He seems to be the liberal media's pick bc it's so interesting to dream about this young, cool, Halle Berry type black guy being the president. But thats it.
He seems to only be big bc he's a 'story', not bc of his politics. Are democrats(the ones who actually vote) really planing on voting for him in the primaries against Hillary, Edwards, and such other more qualified candidates? or is it all hype?

Nostradamus:
are you saying that if bush read his speeches like obama, that bush would then be the perfect president bc he speaks perfectly, never mind that pesky iraq situation and such?

Like most candidates, Obama is not perfect. He's someone who has a great vision for America, who managed to make something of himself. He's made mistakes, and so have many Americans. Maybe there is some merit to the 'experience' factor, having served just 2 years in Federal government.
But to counter the experience argument, I'd ask what it was about Bush's six years as Governor of Texas that really made him stand out. What was is that he did that really makes you say, 'hey, that guy should be President!'. What about all the business he ran into the ground, notably his own company, Arbusto?
Consider it for a second...just for a second. Nobody who is running for President has actually BEEN President. Presidents are surrounded by cabinet members advisors, speechwriters, research staff, and most notably, a Vice President.
Yes, I'd vote for him. I'm not totally sold yet, but I like his vision, his background, and his ability to be a real ambassador to the rest of the world. We could do a lot worse. President Gingrich, anyone?

Aside from Mr. Obama's family and friends, if anyone has already made up their mind on who to vote for they are idiots. The election is two years away and all the candidates have not even been declared yet. Today's concerns may not be the concerns two years from now. Listen to what he says and what his party says, and listen to everyone else from all other parties and vote for the one that makes the most sense regardless of their party.

I'm a democrat but not jumping on the bandwagon yet. He has no real foreign or domestic experience. He won a easy election to become Senator, has less than one term experience. He is a good speaker but does have a liberal bend. I would like to hear more on how he would run and not blame the current president.

He gets my vote over Hillary and Kerry in a heartbeat. And for all the people who are going to ask about his experience, answer me this. How experienced was Bush? Has Obama had multiple businesses fail? I hope he gets General Wesley Clark to run as VP.

I will not vote for Obama, I feel he needs more experience. Also, i think iike Colin Powell's wife. He seems to have too good a chance of being president. In this racially charged atmosphere someone would probably try to assassinate him.
