Thanks Boo, I rec'd this over at orange but needto come back to the pond more often with writing like this. I'm amazed. Haven't seen anything like this since Bobby Kennedy. This is going to be one heck of a ride. You're right, it's going to be a blowout and we have every reason to rejoice. What an opportunity.

I wanted Gore to get in. I was wrong. Obama is better, his campaign has done a terrific job and it's going to get better. I realized over Christmas break (I went to undecided in Nov) that what was holding me back was Kennedy. I was in  HS stumping for McCarthy but Bobby was great and then gone. I dropped out for at least 10 yrs. I was holding back 'cause I realized I might actauly Like Obama. I'm not worried, I'm hugely encouraged. What an impact he will have on the Senate races? It's all very very good.

what exactly changed your mind or put you in the Obama camp? I am not trying to be sarcastic or anything, I truly want to know. People keep saying they now want Obama but don't say why. I am confused.

What changed my mind is I realized what was holding me back..see the first post..and when I realized that and let that go, relatively easy decision.

I like Edward's positions now but wish he had them when he ran as VP. I wish he had not only voted for the war but actively supported. He can change, he can have a new position but that was a key. I see Obama as leading a movement, not just a candidacy and I'm thrilled by the effect that is having (increasing turnout, bringing new voters, etc). Hope that helps
