He needs to prove himself alittle more to the Americans who won’t give him the time of day jsut because he’s black. If he and Hillary were on the same ticket and he was the vice that would possibly give us 16 years of democratic leadership. People we need to think of the long term not just 2008. If Hillary or Obama make it in 2008 then we need to have already set in place a plan for the next 4-12 years. If we continue with republicans in leadership we will all suffer. Financially I can’t take anymore. We have got to have a LONG TERM BREAK THROUGH!!!! Hillary and Obama for 2008-2016 and Obama and ???? for 2016-2024. Think about it!

I think we’re gonna be stuck with the Republicans for sometime yet. So what the hell… give Obama a go….

I think Hillary would be an unparalelled disaster for the Democratic party. Yes, she’s fantastic in a lot of ways, and I would vote for her happily, but I honestly think she would have less than no chance of winning the general election. She lacks the charisma and charm it takes to win on a national level. Finally have you noticed how many conservative commentator are pushing us to nominate her? She a GOP dream canidate and they know it. Obama on the other-hand, well let’s just say I think Obama oh-eight, sounds pretty good.

If Colin Powell ran for President I doubt he would get more than 15 percent of the black vote. The real issue is that Obama is a Democrat and Democrats since Roosevelt have traditionally stood for the rights of all men, including minorities. Obama is not and will not be ready for the Presidency in 2008. Most early polls and political pundits see Hillary Clinton as a shoo-in for the Democratic Nomination and better than half of them believe she will choose Obama as her running mate. After another eight Clinton Presidency, Obama will be ready for the White House and could possibly win if he can get the full support of Latin Americans. Between Latinos and African Americans, by 2016, that would represent about 32 percent of the electorate. Add in half of the female-vote and you get a 55 percent lead to victory.

By the way, 2008 just might become another Clinton-Bush showdown with Hillary-Obama against the Jeb Bush-Bill Frist ticket.

And we know racism still exists in America. This, however, could work in his favor. Minorities are going to vote for this man, simply because HE is a minority. And, of course, the normal, non-racists citizens, will also support him. I believe the majority of racist Americans are Republicans anyway! Obama 2008!!!!!!!

I support the concept of Barak Obama for President of the US in the near future. His leadership will restore the balance of power in the US and bring about an era of enlightenment and possibly a rightful swing towards the left in American politics. It is imparitive that voters break the trend of Republican right-wing authority in the years to come as well as the disturbing merger of church and state. Fellow Democratic Americans, I wish you all the best. Keep on pursuing what you believe in!
