Let's get past identity politics here. I'm proud of Hillary Clinton (I voted for her in 2000) and I'm proud of Barack Obama. I'm supporting Obama because in our form of democracy, the only way to create real change is for people to rise up and demand it, loudly and continuously, holding their representatives accountable and getting directly involved -- not just in elections but in the whole damn thing. Obama has shown his ability to move people and get them to stand up and believe that change is possible again. There are no guarantees whenever you're up against entrenched power, but chipping away at the margins seems to me the wrong way to go about change. We need to attack full-scale. Welcome aboard!
