Reply #37: It's clearly not just young people

however, there were a lot of people who turned out in 2008 that were very excited about Obama and got engaged in the process because of him. That was great, and there was a lot of energy. But I think those people, especially newcomers to politics, should now consider that they are in partnership with Obama. He can't do it alone, and there is a lot of negative energy on the other side to fight him.

Obama was not my first choice of candidate, but I have tried to support him, and I have not even missed a local election since he came to office. I certainly wouldn't miss one for senate.
