I like the inspirational tone of Obama's campaign. It's something badly needed in this country. I agree about his lack of experience being an issue, though. Still, I'd take him over Hillary "Which Way is the Wind Blowing?" Clinton any day, and up until very recently he was my top choice.

Someone whose opinion I value was talking up Bill Richardson a couple of weeks ago, so I took a good look at him for the first time, and - wow. Now, granted, it's a lot easier to chalk up major accomplishments when you haven't spent most of your career in Congress, but even taking that into account, this guy is very much a cut above the rest in terms of experience, and he's proven that he's competent as an executive. I just hope he has more charisma than was apparent in those ads...but then, his political career indicates that he probably does.

Of course I also like his positions, but then they aren't much different from most of the rest of the crop.
