall. Why did I pick him in the Primary? Edwards was out and Obama is a better speaker and is a Constitutional Law Scholar. It was a close choice.
