A democrats who believes in democratic principles and in working across the aisle! -

There is a great article in yesterday's New York Times that analyzes Obama's voting record in the Illinois State Senate.

They found:
"In all, Obama's record from nearly eight years in the Illinois Senate suggests someone who believes strongly that government can make life better for people, whether by offering financial help, banning dangerous guns or providing health care.

But Obama, now the Democratic candidate for president, was no ideologue. He often cooperated with Republican lawmakers, co-sponsoring their legislation and working with them on compromises."

Sounds like just the kind of person I want as our president!
