Today those of us in Pennsylvania have the rare opportunity to weigh in on who will be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. Most years the nominee has been decided long before our primary so this is a very special and important day for us. Personally I decided quite a while ago to support Barack Obama, but many of us here in the office wrestled for quite a while with the decision, and at least one of us only finally decided this morning.

In the end we each decided to vote for Barack Obama, but we’ve had a number of engaging, long, and sometimes heated discussions here about who we’d all eventually vote for. And what’s remarkable to me is that even though we each started in very different places the Obama campaign’s policies, tone, message, and of course Barack himself were able to inspire a lot of enthusiasm and optimism that he’ll actually be able to pull this off and be the president we’re hoping for.

The time is now! Vote today!
