Headline:

Experience matters. But it's not everything.

Punchline

But in one key aspect, Obama stands above. In 2002, when war fever gripped the nation and Democrats lined up behind President Bush and his war of choice in Iraq, Obama spoke against it. It's true, he was not in the U.S. Senate, and therefore was not under the pressure his counterpart faced. But there is no excusing Sen. Clinton for supporting a war for what was, to all appearances, political expediency. Obama's desire for higher office was apparent even then, but he did not fall into that trap.

Payoff

Combined with his sound judgment and political skills, he has the potential to be a president who ushers our nation into a new era.

Solid

The Recorder

Barack Obama is the best hope for the Democratic Party to regain control of the White House in November and change the errant path of our country. Many of his detractors raise questions about his lack of experience, having only been a Senator since 2004. However, this is his greatest strength, as those more acquainted with Washington seem to become more and more devoted to the special interest groups and partisan politics that currently divide our nation.

Another great Endorsement

One major difference is the Iraq war, which Clinton and John Edwards voted to authorize. America is hungry for a candidate that can bring them closer together instead of divide them, and Barack Obama is the best man for the job.

40/40 in Connecticut for how much longer?

What will Hillary do? Channel Joementum?

Lastly, if you live in Connecticut, please note that Michelle Obama is visiting you tomorrow in Greenwich & Stamford, CT

PS: Have you bought your friends and Family a Barack DVD?
