No, I don't think that Obama will win, I think it will be close, but his lack of experience won't get him voted in. I think he might look better in 2012, when he has a little more experience. But, I also don't think America will like the idea of a woman president either, but she will win the Democratic Primary, because so many people are in fact on her side.

Yes, I do think he will win. He's compassionate, intelligent, and listens to all the points of view on an issue.
Hillary is focusing only on winning. Her slogan is "I'm in it, to win it." I mean, come on. Obama, on the other hand, is focusing on uniting the American people to solve problems we all face.
He became popular after his DNC speech.

Although some might call him inexperienced, I believe he has values and judgement to be a good president. He is a bright guy. He was the first black president of the prestigious Havard Law Review, worked as a community organizer, served eight years in the Illinois legislature, and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago. He has pointed out that Rumseld and Cheney were the most experienced people in Washington...and we're now bogged down in the middle of an Iraq Civil War.
This is a good bio video:

What seperates him from the other candidates is that he stresses coming together as a country and he has been known to be a good listener. For that, he is respected by his Republican colleagues. In the Illinois Legislature
"Obama developed a reputation as a very conservative poker player. He threw in many more hands than he played, said another Senate colleague, Larry Walsh. "I told him once, 'If you were a little more liberal in your poker-playing and a little more conservative in your politics, we'd get along a lot better.' ""

In the Illinois senate race, he appealed to even the most conservative districts: "He recalled Sunday that when he successfully ran for the Senate in Illinois two years ago, he was well-received in downstate Cairo, Ill., a city which had been racially segregated in the late 1960s and which used to have a white separatist White Citizens’ Council.
“Southern Illinois is the South,” Obama explained to an audience of Yankees in Portsmouth, N.H. “It’s closer to Little Rock or Memphis than it is to Chicago.”
In the 1960s, Cairo was “the site of some of the worst racial violence of any place in the nation, as bad as anything going on in Mississippi or Alabama,” Obama said.
Some Illinois Democrats, he recalled, were worried in 2004 that a black candidate from Chicago named Obama was “not going to sell downstate.”

I'd recommend you listen to his podcast.

You'll discover a candidate that is intelligent and authentic.
When it comes down to it, I think Obama will be a lot more productive as president than any other candidate in both parties. He could really change the cultural of politics in our country. This excites a lot of people.
By the way, some conservative publications put out a report saying he was raised a radical muslim. That is political bullshit. He's a christian and wasn't raised a muslim.

Obama wont win for many reasons:
-Inexperienced
-Is muslim (still too much racism)
-Is running against more experienced people

No way in hell, he's just a patsy to get John Edwards more votes to win.

I don't care who wins, as long as our government takes care of the sick, elderly and the innocent.

I think Hillary's going to buy herself the nomination. I'm not happy about it either!

He has as good a chance as anyone. He's young, bright, knowledgeable, personable and enthusiastic. I think he'd be more popular than Hillary.
