Do we really need to be worried about him?No, but you might start getting concerned about that aroma of ozone building in the air.

Well, I don't think so. If this is the best face they can come up with then I think we don't need to worry too much.
I seriously question if Obama is in as good a position to win this seat as many people seem to think. I don't know, but blacks don't win Senate seats very often and his ethnicity could turn off many white (and Hispanic) voters in November. It's a simple fact.

Do we really need to be worried about him? I suppose that may depend upon who you mean by "we."

Being "quixotic" according to
Salon must be new word for
conservative.

Are you implying that I should be kicked off for talking about this guy?

State Senator Barack Obama, D-Chicago, announced his candidacy for U.S. Senate on Tuesday. Pictured in front row from left to right are State Senator and Lake County Democrat Chairman Terry Link, former Chicago Bears star Chris Zorich, Obama, Congressman Danny Davis and State Senator Jacquelyn Collins. Also endorsing Obama at the downtown Chicago event were Senate President Emil Jones and State Senator and Reverend James Meeks.

You are quite the detective aren't you? I read this site every day, so it really isn't the the secret code you think it is. Now, do you want to talk about this or not? No one is forcing you.

No one is forcing you.And your very first post is from Salon.com, but you can't possibly understand why someone might think you're trolling.
Don't worry, if you are a troll pretending to be a conservative, or a prior banee who is returning and pretending to be a newbie, you'll out yourself soon enough.

Paranoid much? I've seen hundreds of trolls come and go (usually quickly) on FR. When someone's first post is from a liberal source, there is a good chance they are a troll. Since you've read this site every day, I figure you would have known that.
Holy cats man, relax a little and you'll live longer.
Troll hunting is quite relaxing. No bag limit and they're always in season.
Again I'll ask, do you want to talk about this or not?
I think Obama will probably win. The Illinois GOP is a royal mess nowadays.
There, do you feel better?

Thanks! Salon's unusual choice of words about him got me curious, and a Google search did the rest. Shame this guy is "retiring."
