"Experience" By Matthew from California - Sep 23rd, 2007 at 6:31 pm EDT

We need to stop with the "experience does not matter" crap, because it does.

Obama's superior level of experience as it relates to the job of President is one of The Candidate's biggest advantages.

Remember that Hillary's only political experience is legislative, and that her legislative experience is not as lengthy as Barack's. Also, Read More »

Why Obama Won the Dartmouth Debate (by Kobi)

Why Barack Obama Won the Dartmouth Debate
By Kobi Little - Sep 27th, 2007 at 5:06 am EDT

Despite some of the media hype, Barack Obama won the Dartmouth Democratic Debate by making three separate commitments that went unanswered by his primary opponents.

He made a commitment to employ personal presidential diplomacy to resolve conflict. While he didn’t say it, the other candidates’ silence on the issue tells us that only Barack Obama can provide the personal diplomacy that we need at home and abroad!

He made a commitment to use his experience to lead America. Barack Obama has the experience America needs and he discussed his experience bringing people together, his experience standing up to special interests and his experience speaking truth to the American people.

He made a commitment to usher in an era of tolerance, reason and hope and to stop the politics of fear, conflict and division.

Even though he was struggling with a cold, the clear, strong message of Barack’s commitments simply overpowered the other candidates’ comments, claims and theatrics. Those in the press and elsewhere who looked for Obama to engage in political showmanship were probably disappointed, because he just didn’t put on a show.

Instead, Barack Obama offered his ideas for turning the page on this dreadful chapter in American history and articulated his vision for advancing America’s prosperity and in so doing he won the debate. Read More »

State of the Campaign

When we got into this race as a largely unknown candidate new to the national political stage, we never expected that nine months later at this stage of the race, we would be in a tight three way race in Iowa; leading in the money race; have the largest grassroots organization in modern political history; and have an organizational advantage in the early states and February 5 over a quasi-incumbent from the most powerful political machine in modern political history.

Barack is the candidate with the message and biography that is most in synch with the electorate – according to a Gallup poll in September Democratic voters prefer change to experience by a margin of 73 percent to 26 percent.

The Obama campaign has: the largest organizations with the most experienced staff and enthusiastic volunteers in the 4 early states;

An unexpected financial advantage that allows the campaign to compete in multiple contests at the same time;

The most donors by far in the race, who as the election draws nearer will get even more active on our behalf, giving us financial sustainability;

A significant organizational advantage in February 5th states.
