Reply #92: Obama is invigorating future democrats

[Umbram]

Any of the individuals who ran as Dem nominees would have made a good president, I believe. Hell, I wish we could take some of the best elements from all of them.

What does Obama bring to the table beyond that?

He is inspiring the future democratic volunteers, workers, and leaders of America! He is making politics exciting to individuals who have been apathetic or otherwise indifferent.

True - some of his supporters are young and don't know their elbow from their ear, but none of us did at some point. Somewhere along the line, politics became important to us and something worth fighting for. Obama moves people - so what if it is pure speech - that is how it starts.

If Obama loses the nomination, I still think he played an important roll in the future of our party by inspiring a new generation of young Dems.
