Obama's moment: On Tuesday,
Democrats should dare to be different

The tens of thousands of young voters who have flocked to the Democrats in recent months were not attracted by the magic of Hillary Clinton. The great mass of defecting Republicans, many of them women, who in their hunger for leadership changed their registrations, did not come for her either.

They came for Barack Obama, a history-making African-American man of all the people. Those who fear him -- not just Republicans but, sadly, other Democrats -- have been furiously trying to come up with a plausible narrative to diminish him. With Lilliputian zeal, they try rope after little rope to tie down the unexpected giant in their midst. This pathetic impulse feeds on the internecine war of the interminable primaries.

Tuesday can put a stop to it. If Mrs. Clinton loses, she loses the last justification for keeping her candidacy alive.

With Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama differing little on the issues, Democrats can dare to be different and vote for the truly fresh force in this race, the one who has sparked an excitement and energy not seen since the Kennedy years. The bold choice is Barack Obama, who is uniquely placed to bridge America's most bitter divisions. History now calls on Pennsylvania to lead this nation into the future -- and all it requires is the courage to believe.

i'm here to tell ya, the "courage to believe" is a lot bigger deal than it sounds...
