I think Kenneth had that same tingle run up his leg when he saw Edwards. You know, the tingke Chris Matthews got when he listened to Obama. ;^)

Interesting to read the early tingling, er, thinking, of Kenneth and AS in this election cycle. Here's AS in January '07:

Yes the Dem base loves Obama, and always loves the anti-establishment new face. But the general electorate will reject him if we're stupid enough to nominate him.

Same thing if Dean, McCarthy, Bradley, Jackson or Jerry Brown had been nominated. And for every new voter of color he turns out, he will also lose a moderate white voter to McCain.

That said, I think by 2016 he could be READY, and he might even be a good VP on the 2008 ticket. Another one of his problems is that he's extremely inexperienced. You are aware of that, I hope.

Bottomline, in the end, Dems are almost always pragmatic so they will NOT nominate either Hillary or Obama, assuming either of them or both actually runs. I also think it's quite likely Obama won't run. Because he's very smart and knows his own vulnerabilities.
