Mon Feb 04 09:45:13 begrudgingly for Obama:

It has not yet been a week since my favorite candidate has dropped out, but I figure I need to get over it, given voting day is tomorrow.  Unfortunately, it appears Obama is the most progressive viable candidate.

Here are some of my reservations:

-Accepted big money from coal and nuclear industries (and voting for liquified coal)

-Politician out of Chicago

-His 'inspirational' victory speeches have been little more to me than him stating how impressed he is that he won. Seems like masses/media may have been impressed with his style over substance.

Why I am supporting Obama:

-Sadly, after 8 years of GWB, he is the most progressive candidate

-I am categorically opposed to the Bush/Clinton Dynasty. However, even more distrubing, if McCain is the Republican nominee, I don't think it would even come to that.

-Obama seems quite competent, and speaks against cronyism, which has plagued the current White House

Things I HOPE for:

I hope we see JRE resurface soon.  I hope there is a real progressive change. I hope the influence of mult-billion dollar corporations will diminish with the next administration.
