If Obama can inspire a Republican in Utah, you have to wonder what he can accomplish if President.
From the Salt Lake Tribune:
I respectfully disagree with The Tribune's endorsement of Sen. Hillary Clinton ("Hillary Clinton: N.Y. senator is best choice among Democrats," Our View, Jan. 26). I am a Republican who will be supporting Sen. Barack Obama in the upcoming primary.
Obama has just as much legislative experience as Clinton, with over a decade in the Illinois Legislature. He also was involved in "real world" politics while Clinton has been detached from middle-class America for the majority of her life.
Obama inspires me, while Clinton turns me to cynical thoughts. Clinton should have lived up to her pledge not to campaign in Florida. She's hoping to pull a quick one and get the disqualified delegates from Florida to be counted at the last minute. Shame on the Clintons for their dirty politics.
Obama has more national appeal than Clinton, and I believe Obama will be the agent of real change. When a lower-class boy without a father can rise to the heights in our country, that's the American Dream that I still subscribe to.

I am a registered Republican living in Utah (although I think of myself as an independant) and more and more Obama is my man. I also agree that he looks like the candidate that can bring about the most change and be in touch with "the people". my concerns are about more about foreign policy and how he will do in that area. bottom line I think we need something completely different than a Clinton, what did they really accomplish anyway? oh, an impeachment, I remember now.
