In your opinion, what is it about Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) that makes him so appealing to young people and do you think he truly has a shot at the White House?

He is one of us, the common people of the US. His background is one of achievement after achievement. Did you know he worked on the south side of Chicago, as a social worker for $13000 a year. I do like him, and I like his chances. What he lacks in experience he gains in intelligence. He is well educated, very well spoken, and I think he has a quality about him that many politicians don't and that is the ability to listen. I think he has a good chance to be president, if not that then vice president with an eye to the future.

Your question as well should be, would the democratic party elect him to represent their party. Edwards seems to be the most electable democratic candidate. I think the party/Hillary will blast him soon to gain the party's favor. He is intelligent surely and speaks well. I would not vote for him at this time, I would go with Edwards of N.C. Everyone is jumping now on universal health care, where were they all when Hillary dumped it and hubby Bill got elected for it? Vote on who you think can make a difference in congress and no long term congress person with all those buddies.

For me it somewhat is a tragic day in American background as i don't have self assurance the hot president and the Democratic social gathering will unite or restoration u . s . of america’s issues. in case you seem into it deep it replaced into from lengthy in the past the sub best own loan got here out of the bill Clinton time. On nationwide wellbeing. Take seem at Canada’s (nationwide healthcare), each and every physique is waiting YEARS to ensure a DOCTER! do you prefer to attend a 300 and sixty 5 days to ensure a doctor in case you have we could say, maximum cancers? And it somewhat is not loose it comes out of tax payers money and government run. As for McCain God bless him. The playing cards the place stacked against him. What the place they? Age , not good looking, not a candy talker, Republican Bush background, the worst financial device simply by fact the large melancholy of the Thirties,and the on going conflict, so he had little or no risk to win. in case you think of Obama will take from the wealthy and supply it to the unfavorable you reside in myth land. the wealthy will flow there money and investments out of u . s . of america alongside with massive corporation and jobs. greater government potential greater TAX to pay for every physique. Sorry i'm purely complaining , yet I do care approximately u . s . of america and that i did vote. What ever happens it won't impression me plenty as I even have moved out of the rustic .And over right here. the aspects is nice ,food is clean and ample and existence form is on the take it facet. on the plus facet with the hot president. could be waiting to get greater loose money from the hot Democratic government.

I think Obama identifies and connects with the youth more than any other candidate. But to get to the White House is another issue.-

Young people always are attracted to young people.
That is not the qualification that one needs to be a president.
As for him living in the White House;...well truth is, those that have been pushing him to make a "fool" of himself,
already told him, "no way".....
...you an us though are not supposed to know this ok?

Young, charismatic, warm, a good speaker, and a good lifestory.
No, he doesn't have a chance -- I think his inexperience will sink him -- plus, Hillary plays hardball, and just watch how they sabotage him in the coming months. Plus, he's already making a lot of mistakes.

He appears young, and is very articulate,and empathetic.
I do not think he will get the nomination (this time).
