Austin State Senator for Obama
State Senator Kirk Watson, D-Austin, officially came out in support of Barack Obama for president today. He was a big Edwards backer for the last two presidential cycles but now that Edwards is out, Watson says Obama is the best choice. His full statement is here, but here's the last part:
At this unique moment in our history, Senator Obama is focused on possibilities, not politics. He offers solutions that will unify our country and lead us into the future.Meanwhile, Obama is up on the air on KVUE now, and our sales folk say Clinton will be on the air in Austin TOMORROW.Perhaps most of all, he knows that hope matters.
Senator Obama offers hope – for peace, for security, for unity, for real solutions that address real needs, and for a nation that honors and fulfills the value of every one of us.
That hope is real, and it is important. It matters and has always mattered, but it has never mattered more than it does now.
