Now I'm really torn. I've had my head around Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee for months now, but the more I see of Obama, the more I think that not only is he more passionate, but I'm starting to believe that he'll be a lot more electable as well.
Watching the Republicans in the brief period between the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, you could see that they were completely unprepared for the idea of an Obama candidacy. After hearing Obama's speeches (even his concession speech after the New Hampshire primary tonight), I think he could light a fire that would sweep the country in a way that Hillary just couldn't.
I don't know if an Obama candidacy or an Obama presidency would work, but I would like to see us get the chance to try. I haven't felt this inspired since I was just a little sprog and Clinton won in 92. It's a strange feeling.
We shall see. Nevada and South Carolina next.
