In support of Barack Obama for president

I don't normally talk much about politics on my blog, because honestly, I don't spend a lot of my spare time thinking about politics. But this presidential election cycle is different - this election is important - potentially the most important election that we've had in decades. The country is truly, perilously, on the wrong track. And it is super-important to get the right candidate out of the primaries, so that we can all vote in November.

And I feel that the right person for the job is Barack Obama.

Not only do I feel like Barack is the best candidate in a wide field of candidates - I think that he's possibly the best candidate that we've seen for president in a long, long time.

No candidate is perfect, they all have flaws. But when I look at all of the contenders, I think that Barack is clearly the best. I like his ideas. I like his passion - the passion that he brings when speaking about America, and the challenges that lie ahead. I think that the country is ready to move forward, and that he's the guy.

But when I heard that Barack is actually trailing in the polls leading up to Super Tuesday, I did something that I haven't done before - I started putting some time towards this. Today, I dug into my voter registration situation - I have moved so many times within California, that it is a bit funked up. I confirmed that it's too late to get my registration fixed up properly before Tuesday, but that since all of my moves have been within one town (Sunnyvale), I'll be able to go ahead and vote anyway.

So, I'll be voting on Tuesday, and I hope that you all will too. There is a lot at stake in this election - and I'm really hoping that we can come together, and get America back moving in the right direction.

-Andy.
