Why Obama is the only healthy, positive choice for the party now.

[Ken Burch]

1) Obama is the only one who can now be nominated by positive, rather than negative appeals.

2) Obama is the only one who's nomination EXPANDS our voting base.

3) Obama has at least some independence from the Beltway and is the only one whose victory will allow the space for party reform.

4) Obama is the only one who actually inspires enthusiasm. A candidate no one feels enthusiasm or, yes, hope, when thinking about can't win. Mondale, Dukakis, Gore in 2000 and Kerry prove this.

Let's find unity. Let's win.

Let's take our party away from the Beltway and give it back to the people.
