Lifting the Entire Ticket and Winning the White House

[mikekohr]

Two months worth of primaries, caucuses, and nearly a year of polling data have pointed to the inescapable conclusion that Senator Barack Obama is the candidate that has the demonstrated ability to lift ALL Democratic candidates in November's general election, Saturday's special election in Illinois House District 18, to replace the nation's longest serving Republican Speaker of the House in history, shows Democrats the three things needed to put a stake in the black heart of the Republican Party.

#1). -Capitalize on voters desire for reform and change- The utter disgust of Illinois voters with the corruption in the Republican leadership helped propel Bill Foster to a stunning upset victory to replace fatass Dennis Hastert.

#2). -Organization + Strong Candidates- I've met Representative-elect Foster. Bill is a smart, reform minded, ethical, man and an brilliant candidate who developed his own computerized system to get out the vote. Congratulations to Mr Foster and best wishes. Mr. Foster deserves full credit for this stunning upset.

#3). -A Top of the Ticket Candidate that Cuts Across Party Lines- The endorsement and media ads featuring Senator Barack Obama touting the qualifications of Bill Foster probably played a big part in Foster's upset victory in a rock-ribbed Republican district. Obama has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to attract independents, moderates AND Republican votes, demographics critical to winning the White House and lifting the entire Democratic ticket in ALL 50 states.

If you want to reduce the Republican presence in Washington this fall, and cast them into history's trash bin of failed political movements, Obama is the candidate at the top of our ticket that will all but ensure that happens.
