I know I have been an Obama supporter. I vastly prefer him over Mrs. Clinton. All Clinton had going for me was her former fight for healthcare (but then she abandoned it) and her husband (who as an attack dog for her is losing my respect).
I've always liked Edwards. His climb from modest means to who he is today is a great story. More importantly, his constant focus on poverty really drew me in.
So why Obama? Simple. Change. Charisma. The man, as he is starting to claim, is our generations JFK. I believe he can unite. All along everyone has had to know that Edwards just wouldn't make it. I wouldn't want anyone less as a Vice-President though. Hopefully, he can make it there, then maybe make it into the presidency from there. Not likely, that how things used to be, but its rarer these days.
My only complaint is there are no pro-life Dems. If there were, they'd have the race, every race against Republicans, hands down.
