Or will the same thing happen to him that happened to Tom Badley when he ran for the Senate in California? All the whites said sure they'ed vote for him in all of the polls and the polls all had him up by about 20 points. But, when the whites went to the polls they didn't vote for him and he LOST!!! Everyone was SO suprised. It's one thing to be cool and say you'll vote black another thing to actually do it, right? I hope the Democrats don't have to find out the hard way!!!!

I have to say it is iffy...
My husband and son went to see him speak here in Vegas, and he said most of the crowd was white. I think when it comes to Obama, no offense really, but he talks a lot like a white man. Well white enough to get by.
I would vote for him.... but he's not my favorite choice...

I mean he has the finances to run he's raised something like $30 million. But I think should have waited. I mean he just got elected into the sentate now he's running for president. He should have waited until he's had a couple of terms in the senate under his belt before he ran. Honestly I don't like him or Hilary Clinton, but if I had to choose. I'd choose Hillary because she has more experience than him.

I'm hoping for him, but there are too many uncertainties...i guess its cliche to say color doesn't matter, but i would hope our country could get over it! and if race must be an issue, maybe some people will vote FOR him because they fell guilty Not doing so! but, during the little coverage I've exposed myself to, i see him as a very charismatic candidate.
and your comments about CA, the white people who said they would and didn't were probably feeling guilty for saying NO...this is why i got over the whole race thing years ago...you'd think the greatest country in the world would be able to get over skin color by now, huh?
YEAH OBAMA!!! how cool would it be, really?

Obama can win but Hillary might have the upper hand right now. The general population is not in favor of republicans at present so it will probably come down to between them two.
Obama isnt black, I think he is of middle eastern decent. But I dont think his ethnicity will play a big role in his vote because after all hillary is a woman- another minority.

It's called "Vote Tampering"...Bush has done it before, and I'm sure it'll happen again. The president of Diebold Corp is the ultimate decider. The 'Electoral College' is sooo outdated.

Polls are full of lies...I sure would like to know who they asked because no one came and asked me who I'd vote for! That's the funny thing about polls...where do they get their numbers from?

Yes...all he has to do is make sure America knows the real Hillary...but winning the whitehouse might be a little harder..his American wuss program is not my cup of tea I want a strong leader with a big gun...Hillary is a pig in sheeps clothing she isnt fooling any one...I like Obama..but I dont want him going against Uncle Binny and his bunch ...we need Rudy for that task...

We have to watch what happens in New Hampshire-If he comes out as one of the top three, he may make it-Hillary will and I do not know who else will

He probably won't win. Beyond being high yellow, he's also a novice. Too many unknowns.
