The good news is he IS NOT HILLARY. The bad news is HE IS VERY, VERY GOOD and our presumptive candidate is not!
I think the timeline points to:
April or so: Clinton gives up
November: Obama wins the general against McCain/Huck
January: Obama is sworn in
(Insert repeat of Jimmah Carter presidency here)
(Insert, hopefully, repeat of Reagan presidency here)
I really think he’ll sweep to the White House, and prove himself to be a black Jimmah Carter, bungling the economy and generally proving himself ineffective, and ultimately getting himself on the short list of one-term presidents.
Hillary, I’d be more scared of. She knows how to pull strings to make things happen. Obama’s a novice who just happens to be good at getting the public to vote for him. To get an idea of who is good at working behind the political scenes, look the superdelegates. They’re going for Clinton.
“The bad news is HE IS VERY, VERY GOOD and our presumptive candidate is not!”
Obama is a fabulous speaker. He will absolutely destroy McCain in a debate.
