Obama is the right person to be president. He wants it but not at the cost of something important. That's the kind of person who should be in the White House. Someone who has his priorities straight and will keep the country's priorities straight. Someone who can speak truth to power and not be afraid. And that's why his popularity is growing so quickly; why Kerry and Hillary feel so threatened. Its cool to like Obama because he's black and different. But Kerry and Hillary are counting on that coolness to wear thin and end. And it will. His popularity will wane......temporarily........and then come back stronger than ever. And that's because he's the real deal! lol

Obama is black. He can't win the general election. And will not be nominated. Wait until 2016. If demographics start tilting toward a minority majority by then, Obama will have a chance. And just remember Harold Ford, very similar to Obama in many ways, destroyed with a single racist TV ad which the RNC denied any connection with. of course they lied. They planned it. And McCain hired the same ad man. What this whole Muslim thing will do is block Obama from ever getting more than 40% of the vote, especially in key swing states which are almost all white and pretty traditional. Blue states any candidate can win, but Obama might even have trouble in light blue states without significant minority populations. And in 2000 New Hampshire also cost Gore the election. If he had won NH he could have afforded to lose Florida. How many blacks in New Hampshire?
