No. I don't want to imply that. Torpedoing someone's character remains a possibility though.

too broad of a brush here

Remember all those types praying for Clinton during his bypass operation thinking he was going to have some kind of conversion

[roses of sharon]

LOL, well since our supposed "conservative" media follows their MSM masters, (as evidenced by this article), I guess it will be so.

Obama in 08, because Madison Ave has more power than National Review! And as evidenced by the last election, conservative and Republican voters vote for whomever or whatever the MSM tells them to.

God Bless America.

The Author of this article would be surprised how much Racism exists within the democrat voter base

Stories about old real estate deals were pretty ineffective at keeping Bill Clinton out of power.

Let me look into my crystal ball for a minute..I see that Hillary and Bill will not let their dreams be put on hold again..They will invite Barack Obama to be Hillary's running partner then on the capaign trail something odd happens and Barack Obama is dead..could it be Hillary and Bill did something to him..Maybe! You will have to read the next chapter to find out..

This is bull,if Barack Obama runs for president he will never make it unless there is some mighty big Muslims involved..Anyway I can predict the future as well as this person that wrote this garbage..

People will not vote to elect someone whose middle name is Hussein.

Sounds like the 60's LSD crowd is at it again. I didn't realize that so many people had their brains fried in the 60's and that includes the Clintons and their Liberal cohorts. Western Civilization is facing a determined enemy and we can't afford to be listening to former Hippies with fried brains.

Even as a running mate Obama can be useful for Hillary, it is important that Republicans drop the nice guy attitude and wreck his public image which is not a hard thing to do.

The horse is out of the barn, and Obama is that horse.

It wasn't anticipated, but Obama is another Bill Clinton, who has come out of no where and taken his party by storm.

The next year should be very interesting. IMO, if team Hillary can find something negative about him, they will leak it out.

If not, then he has a good chance of being the nominee.

The Rats have used and wooed the Black voters and payback is Obama..

What a load of horse feces. I normally enjoy Kevin's columns but this is one of his worst one he's ever written.

People aren't stupid, they're going to see what Obama really stands for (which is nada) and won't vote for him. Obama is angling for a VP slot, that's all.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Don't laugh! We need an experienced man like Osama Obama to lead the country! 8)

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

I'm not convinced Obama will seek the nomination. Suspect Hillary might make him an "offer" to take him as her VP.

That is only if Obama loses the nomination and Hilary wins the nomination. Obama said on Leno last week that if he runs he will run for the presidency, and not VP

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

Anyone who gets in Hil's way will be given a political offer they can't refuse.

Or they will be found in apartments bereft of life.

[Suzy Quzy]

Sadly, Americans have shown they are capable of all things stupid......just not this.....Obama will NEVER be VP or Pres.

[zarf]

The whiteboy media machine is really working overtime to tout their meal ticket!

The following is from a World Net Daily article. Assuming it is accurate, I just don't see evangelicals falling for Obama.

In February 2004, U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, sent a fund-raising letter with the "alarming news" that "right-wing politicians" had passed a law stopping doctors from stabbing half-born babies in the neck with scissors, suctioning out their brains and crushing their skulls.

Michelle called partial-birth abortion "a legitimate medical procedure," and wouldn't supporters please pay $150 to attend a luncheon for her husband, who would fight against "cynical ploy[s]" to stop it? ....

As a nurse at an Illinois hospital in 1999, I discovered babies were being aborted alive and shelved to die in soiled utility rooms. I discovered infanticide.

Legislation was presented on the federal level and in various states called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. It stated all live-born babies were guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection, whether or not they were wanted.

BAIPA sailed through the U.S. Senate by unanimous vote. Even Sens. Clinton, Kennedy and Kerry agreed a mother's right to "choose" stopped at her baby's delivery.

The bill also passed overwhelmingly in the House. NARAL went neutral on it. Abortion enthusiasts publicly agreed that fighting BAIPA would appear extreme. President Bush signed BAIPA into law in 2002.

But in Illinois, the state version of BAIPA repeatedly failed, thanks in large part to then-state Sen. Barack Obama. It only passed in 2005, after Obama left.

I testified in 2001 and 2002 before a committee of which Obama was a member.

Obama articulately worried that legislation protecting live aborted babies might infringe on women's rights or abortionists' rights. Obama's clinical discourse, his lack of mercy, shocked me. I was naive back then. Obama voted against the measure, twice. It ultimately failed.

In 2003, as chairman of the next Senate committee to which BAIPA was sent, Obama stopped it from even getting a hearing, shelving it to die much like babies were still being shelved to die in Illinois hospitals and abortion clinics.

(As chair of that same committee, Obama once abruptly ended a hearing early, right before Scott and Janet Willis, the parents of six children killed as a result of Illinois' drivers licenses for bribes scandal, were to testify in favor of Choose Life license plate legislation. I was there for that one, too. The Willises had traveled three hours. Reporters filled the room. Obama stalled. He later killed the bill when no one was around.)

Suzy..the stupid American people voted for Bill Clinton TWICE and the same for Senator Hillary Clinton. Our elections have been reduced to a popularity contest.

You think they aren't that stupid? I'm afraid they are.

Hillary! will grind this guy up and toss him into the dumpster of forgotten candidates...unless she can find a way to "use" him to her advantage.

[Mr. Mojo]

not going to happen.

Yeah, I just can't see a guy with a middle name of "Hussein" becoming President of the U.S.
