Obama is so hip-hop.

Never has a candidate polarized a party during my voting lifetime. A few months ago, there would have been no doubt there was going to be a new Clinton White House. Now with Obama gaining ground in the past few months, it has become evident that a change is gonna come.

Clinton-Obama. Obama-Clinton. Clinton is banking on experience and establishing policy goals going into the nomination. Obama's policy is outlined on his website but his campaign is built on inspiring speeches. It's a tough decision for the Democrats.

I'm coming from the generation who's very first important election in 2004 immediately made us politically indifferent and made us feel that our votes ultimately did not matter. Now that we have entered the workforce, we have a better understanding of policies and political processes. Still, we have not been let down enough to be realists. We are idealists. We want to see the best in our new leader and I believe Obama represents a new ideology. I mean, his critics judge him on his speeches. That his whole campaign is flash and celebrity. WHAT CANDIDATE HAS NOT USED THIS TACTIC I TELL YOU? The first Clinton campaign banked on that very same ideal.

It's an exciting time. With that said, I believe there will be a resurgence in activism just as there had been back in 1992...the height of the golden age of hip-hop.
