I can't even tell you how many posts I read by hand-wringing Democrats who are so tremendously troubled by the fact that Republicans seem to like Obama, by the fact that it's the young people who form the base of Obama's support, by the "emotion", by the "herd-like mentality".

Obama was a Constitutional Law Professor. We are in a time of consitutional crisis. Obama was a community organizer. We are in a time of chronic division. Obama tells us he'll speak to nations this current administration has sent to the corner. Hillary tells us thinking differently than Bush is naive. Obama stated before this war began that it was a dumb war, and that he won't maintain these policies. Bush wants to attack Iran. Does Hillary contradict that? Does McCain?

It's pretty clear to a lot of us what we want from our next President on day one. And it's pretty clear to a lot of us who we need to vote for, and what we need to say to that candidate, to get that.
