Beware the O-Bomb
If you are not aware yet I must tell you that I am supporting Barack Obama in the Democrat Primary. I like the guy cause he is inexperienced. That's right! He is not the political sharks that Hillary and Cheney are. He is willing to work with Republicans to get something done. But most importantly his vision (which I know can not fully come to fruition) is one that gives Americans hope and brings us together rather then driving us apart. Hillary can not do this. But McCain has a descent chance at at least inspiring the Independents.
I believe that Clinton's momentum is slowing while Barack has revved up. After Super Fat Tuesday the US knows that the Dem candidates are both viable. Nearly tied in delegates Barack continues to gather money while Clinton is borrowing from herself. Surely contributions come more often to the candidate that looks like the best investment.
Recent CNN poll and a separate Time poll asked how American's would vote between Clinton and McCain. The CNN poll found Clinton 50 McCain 47, with a 3 point margin of error. This margin means that the candidates are virtually tied. The Time poll found both candidates both holding 46 percent, tied.
On the contrary CNN's poll found Obama ahead of McCain by 8 points. That is five points over the margin and clearly a victory. The Time poll also found Obama with a lead, this time of 7 points. What this means to me is that Obama is pulling ahead.
The O-Bomb just recently won 3 more contests in Washington, Louisiana, Maine, and Nebraska as well as getting a victory in the US Virgin Islands. This means that Barack has won 18 states and 1070 delegates. Meanwhile Hillary is ahead of him in delegates with 1095 delegates and 13 states.
Now we need to win Wisconsin and Virginia! Good Luck O-Bomb:)

Besides the compelling reason that he's inexperienced (just kidding), and the fact that he's getting a lot of face time in corporate mainstream media, I'm curious as to why you are choosing Obama?
