Poll question: How perfect a candidate is Obama for you?
As you know, there is no perfect candidate.

In particular, a 100% perfect for everybody candidate.

When I think of Obama's remarkable campaign, two words come to mind - "unity" and "change".

No red states, no blues states...but the United States. For Obama to truly be the unity candidate, he will not campaign either from or exclusively for the left. Real "change" would be to win with a diverse electorate. In fact, if Obama were to win with a rethug, Independent, and Democratic coalition, it would be a remarkable CHANGE.
He may not be the perfect candidate, who is?

But he is 100% better than the alternative in McBush, and he will get 100% of my vote!
