... most of all, voters look for signs of good judgment ...

Thus, the issue for voters is less about specifics and more about which candidate seems better prepared to deal with these complex issues, to seek the best advice and think the problems through and to adapt to the circumstances in applying a solution.

We believe that candidate is Barack Obama. The Illinois senator's educational background, his varied life experiences and his proven ability to organize, energize and lead -- as shown in an amazingly successful primary election campaign against the Clinton machine -- will serve him well as the nation's chief executive at this critical time in our history.
