cellioBarack Obama's speech today really spoke to me. He has articulated many of the problems we face as a country, without sinking into us-versus-them mode. Lots of politicians have claimed to be uniters, but this one seems to actually have that clue. Go, read.
Aside from major deal-killers, more than specific issues, I judge candidates for executive offices on their visions, their passions, and their characters. I had already registered as a Democrat to vote against one candidate in next month's primary; it's refreshing to find myself wanting to vote for somebody. (I don't know how I'll vote in November, but I don't have to decide that any time soon.)
