Probably, but you gotta admit, the name makes you a little uncomfortable.

Yes, I think he actually will be elected. The COC and the rest of the government are looking for some diversity, not just a smart, protestan, white male.

He was elected as a Democrat to the Illinois state senate in 1996. Four years later, he made an unsuccessful run for the U.S. House of Representatives. Obama won reelection to the state senate in 2002, running unopposed. As early as 2002, he was a critic of the proposed Iraq War, declaring in a television interview that he would have voted against the Iraq Resolution. In 2004 he ran for an open seat in the U.S. Senate. Midway through the campaign, Obama delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention and became a nationally known political figure. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2004 with a landslide 70% of the vote.

Obama is expected to formally announce his candidacy for the 2008 presidential election in Springfield, Illinois, on February 10, 2007. Recent opinion polls rank him as the second most popular choice among Democratic voters for their party's nomination, after Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY).

He stated that the role of government in economic affairs, Obama has written: "we should be asking ourselves what mix of policies will lead to a dynamic free market and widespread economic security, entrepreneurial innovation and upward mobility [...] we should be guided by what works." Speaking before the National Press Club in April 2005, Obama defended the New Deal social welfare policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt, associating Republican proposals to establish private accounts for Social Security with Social Darwinism. In a May 2006 letter to President Bush, he joined four other midwest farming state Senators in calling for the preservation of a $0.54 per gallon tariff on imported ethanol

Senator Obama is an extremely personable youthful guy who seems to easily like human beings and care approximately what they could say. even however, he's a usual time senator; he's very youthful and green in politics. He lacks the years in D.C. to make him a conceivable candidate at the instant. He needs to enhance and enhance and learn greater approximately family members and foreign places affairs till now he would be a severe contender. i could see it happening in some years. people who oppose him because of the fact of his ethnicity or his call are too shallow to respire. that's merely the opinion of one older white conservative woman.

There are many out there who do...he is charismatic enough to get people moving...but I feel he lacks the experience to do the job as President.
