What makes it marginally of interest for me to support Sen. Obama's presidential campaign has nothing to do with his proposed and/or supported policies (he often manages to make me think twice about supporting his campaign with his extremist pronouncements like "I will keep embargo on Cuba"), but rather the perceived effect the campaign has had on the grassroots organizing.
The organizing momentum of the campaign may result in a genuine and sustained grassroots movement for a positive change, regardless of how unprogressive Sen. or Pres. Obama may end up being, which may really live on as a bottom-up sort of phenomenon, the only one that can work for the masses.
Keep up the pressure.
