...enjoy the spectacle of HRC’s ultimate crash and burn, but if the final race is between Huckabee and Obama, Obama will most likely win.

So be it. Hillery is a known entity. Obama is not shrill and his darling wife will be raising the girls. The big plus, no Bill in the white house or supreme court. Anybody want to take a chance on that? :)

As long as Obama/Clinton isn't The Ticket!

If she's done in 2008, I'm just fine with that!!

What seems clear to me is that Obama has that thing called "charisma" that every other candidate appears to lack, including the GOP candidates. It is what propelled JFK and even Bill Clinton. It attracts the young voters, and/or the voters who only want to look at and listen to someone who does not remind them of a stern and wise grandfather - as the Iowa caucus showed. That is the problem with most of America - they want "charisma" over quality or qualifications - sense and sensibility - they just want to feel good. It is all about excitement and they want to be excited by someone, rather than feel secure with someone who really is experienced (not pretend experience ala Hillary)to lead this country .

Unfortunately, the GOP has no one who is exciting or has the charisma that appeals to the young - under age 35 - or female voters who are not truly interested in politics and are easily influenced by someone who seems to be "nice." The young voters feel they can relate to Obama, his young wife and young family. For the shallow thinkers that is all that is important - the message is not, the direction of the country is not - only the pretense of "niceness" is what they look at. At least that is what it seems is the problem IMHO.
