And for the first time in a presidential election, I’m taking more initiative in the process, with time and funds, to achieve Obama’s vote into office.

His approach for pay equity, for health care, for voter’s rights, for diplomacy-based foreign policy…all with his keen discernment in building a team…warrant my vote.

And he is imperfect as some of your readers have noted here. Yet his ability to demonstrate guts (opposed Iraq’s invasion), ownership (saw the need to include underserved communities in the voting process per his Chicago work), and vision even on sensitive issues (per his address on racial tensions in this country) — I believe he has the mindset, experience, and leadership savvy to reignite this country’s “sense of purpose” (your words).

And considering the Nat’l Organization of Women, the Feminist Majority, and other women’s rights PACs endorsed the Obama/Biden ticket yesterday — a rare endorsement for them in presidential elections — it is evident these groups see Obama as a more credible partner for women and families.

Whew, longwindedly signing off…..JMF.

Obama does certainly represent change, but a more pragmatic approach. Hell, the choice of Biden as a VP was awesome. It shows that Obama’s going to be at the helm, while Biden’s got Congress on lock-down.

Good choice Geoff. This, coming from a former Republican (who also happened to work for George Allen back in the day).
