Before you go off half witted and respond, take a second... Looking for an honest forum about how you feel about Barack Obama running for president in '08? He seems to be the only person in politics that hasn't lost his mind nor has he gone power crazy. He is interested in the young and the old, working class families and seems to be a truly good candidate that has a real chance to bring something new to our country. What is your thought? www.barackobama.com

I feel much the same about him as my former Senator John Edwards... ambitious and inexperienced. At least he's better than Hillary. I'm a Libertarian and will be voting for the candidate that best fits my political views.

I think Obama has a bright future; but '08 isn't his year. He has no real experience at the national level. And while he might get the nomination, I don't think the American people are ready to give the persidency to someone who's only been in the Senate for two years.
Also, if you actually listen to what he's saying, he talks in glittering generalities that have much substance. You can get a certain mileage from the "Politics of Feeeling Good;" But in the long run, you need more substance. And as I say, two years in the Senate doesn't qualify. Maybe in 8 more years he'll have it.

Don't think Obama will make it past the primaries. Don't think Hillary will either. But then no democrat is going to be able to beat Rudy G. anyway.
Obama is to young, though that does not bother me personally, it usually decides elections. Hillary has to much baggage and her on again, off again support for the war in Iraq is going to hurt her quite a bit. Her trying to be like Bill by being on all sides of all issues will show though. I don't think the Dems will run another centerist like her. It worked for Bill for it won't work for her.

I like so far what he stands for, and i love hearing him speak, but Bush hasn't exactly set up ideal situation for the next president to come into so no matter who it is it will be difficult, but he seems like the type of man who trust wise council and that is what we need in the next presidency, he may not be the most experienced but that might be what we need!

Finally a potential President for the 2008 presidential race that can heal the nation instead of dividing it along party, racist and economic lines.

I think he is the only person running who talks about hope..A breath of fresh air among the smog of most candidates !

He's my vote. He seems less bought and sold, unlike HRC, McCain or any other candidate. If he cares, and it seems he does, I will be happy.
