Obama seems to be a LOCK to be the nominee, but I'm not absolutely sure because I don't know if something else might popup before the convention. Don't you have some discomfort about the idea of supporting a candidate who is so hanging by a thread that you don't know if there is going to be some kind of "ethics eruption" or "terrorist eruption" or "other relationship eruption" before the election? If his candidacy is THAT tenuous, it would seem to be wise to think in terms of one of the other candidates. If one of these "eruptions" happens after he is nominated, it could literally result in the loss of an election which otherwise might have (should have) been winnable.

" If I were Obama's campaign manager I'd put a big poster up with the word HUMILITY on it and I'd make sure he looked at it everyday." That couldn't hurt any pol. Massive egos seem to be the norm. I'd remind him of John Kerry.
