Here's another essay from dailykos that focuses on Senator Barak Obama and partly explains why I support Obama's candidacy for President of the USA:

Thoughts On The Obama Campaign

Here's an excerpt from that front page diary:
"...I do have an observation about the Obama campaign. I love it. I like the idea of inclusion, of forward looking solutions, and the day when the former Bush administration can be looked back on with the perspective it deserves. And I love, absolutely love, the 2:1 turnout in Iowa, and the 3:2 turnout currently projected for indies from NH voting in the Dem primary over the Republican one.

Win or lose, Obama is running the kind of campaign that will be transformative. What does that mean? It means finding the Holy Grail of politics: getting new people out to vote, while keeping your base intact. Position papers won't do it. The only way to do that is to feel it in your gut...

In order to win, you have to offer a vision of hope, and a sense that the candidate can get us to a better place. The Obama campaign is doing that in a big way. You can feel it when you see the new faces and talk to the new voters. You can get a sense when you hear about the big crowds, though the key there was seen in Iowa (the new folks showed up)...

Do other campaigns have it in them to do it? Show me the voters showing up, and I will write nice things about their campaigns, too. But in the meantime, the GOP has people who alienate Latinos and minorities, and treat 9/11 as a vehicle for personal gain. We have campaigns that bring out new people to vote. I think I'd rather be on our team than their team. And I think we're about to see that America would, too."
