So, I really like Obama a lot, and I've been thinking a lot about why that is. Don't get me wrong, I'm not completely in one boat or another. I've really liked Edwards recently, even though I can't seem to get over my persistent disappointment from his performance in the 2004 election. Anyway, Daily Kos has a pretty great post up right now that provides some interesting discussion of the Obama phenomena. It delves into some of the reasons why he's exciting, but it also provides two really solid points about questions he (or we all) needs to figure out about what he wants to accomplish and how to realistically go about achieving the lofty and inspiring goals he sets forth. I found it to be a very good read, and I hope you do to:

Enjoy!
