i’m by no means an Obama scholar, but I have been watching and reading about as much as I can about the major candidates since late 2007, and I’ve watched bios run on MSNBC and CNN. And, the impression I’ve gotten is that not only has Obama stayed on message from Day One of the presidential campaign, this was the same message he ran on when he ran for the US senate, and before that for the Illinois state senate. And before that when he worked as a community organizer and a civil rights lawyer.
There is this incredible consistency in his passion and purpose. And, this is what has won me over. I’m fairly conservative, so I don’t line up ideology-wise with the standard Democratic mantra, but I’ve got incredible respect for Obama and his consistency, and his judgement and am ready to cast my vote–for the first time ever–for a Dem. candidate for president. Geez, I hope we are smart enough to elect him.
