Over the past few weeks, I've talked about the primary choice for Democrats with a number of my friends and colleagues. The basic question has always been the same: "Why are you supporting Barack, Phil?" My answer is always the same to: "Because he's the candidate who inspires me." His story, his ideas, his message, and his vision — these are all things that I want for America. I don't dislike Sen. Clinton; quite the contrary, I respect her record a great deal, and am proud to have her represent my state in the United States Senate. However, I am supporting Barack Obama because he inspires me. I believe he has the character and judgment to lead this country at a time when we need true visionary leadership in the Oval Office.
After hearing reports from friends in the field who are working on the Obama campaign, I've got a lot of hope today for the Potomac Primary. They're fired up; they're working hard; they're finding a groundswell of support out there among men and women who want change and leadership too.
