Obama can unite nation (AZ Republic)
{b}Obama's call for Americans to believe in their power to change things is Kennedy-esque in its idealism. But it is also solidly rooted in an understanding of how badly the nation needs to remember its true strengths. He wants to provide tools, such as an accessible Internet database of lobbyist activities, to bring more openness to government and encourage public participation.

Obama represents a fresh, optimistic approach. His youthful voice calls for fundamental changes and a return to "an America that believes again." His oratory soars. While talk alone isn't enough, it has been a very long time since Americans had a leader who appealed to their better nature.

Democrats would do well to let Barack Obama carry their hopes into November. {/b}

1. At what cost?
I for one do not want to be united with Republicans. Seriously. I don't want to compromise over here in far-right territory.

3. Isn't the AZ Republic a right wing tool?
Also, I have nothing against a President who can unite a nation as long as that uniting doesn't involve allowing the Republicans to use the Democrats for a door mat like Congress is doing today. I mean really was it really uniting for Congressional Democrat to rubber stamp a conservative stimulus package for the economy that has failed in the past and will fail again because the core issues of why the economy is failing is because of conservative policies?

4. While I prefer Edwards....Obama can unite the Dems....Hillary can only divide.
No matter how it's spun Hillary is a very divisive candidate to both party and country.

Obama at least brings a sense of hope and represents something new while Hillary is a remnant of the past and a symbol of Washington insiders.
