I remember discussing during the '04 election cycle the fact that the only chance Democrats have is to have a southern gentleman at the head of the ticket. This is a perfect chance to break that cycle and I'm looking forward to it.

I don't think Obama is a perfect candidate, I don't think such a person exists. What I do think, and some of you may remember me stating months ago that I didn't see myself casting a vote for president in 2008, is that Obama is a sensible, level-headed man who understands that new ways of thinking are not inherently harmful, will surround himself with people who both he and the country can trust to teach him what he doesn't have experience with, is a diplomat rather than a divider, and will restore our country to its proper place as one of the foremost members of a cooperative global community. If I were a religious person, I would be praying for the Obama/Richardson ticket that I said would be ideal way back when Richardson was a Clinton supporter and everyone told me it wouldn't happen. I'm too cynical to have high hopes, but I have hope that an Obama White House can fix some of the bad things that have happened to our country.
