Why Barack Obama in 2008!!

So basically what you're saying is that he's the anti-christ? Beguiling and charming the masses on his way to ultimate power? Thanks for the succinct warning, 12th!

You heard it hear first, just remember that 724!

obamas lack of experience is what bothers me, not the color of his skin. but it would be refreshing to hear more from someone other than the good, old rich boys network

John McCain in '08. Exactly what we need: a moderate.

This country is way too polarized, there aren't enough people willing to meet in the middle. We need that more than anything these days.

i agree with the moderate thing, but man, i lost much of the respect i had for McCain when his republican masters made him change his original maverick tune a couple months ago. reminded me that he's just another politcian.

I disagree that the country isn't ready for a minority president, whether the candidate be black or female...or whatever.

We all know that minorities, particularly the Hispanic population, are the fastest growing group within the United States. Issues like gay rights, a woman's right to choose, and the immagration (sp) issue are at the forefront of topics today. The reason these are important, I think, is that some may perceive a minority or a woman candidate as more 'in touch' with these issues, and more apt to approach them with the right mindset.

One thing's for sure, Obama has drawn huge crowds wherever he goes, unlike any other Democrat currently, Hillary included. His first book has been a hit, and his second one is it's way. And as far as raising money, from what I've read, he has the potential to be a cash raising machine. Now if there is any indication, key work indication, of how viable a candidate may be, his ability to raise money is vital.

There are so many things in his favor right now that, in my opinion, he absolute has to make a run at the White House. The chances of him being this hot again in his political career are slim to none.

i hope you're right 12th, i really do. it would be nice to see, but i think the long embedded powers that be here have an influence in this country we can't really fathom.

....And it could very well be Obama's lack of experience that could play to his advantage if he campaigns effectively. The longer one stays in Washington (i.e. Senate), the more likely dirty politics will become attached to that individual. This, in my opinion, will be part of Obama's appeal as he moves further into, what I feel will be, a presidential candicy.

Look, there's no denying that this would be unprecedented by all stretches of the imagination. However, if you look at what this nation has gone through, starting with 9/11, we've seen a string of unprecented events, on the political front and otherwise.

I think what could very well end up happening is that both he and Hillary end up on the same ticket. One being nominated as the Pres. candidate and the other VP.

I'm sorry but what experience did Clinton or Bush have? What we need is independent individual with integrity and initiative. Sadly, everyone who goes to Washington turns into callous, corrupt and conceited coward.

Self preservation is the name of the game. Like all politicians he toes the party line when put out to dry.
