Heads up! Today is the last day for early voting!
I love early voting. It's so much simpler to go to which ever polling place you want on whatever day you want. I cast my ballot yesterday. For Obama, if you're curious.
I think Hillary Clinton is too politically timid to try to tackle the biggest issues of the day with the kind of sweeping changes we need. I also think that the political rancor that surrounds her would make it near impossible for her to achieve major reforms even if she did pursue them.
Barack Obama, on the other hand, has the idealism to shoot for the stars--as well as the intelligence, passion, and goodwill necessary to achieve his goals. Not that he'll win every battle, but I believe he'll be bolder and more successful than Clinton would be.
Less important (but not unimportant), Obama can challenge McCain for the moderates and undecideds in a way Clinton cannot. If the GOP nominates McCain, Obama is our best shot. If it's Romney, I think either Obama or Clinton will wipe the floor with him.

You're on the money. I was an Edwards supporter, but now have moved to Obama. His speech in South Carolina won me over.
And, you're right, Obama has the best chance to win against McCain.
