Except for that pesky Hispanic vote having qualms about supporting a black guy...

And his outrageously liberal record (MOST liberal senator)...

And his lack of ANY military or foreign policy experience...

Don’t believe the hype on Obama.

After what I saw at the polls here in yeehaw BFE Louisiana, I doubt Mr B Hussein O will get many Southern Dim votes of the melanin lacking variety.

I show up late at the polls after work. There is a lifelong Dem, Switching parties! Declaring there's no way in he77 he would EVER vote for either of those two!

Of course that just lands us Mean Mr McQueeg the man who never met an ammendment he didn't want to break!

Absolutely! 9 months is an awful long time in a political race. Who was that fellow that was a shoe-in not only for the Repub nom but also miles ahead of Hillary (the other front runner back then)? Some Rudy guy?

Rudy who? I don't think Obama will win the white house no matter
what the polls, or pundants say. He lacks everything and I want him
to win this primary.

Favorable media coverage won’t save him from Republican attack ads. The Clinton’s are nothing if not ruthless. I think Obama is soft. And he’s got nothing to fall back on besides a very liberal record with no military or foreign policy experience.

Your scenario has Obama running against Hillary and the GOP simultaneously. Hillary will be out of the picture long before the GOP goes up against Obama, perhaps even sooner than that.
