The statistics clearly show how important this Presidential race is to Americans. Record numbers of voters are turning up to vote and political debates rage in even the smallest of circles. Everyone it seems has an opinion, I suppose it is my turn to voice my own.

It is no secret, I am a Barack Obama supporter. I find his unique approach on politics not only refreshing but incredibly promising for the future of America. Barack’s race has very little to do with race or religious preference, it would make little difference to me if he were white, purple, pink, female, muslim, christian, etc. It is his efforts and ability to enlist those around him that truly helps me to believe he will actually enact changes in our country.

I take great issue with comments that are made regarding his inexperience and how that will detract from his ability to change things in Washington. I tend to believe that his inexperience is actually an asset. Only someone who is not entirely immersed in politics as they have always been will be able to crack it wide open and make a difference.

Beyond that I hope that Americans are also watching, not just listening to what is being thrown out by other candidates and news stations. Barack Obama’s obvious ability to implement change is all around us and often left out of the news and other media sources or only briefly mentioned.

Barack has brought this election where it belongs, to the people. His my.barackobama.com and other areas of barackobama.com are ingenious ways of harnessing the power of the internet to enlist help from those who wish to do so and to utilize a medium familiar to most Americans. The election is decided by voters, it naturally should be put on their turf.

His direct approach to campaign financing once again should be proof of who it is that belongs in charge of our country. An unprecedented number of individuals have personally donated to his campaign, eliminating large lobbies and corporations from having influence in the race and what is done should the nomination and presidential race be won.

What I find most interesting is the other candidates surrounding him, only minor flaws or “dirt” has been found and in using it as fuel, the candidates in question have actually done themselves more harm than Obama. Barack tends to be very open about his associations, choices and in general who he is. Another refreshing addition to politics.

I am glad to see thus far Obama has been able to avoid participating in the major smear campaigns so typical of politics and hope that he is not forced to do so in order to defend himself.

While I have no delusions and understand completely he is still a politician in a political race and with a desire to win, I am thoroughly impressed by the changes and directions his form of politics are taking. I believe he is the only candidate on the ballot who WILL enact the changes in our country that are so desperately overdue and the proof is in his campaign.
