Hope for Obama in New Hampshire time.com <<...Obama's charisma has been compared to Bill Clinton's, but the ex-President himself has suggested he would have trouble getting elected today, because of the complicated foreign policy decisions the nation faces. Still, in an interview with CNN last month, Obama addressed the issue head-on, saying "I think the important thing is not experience per se. Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney had the best resumes in Washington and initiated a fiasco in Iraq."

He was even a real war hero. It's because only 30% of the country are liberal, and that hasn't changed. And because those 30% are concentrated in urban areas and blue states. So think purple, baby. Which means centrist. Bottomline, we don't want to lose again, and we can't win with a liberal's liberal as a candidate. And remember, it wasn't just cheating which cost Gore the election, it was Ralph Nader.
