It’s now officially Super Tuesday and I hope yer all planning to go out’n vote.

This is the most incredible campaign I’ve ever witnessed and I feel so lucky to be alive for it.

As many of you know, I’ve been supporting and working for Barack Obama. Many people have asked me why.

For me, it all comes down to one thing: the war in Iraq. Unlike Hillary Clinton, who initially voted for the measure that initiated the war, supported it when it was popular, and now is calling to end it now that it’s unpopular, Obama has ALWAYS spoken out against this war. He spoke out against it when he was first elected to the U.S. Senate, back when that was considered political suicide, and he is still speaking out against it now.

Furthermore, Obama has won the respect of my four favorite politicians: he has been endorsed by George McGovern, John Kerry, and Ted Kennedy; he has also been highly praised by Jimmy Carter (who doesn’t officially endorse candidates out of respect for his non-profit organizations).

And for those who say that Obama is too inexperienced, I say this: counting his time in the Illinois State Legislature, he has served as a senator for over twenty years; also, as Obama himself has said, this is his time - another 100 more votes over the next four years won’t prepare him any more for this office.

And for those who say that Obama is too young, I say this: at 46, he is already three years older than JFK was at inauguration, four years older than Teddy Roosevelt at inauguration, and the same age as Bill Clinton at inauguration.

These are exciting times to be an American; as John F. Kennedy once spoke of a torch being passed to a new generation, I believe that with Barack Obama, the torch is being passed once again.

Eric.
