It is WAY too early to worry about the fall, IMO. Obama is good for us. His lack of experience will hurt him with any statesman-level candidate the GOP may find (and the top tier GOPers are all statesmanlike, even if some are better than others), and even if the worst were to happen and Obama were to win, he will have a hard time getting his lib plans through. (I do, however, fear his presidency should military action be needed anywhere.)

All of that said, better Obama than Hillary. I believe Obama is wrong, but I believe Hillary hates America.

I believe that both Obama and the Clintons have a socialist agenda in the wings.

I believe that the Clintons (who would be continuing their previous administration) would treat this as a “do-over” for 1993. One without Waco or the WTC bombing. One without Whitewater or Paula Jones or Monica. They are itching to push forward their agenda and hope to keep the Democrat majority (which may not hold in 2008).

What’s more I think that the Clintons are willing to pull out the stops to smear, investigate, audit, etc. their political enemies whereas Obama may find some moral disgust at trying to follow in their political footsteps.

Both candidates have the wrong policy, I believe that one is willing to use any means necessary to push through those policies.

Given Obama's rockstar status, and the dismissal of Fred's serious conservatism because he isn't a rockstar, I would say if Obama is nominated, the sheeple will turn out for him--he is a new day dawning; he is our only hope as a nation; he can bring this country together.----WRONG!

He is more liberal than Hillary, if that is possible. He has 2 years exp. as senator and a few years as a state congresscritter, and he has NEVER once voted for a conservative idea. He is for fullblown social healthcare, total nannystatism, and has no foreign policy whatsoever.

Fred Thompson is the only conservative besides Duncan Hunter in this race, but given the people's appetite for celebrity appeal and one line zingers, Geroge Washington could not get elected. And given 40-50 years of failing public education, too many people don't have a clue of history or what is needed in a strong conservative president.

I think Pipes makes a valid point of how Obama will be perceived by the Muslim world.
