Bitterly, but audaciously, I cling to Obama [View All]

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

Bitter, because I hate to see yet another great Democratic candidate flattened by the cynical media juggernaut. These fawning, empty sycophants who led us to war are about the last people in the world I am setting up as my moral guardians.

Audacious, because I am not letting it affect me personally. I just don't care about Rev. Wright. It doesn't affect MY vote. It may affect the votes of others. So be it. I will not let the false idol of electability sway me from the only vote I have any control over - my own.

I'm clinging, because he remains my raft of hope for a better world. I still believe that he is by far the best person in the race.
