A Change Would Do You Good

No, it's not what you are thinking. This isn't a post about that Sheryl Crow song. (Although I wouldn't mind hearing the Obama camp use the song at rallies) The following is an excerpt from an article I just read on The Huffington Post. It sums my feelings up for the Clinton campaign. Weeks ago I was a Hillary supporter, but she has gone far enough and slung too much mud. This country doesn't need another polarizing president dividing us. We need change.

Every day, one is struck by the (one-sided) viciousness in this fight. Six bloody weeks of it to go? Six weeks of coarsening opportunistic soulless nastiness. And the effect? Hillary Clinton's unfavorable rating amongst Obama supporters continues to rise according to the Wall Street Journal/MSNBC poll released tonight. The reverse is not true. And her coalition of white women and white blue-collar workers is unlikely to surge the way that young people and African-Americans are surging towards Obama. Those Americans -- the African-Americans who have been turned off by politics as usual and by total exclusion, the young who have been so disgusted by war-mongering and corruption so evident in the smug faces of those in power -- finally see in Obama something of the best in themselves, and something to aspire to: Idealism, dignity, hope, matched by strength and stoicism. Matched by a very keen sense of how to work the system.
