An Important Victory

Following the victory, albeit narrow, of Hillary Clinton in Ohio and Texas, I think it is important to consider why Barack Obama is the better choice. On the simplest level, polls show that Barack Obama would beat John McCain in a hypothetical general election. If the only goal is to have a Democrat in the White House: Barack Obama is the better choice. The choice, however, is much more significant than that. The future of our country, and it will be ours sooner than we care to think, is at stake. I could write an essay length post on why Barack Obama is a better choice regarding policy, character and diplomacy, but professor of law at Stanford, Lawrence Lessig, does a great job of making those points clear in this short film.
