Reasons To Vote For Obama
Number One: He is likely to win.
Who does not want to be with a winner? Despite the obvious Clinton-Gore tensions, even Gore would not directly and publicly endorse him before the numbers were clear to all and all primaries were over.
Number Two: He will usher in more change than any president has for a long time.
That change will not be as complete as many want nor as much as others fear. On balance, his occupancy has a better than even chance to be positive in many ways.
Number Three: He is willing to flip flop.
Any President who is not willing to consider changes based on new information is dangerous. Knowing when to change is the art of the deal on which opposing parties will never agree on.
Number Four: He would bring a gun to the fight.
And maybe he will be adept in sensitive negotiations with a better outcomes. The take no prisoners approach of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld has not worked. They really wish they had taken no prisoners.
Number Five: He will at least temporarily bring a Barack PR Bounce to the US.
That may or may not have any lasting value, but turning down the heat at least for a while will be welcome by most Americans. But he will have to deal with difficult situations, as did Bush.
