Of course you're going to vote Obama...

...because he inspires hope.
...because he has grace.
...because he doesn't polarize—Conservatives will never vote for Clinton, but they just might vote for Obama.
...because he's the first viable candidate not to have lived through WWII, Viet Nam or Korea.
...because he's eloquent.
...because he's affable.
...because he has integrity.
...because he'll tell you the truth without spinning it.
...because he's the guy you'd want to be sitting across the table with America's most intractable opponents.
...because it's not about experience—it's about good judgement (they said Cheney had experience and look how that turned out.)
...because he has an excellent chance of getting into the White House (i.e. he's not Ralph Nader, Ross Perot, Fred Thompson, etc.)
...because he's popular for a reason. (see above)

...because he's a clean slate, an opportunity to walk away from the past, to forge a fresh, new path.

It's not about skin color, or gender—it's about hope.

You're going to vote for Obama because he stirs something inside you:
...unity
...hope
...civic duty
...tolerance
...compassion

...and perhaps even patriotism, too.
