I voted for Obama in the California Super Tuesday Primary.  When I woke up this morning, I still didn't know who I was going to vote for.  What pushed me over the edge was an article I read in the Economist detailing some of the Clinton machine's thuggish campaigning, and Bill's attempt to make the election about him.  

I have doubts about Obama's experience and toughness, but there's no doubting his talent.  Anybody who looks at his record can have no doubt - the man is supremely talented, and seems to inspire others like few other politicians in our generation.  To come from nothing to be editor of the Harvard Law Review, and then to the pinnacle of American politics is absolutely an embodiment of the American dream.  Whether or not you feel he is ready to be president, how can you not be impressed by this man.

I'm tired of the Clinton / Bush partisan wars, and it's time to move on.  Obama has been hammering the message of post partisanship, and it's one that I feel pretty strongly about.

As an independent, I considered voting on the Republican ticket - but I feel that McCain has CA pretty much wrapped up.  My vote carries more weight on the Democratic side.

Whoever emerges from today as the favorites from their respective party, we are going to see a substantial improvement over our current leadership.  I couldn't be happier with the choices of Romney / McCain / Clinton / Obama - they're all talented, and they all bring something unique to the table.
